Alternative rock with driving mid-tempo drums, gritty palm-muted guitars, and a tight bass pulse; verse stays tense and restrained, pre-chorus opens into rising toms and stacked harmonies, chorus hits wide with gang doubles on the hook phrase. Use short delay throws on the last word of lines, a filtered guitar swell into each lift, and a final bridge that strips to voice and kick before the last full-band chorus. Bright, punchy, and emotionally raw, with close-mic lead vocals and shouted backing replies on the turnaround.
