Alex Turner y su estilo único de componer ha hecho de Arctic Monkeys una banda entrañable para una generación que buscó en el UK una nueva manera de expresarse dentro del indie rock. Sus letras son reflejo de una juventud irreverente y observadora, aceptando la sátira social y la transformación de lo cotidiano en algo memorable como presmisas de una perspectiva natural del mundo. Aquí te dejamos algunas de las frases más representativas en las ingeniosas canciones de este grupo, combinand agudeza y poesia en su propio estilo:
