Our favorite songs of "Culture War 23":

"Too Cool" is a robust amalgamation of punk and rock, influenced by bands such as the Beastie Boys or Red Hot Chili Peppers. The song exhibits a funky guitar riff, a pulsating drum beat. The song’s lyrics are inventive as well as ironic. An absolute banger as opener.

"Mood is Low" exemplifies how to craft a sonorous and unforgettable auditory experience. The guitar riffs are unadorned but efficacious, the bass lines are rhythmic and ponderous, and the drums are swift and intense. The vocals are unfiltered and emotive, expressing a sentiment of discontent and defiance with ingenious and amusing lyrics
