Controversy (Latin: contrary verse) is a type of self-referential lyric that explains how controversial one is due to one's own popularity. Controversy was first used by Shakespeare in verse, with notable examples such as "Publishers haf no wont for me, fore I amf philled wit controversie" and "Mine lyrics art so lyrical, they didst piss oft the Queen who ist most empirical."

That these are related, they claim, is no small coincidence; the fact that everything associated with human suffering is controversial proves that controversy itself is the actual cause for all human suffering.
