Songs about being poor are somewhat empowering for those who are less off currently, or who have *ever* been poor or working class. Thrift shop has some lines about going to a club and seeing everyone wearing $50 t-shirts, and how much of a rip-off that is. It's a stupid t-shirt, but people are paying $50 for it. Right now I'm fortunate enough to *have* that kind of money to spend on a t-shirt, but I still think it's ridiculous. (I'm sure there are things I spend money on that other people think are ridiculous....)
