RØRY with Seer (L) and Rich (R)
Finally! A political party that just makes sense! And the perfect time for it to come into play! Kids these days just complain about everything, aren't grateful about anything and are just an absolute pain in the backside. It just feels right that we finally have someone who is willing to put these whippersnappers in their place and make them realise they don't deserve NUFFIN! Vote RØRY and let's get this country back into shape once and for all!
...of course at this point, if you believe ANY of that...then you may have completely missed the point from both RØRY and myself. Whilst I do act like Grampa Simpson at times and shake my fist yelling the phrase 'kids these days', its not in a political sense. Rather, I wish they would stop having wild parties on my front lawn and NOT invite me (I'm hip...I'm cool...I know like 58% of modern lingo!).
Ok, jokes aside. One of my favourite artists from 2025, RØRY has unleashed a new satirical track for the world to enjoy - conveniently titled 'Kids These Days'. I first came across this track when I saw RØRY utilising social media and posting content about a new political party. Of course, this caught my attention -not because I'm that into politics (honestly, it confuses the hell out me sometimes)...but because it was surprising to see RØRY post something along these lines when we're used to much different content. Of course, after watching the snippets a couple of times, it soon became clear that RØRY was building up towards something new.
The first piece of music since 2025's 'Degradation', the track is a humorous take on the current state of affairs in Britain and its suppression of certain topics - in particular, that around mental health and being open with your feelings. Blending the usual Alt-Rock vibes with elements of Rap and Punk, the song is as punchy as it is witty. Its energetic and gets the blood pumping, voicing annoyance at the way things are handled with a clever tongue-in-cheek jab. Its cleverly done in that the lyrics make you consider what changes we need to make and consider without being direct, utilising reverse psychology to grab you and draw you into the lyrical content.
RØRY is in no way using this track to say 'we had it worse than you' - they're using this track to say we need to work towards making things better for future generations if we want to move forward. There is a lot of common ground between old and young, and with advancements in many fields such as mental health, we can now help identify issues in all generations so that we can understand one another better and clearer. Again - utilising reverse psychology in the lyrics will make listeners think on a deeper level rather than just taking the song at face value.
Of course - we can't ignore the humour used for this track. If you follow RØRY on socials, there is often a blend of humour mixed in with the topics they discuss so that things are informative, yet light-hearted. Of course, it only feels right that the video is shoot in an abandoned playground with family members Seer and Rich in the piece. The instant sign that this song is satirical? The toy instruments. Seeing Seer sat behind a much too small drum kit and Rich playing a plastic guitar just adds that extra element of fun to a rather mature topic - once again highlighting RØRY's ability to combine humour and informative content together to create something deeper without being an intellectual overload.
Once again, RØRY delivers a track in their own unique way that delivers something light-hearted but also important - we mustn't suppress, we must support. In order to survive and mature, we need to be able to discuss matters openly and not come down on people when they state they need help. We must learn to cultivate happiness and not feed into negativity. And whilst we do that, we need to splash a little humour into all to keep things joyous.
