The rest of the song continues to make more sexual references about men and continues to reminisce on the older woman’s past sexual encounters. The chorus emphasizes that her memories aren’t stupid even though they may appear to be stupid to her now, so she should look back fondly on them. Also referring to the lack of Tabasco in the famous cocktail “Bloody Mary”, could be a metaphor for saying that her sex life is now lacking in spice or excitement. “You used to get it in your fishnets/now you only get it in your night dress”, describing how the woman’s sexual endeavours are probably less spontaneous than they used to be, as she only seems to have sex when she’s in her night dress. The Arctic Monkeys tell this story through describing the changes in a particular woman’s sex life. The track tells the story of aging and how life seems to not be as fun the older you get. Released in 2007, from their “Favourite Worst Nightmare Album” the track’s upbeat guitar and drum have stood the test of time in the past eleven years, with it still being a firm favourite in the hearts of not only Arctic Monkeys fans, but those who love indie rock. “Fluorescent Adolescent” is arguably indie rock band Arctic Monkeys’ most famous and well-known song.
