"Loser" by Beck, released in 1994, achieved unexpected mainstream success, peaking at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Its unique blend of alternative hip-hop and anti-folk elements made it an instant cult classic, and its initial popularity kickstarted the "slacker" and "alternative" movements of the 1990s. The song's iconic refrain, "I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me," became a cultural touchstone and cemented Beck's status as a pioneering artist in the alternative music scene.
