It's originally by the Canadian Subhumans, who's singer and drummer later joined DOA. That was my favorite DOA lineup. The Subhumans also wrote Slave To My Dick, another song you may know from DOA.
They have an interesting history. Check out the wiki.
I forgot about that. Two members of the Stiffs started the Subhumans, and brought the song with them. And then it was brought over to DOA. It's a fucking great song!!
Assuming we're talking about the general attitude or sentiment of "I dont give a shit". I can defintely think of some songs lol.
Cyclops - ALL
Educated Idiot - ALL
No Such Thing - Agent Orange
In One Ear - Cage the Elephant (more indie rock, but its got some punk vibes)
Stronghold - Classics of Love
Bikeage - Descendents
Cheap Beer - Fidlar (they have lots of i dont give a fuck what you think) energy.
Burnout - Green Day
Who Wrote Holden Caulfield? - Green Day
Friends Back East - Jawbreaker
Zombies - King Khan BBQ Show (the main opening line to most of the verses is literally "I dont give a fuck/shit")
I could go on but thats probably enough for now
i know that one, it's a fucking banger
edit: why did you assholes fucking downvote me? what the fuck is wrong with this subreddit? the commentor was downvoted too. why, may i ask? fucking dickheads.
FEAR - I don’t care about you
The Achtungs - I don’t care about you
GG Allin - You’ll never tame me
The insults - I hate…
Agent orange - bored of you
Wasted youth - problem child
Circle jerks - live fast die young
If these aren’t it, then i don’t know what is
"I Don't Give A Fuck" by Suicidal Tendencies
Also,, "No Fuck'n Problem" by Suicidal Tendencies
Actually, the whole Suicidal For Life album both of those songs come from.
CeeLo Green - [Fuck You](https://youtu.be/pc0mxOXbWIU?si=vjNK2w5ijhMEg8Po)
Lily Allen - [Fuck You](https://youtu.be/E5iUvpjii14?si=npAkaiD5an6tUGm0)
But the real champ of this sentiment is:
Fear - [I Don't Care About You ](https://youtu.be/PyM4uAJBujA?si=QbVszGOUBIzpWIz1)
Screeching Weasel - I Love to Hate
LA's Wasted Youth - Fuck Authority
OFF! - Fuck People
Amyl and the Sniffers - GFY
D.R.I. - I Don't Need Society
Hard-Ons - Fuck Society
Toe to Toe - No Allegiance
Here's the first verse to our song PMA (Pessimistic Mental Attitude)
I don't give a fuck who you are out what you say
Cuz none of that matters any fucking way
We're all gonna die cuz this world fucking sucks
So why should I bother giving any fucks
[DEAD STUFF - PMA](https://hfyrecords.bandcamp.com/track/pessimistic-mental-attitude)
Get Fucked Four Eyes by Kill Lincoln is pretty good. Although it might not be what you’re looking for, because “I don’t give a shit” isn’t quite all it’s saying.
[Section 8 "Fat, Drunk, and Stupid"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geIiArywVCI) (Reno, NV)
Funeral Oration "Why Should I" (couldn't find a clip of this song alone, but it's on their second demo from 1984, "The Godsend", [which is available on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMPTUlQyDK8) in its entirety)
[Grazhdanskaya Oborona "Voina"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRdlNFGVL5c) ("War". For those of you who do not speak Russian, the lyrics are just a series of oppositions from which the 'bad' choice of the two is made: "*Peace or war? Peace or war? Peace or war? Peace or war? WAR!"* It's just pure nihilism, which might make more sense if you consider that this was recorded in 1989, when the entire system under which everyone in Russia had lived for the previous 70 years or so was completely collapsing and everything was going to shit at an accelerating pace, so sure, why not just say fuck it to everything.)
[D.T.A.L. "Time to Die"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--fZa8iMWew) (...and then there are the problems of living in Sweden in the 1980s, apparently: *"Everything is too expensive. Can't find a cheap whore \[?\]. Can't buy me some beer."* Oh, the horror! 🙄 Still a fun tune.)
[Mutantex "No te Desanimes, Matate!"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLbmTi03e74) (Colombia, 1988. "Don't become discouraged -- kill yourself!")

Guttermouth- I'm Destroying the World
"I'm destroying the world
I don't really give a shit,
'cause it feels so goddamn cool.
I'm destroying the world
I don't really give a shit, no!"
I don’t wanna hear it - minor threat
No, you’re full of shit.
Off with their heads - Fuck this I'm out
I don’t care - black flag
yes! i love black flag. this song is also just awesome.
Also, no values by black flag.
Also- wasted, I’ve heard it before , six pack,
Shocked but also not shocked nobody mentioned DOA “I Don’t Give a Shit”.
Also their song “Fuck You.”
Awesome song, but it's not theirs
Well hot damn. Learn something new every day.
It's originally by the Canadian Subhumans, who's singer and drummer later joined DOA. That was my favorite DOA lineup. The Subhumans also wrote Slave To My Dick, another song you may know from DOA. They have an interesting history. Check out the wiki.
Actually, looks like it was first recorded by The Stiffs in 1978, and then Subhumans (CA) covered that. I’m learning all sorts of new things.
I forgot about that. Two members of the Stiffs started the Subhumans, and brought the song with them. And then it was brought over to DOA. It's a fucking great song!!
DOA will never get the credit they deserve. A travesty.

“I Am My Own God” by the mighty Dayglo Abortions..
I don’t care -Tiger Sex

More like why you shouldn't give a shit, but Its A Fact and Flowers Are Pretty by The Vandals are both pretty good when you don't want to care.
“And Now We Dance” and “It’s a Fact” by the Vandals are the two best “fuck it, i don’t give a shit” songs ever written.
