Pumped Up Kicks Syndrome

Dank ass music. Dark ass lyrics.

“Pumped Up Kicks” by Foster The People sounds like an upbeat song, but upon further examination, it is about a school shooting. Any song that has a happy tune, but dark lyrics has Pumped Up Kicks Syndrome.

Person 2: isn’t it about a kid with mental health problems?

Person 1: yeah, that’s what it’s about.
