Attention's "Mean Girled" Turns Petty Drama Into a Dark Wave Party Anthem

Summary

Erin Hoagg's band Attention releases a new single "Mean Girled," a dark wave anthem that transforms petty drama and personal rumination into a sleek, party-like track. The song was inspired by the artist's struggle with unwanted worrying about people she doesn't care about, driven by what she describes as a "strong sense of justice." The lyrics reference the concept of "poisoning the well," an informal fallacy with historical roots in the Black Death era.
