*I’ve boxed and enjoyed it, but have concerns about it as a sport. Digital Sheet Music for Doesnt Remind Me by Chris Cornell, Audioslave scored for Guitar Tab id:386285. Similarly, instead of dealing with the trauma of losing his father, the son in the video is seeking out distractions - and this case those distractions are mostly violent. One possible reading of the song’s lyrics is the singer is trying very hard to remain in denial about something that is troubling him. I think it works well with the lyrics too. The son seems to feel better after winning the fight, his mother feels proud, and his trainers are glad he's learning and enjoying the sport, but it's a great microcosm of "everyone in this situation is just doing the best they can but this is how we end up unintentionally normalizing violence." The son is too young to know any better but it seems society (including his mother, but also everyone training him and cheering him on) is more than happy to repeat the toxic cycle of violence that got his father killed.
The family has lost their husband and father to war, and the very-young son finds solace in… playing with toys that look like weapons of war, running away and breaking things, and getting involved in a violent competition*. But ignoring the artists' intentions it's a disturbing story of a cycle of toxic masculinity.
