I Wish You Every Success by Fashion Tips

A colorless, austere, angry flavor of alternative culture reflects many of the stifling social conventions of the mainstream, boxing out the same people who fled the mainstream in the first place. Loudly, colorfully, and flamboyantly rebelling against this stuffy, sweaty alternative misdirection, I Wish You Every Success by Fashion Tips dances circles around the cross-armed cool guys with its riot-grrrl-tinged, vibrantly energetic synth punk sound. Drum machines oscillate between frantic drum and bass and more open punk patterns, inviting fuzzy bass and brash guitars to fill out the sonic foundation. Overhead, treble synths dart rapidly between industrial experimentalism and bubblegum melodies, as passionate vocals sway between shouts and screams delivering diary entry prose. These lyrics express discomfort both towards condescending, straight-laced professionalism and media-trained, grayscale internet alternative, eschewing both in pursuit of the sort of accepting yet uncompromisingly wild partying that gets lost in both camps. Breaking our cold stares and rigid posture, color rains down as we dance in ways we never knew we were allowed to, revealing the world we left behind in all its dull glory.
