I don't want to offend... but clicking through that... my god that is some nauseating garbage lol! The electronic aspect sounds like a typical 90s dnb video game menu background music and the vocals are the commercial dance music banality that cuts me like fingernails on a blackboard. You are allowed to call be grandad in return :)
