this is too poppy and upbeat for me. i'm not joking.

the more underground variants of this style were never this catchy and arena-ready, even if this probably isn't going to hit an arena any time soon. or, maybe i'm wrong....maybe we'll never get out of these cyclical 80s revivals...

if i was going to listen to something like this nowadays, i'd want it to be a lot noisier and a lot darker.

as it is, it's just kind of repetitive and predictable and ultimately just sort of boring.
