<P> Referred to as a `` stoner rap '' by AllMusic 's Stephen Thomas Erlewine , the lyrics are mostly nonsensical . The song 's chorus , in which Beck sings the lines `` Soy un perdedor / I 'm a loser baby , so why do n't you kill me ? '' , is often interpreted as a parody of Generation X 's `` slacker '' culture . Beck has denied the validity of this meaning , instead saying that the chorus is simply about his lack of skill as a rapper . Jon Pareles wrote in The New York Times that `` The sentiment of ' Loser ' ( ... ) reflects the twentysomething trademark , a mixture of self - mockery and sardonic defiance '' , noting Beck 's `` offhand vocal tone and free - associative lyrics '' and comparing his vocals to `` Bob Dylan talk - singing '' . After its recording , Beck thought that the song was interesting but unimpressive . He later said , `` The raps and vocals are all first takes . If I 'd known the impact it was going to make , I would have put something a little more substantial in it . '' The relationship between Beck and Stephenson soured after the release of `` Loser '' as a single . Stephenson regretted his involvement in creating the song , in particular the `` negative '' lyrics , saying `` I feel bad about it . It 's not Beck the person , it 's the words . I just wish I could have been more of a positive influence . '' </P>
