Their impact lies in their ability to intertwine raw energy with playful performance, bringing a sense of fun and irreverence that often feels like a breath of fresh air in a scene that can lean towards the dark and brooding. This approach allowed them to connect with audiences in a way that transcended mere rebellion, positioning their live shows as jubilant celebrations rather than confrontational spectacles.

Their storytelling tends to highlight moments of revelry against the backdrop of everyday life, engaging listeners through vivid imagery and relatable narratives. The tone strikes a balance between playful wit and earnest emotion, creating songs that are both entertaining and thought-provoking.
