Title and meaning of the lyrics
According to Dave Wyndorf, the writer,[8] he chose such a curious title for the song because it deals with those rock stars who, from his point of view, always seem to be negative (hence the word "negasonic" in the title) and apparently hate being what they are; more specifically, grunge musicians. David "Dave" Albert Wyndorf (born October 28, 1956) is the lead vocalist guitarist and songwriter for the American Stoner rock group Rock music is a genre of Popular music often though not necessarily employing Electric guitar, Bass guitar, and Drums. He wanted to show with the song that he doesn't like artists whose lyrics always deal with depression, unhappiness, and such things. However, he doesn't see the song as a manifesto. [9]

As the clip goes on, the members of the band begin destroying the things on their asteroids, whose stability begins to wane. Then, Dave Wyndorf is shown moving his hands around the Earth.
