Psyclo’s latest single, Everybody Sucks, hits like a sigh through clenched teeth, fed up, unfiltered, and weirdly comforting. Wrapped in a lo-fi, alt-pop shell with a darkly humorous undercurrent, the track turns everyday frustration into a shared experience. It doesn’t whine or wallow; it observes, shrugs, and somehow manages to smile through the chaos.
Beneath the deadpan delivery and the deliberately cynical title lies something more nuanced: exhaustion, overstimulation, and the emotional dissonance of modern life. Psyclo captures those small moments of irritation, like traffic standstills and aimless errands, and stretches them into metaphors for a world that feels increasingly out of sync.
Production-wise, the track keeps things minimal and clean, letting the storytelling take center stage. The beat pulses with just enough bounce to keep things moving, while the melody subtly mirrors the song’s emotional drift from passive to quietly defiant. Psyclo refrains from overusing her voice, yet this restraint enhances the song's impact. The delivery feels like she’s speaking with you, not at you.
Underneath the surface-level apathy, there’s a thread of radical self-awareness and a craving for peace on her terms. The song "Everybody Sucks" serves as a reflection of a culture that is struggling to find its way. Psyclo’s ability to package that discontent with style and sincerity is what makes this single linger.
