With a catchy beat and provocative lyrics, ‘Drugs’ by UPSAHL is a bold dive into the underbelly of party culture, wrapped in a glossy veneer of pop brilliance. The song, superficially, is an anthem for the disinterested, those who find themselves at gatherings not for the social connections but for the hedonistic pleasures. However, beneath the surface, it’s a nuanced ballad of modern isolation and the facades we don to navigate the social labyrinth of young adulthood.

From the sarcastic echoes of ‘Hello, it’s so good to see you’ to the mocking repetition of ‘ah-ah-ah-ah’s, UPSAHL’s ‘People I Don’t Like’ serves as an anthem for an internally eyerolling generation. The song is a razor-sharp mockery of the plasticity found in social gatherings and the feigned interest that often courses through them.
