Issued as a 7-inch single in April 1990, "Slack Motherfucker" rapidly became one of the band's best-known songs. It has been credited with popularizing the "slacker" stereotype, and as a blueprint for future indie rock music.

RYM recently re-categorized 'Lo-fi' as 'Slacker' rock & I hate it, & it gets me mad. There's a lot of hard working DYI artists thrown in under the category, & as much I dig Subgenius mythology, I take it as a derogatory term when used about musicians.

as a slacker I also find it offensive since no true slacker could manage to put these kinds of projects together and stick with them

Tbf, "Slack Motherfucker" is an explicitly anti-slacker song.

“Slack Motherfucker” is ‘if you’ve got time to lean, you’ve got time to clean’ with a distortion pedal.

Spin described it as being about the "lazy oaf with whom Mac McCaughan shared the night shift at Kinko's" and quoted him that it was about the "freak [ he ] work[ ed ] with at Kinko's" on p 54 here: https://books.google.ca/books?id=yqmlNOuYQdEC&printsec=frontcover&hl=fr&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false
