hot topic

Like popping champagne in a cramped room - noisy, bold, and with sparks flying off the ceiling. There's no room for modesty here: ‘hot topic’ sounds like a brand label stuck on permanently, and toxicity is no longer a flaw, but a way of life. Phrases are cut off mid-sentence, but the meaning is clear: it's a dance on the edge of trash and self-irony, where you can feel like Britney, Obama and that ‘boy’ that everyone envies at the same time. The whole track is a continuous fanfare, spoken in one breath:"yes, I'm loud, yes, I'm loud - so what?"
