Kim Gordon Updates ‘Bye Bye’ With Terms ‘Canceled’ by President Trump: ‘Mental Health, Electric Vehicle, Gulf of Mexico…’


Kim Gordon unveiled a new version of her 2024 single"Bye Bye" on Friday (June 13) aimed squarely at the culture wars created by President Trump.

Rechristened “Bye Bye 25!,” the protest song now features the Sonic Youth alum listing off a litany of cultural terms the Trump administration has not only gotten worked up over, but attempted to erase from official government records altogether since returning to office in January. “Mental health, electric vehicle, Gulf of Mexico/ Energy conversion, gay, bird flu, advocate, pregnant person,” Gordon intones over skittering, apocalyptic production, before later adding words like “immigrants,” “diversity,” “victims,” “transgender,” “Hispanic,” “fluoride” and “female” to the stanzas. To coincide with the release, Gordon has also designed a limited-edition T-shirt, with proceeds from both the tee and the song going to benefit Noise for Now, a New Mexico-based nonprofit organization dedicated to abortion access and reproductive rights justice.
