90s grunge with sludgy down-tuned guitars, swinging but heavy drums, and a bass line that grinds in the pocket; verse stays tense and sparse, pre-chorus climbs with feedback and tom rolls, chorus opens into ragged gang shouts and crashing chords, bridge drops to half-time with a single dirty guitar and distant vocal doubles, then final chorus explodes with extra distortion and scratched-up ad-libs. Gritty male vocals, close-mic verses, shouted hook layers, tape hiss, reverse cymbal swells, and a raw, wet, basement-finished mix., grunge
