I did listen to them back in the day, they didn't strike me as an act with this much staying power |

i have heard the opening to "transgender" in a ton of youtube shorts or tiktoks though so maybe kids get exposed through that |

CC basically applied the formula but with pop production and hooks, instead of doing yet another autechre-style slog through computer noises.

Just catchy enough music around bleeps and bloops that sound like NES soundtracks hadn’t broken through before this. Others did it better before and after. They could clean up doing a summer of festivals if they reformed.
I feel the same way about Postal Service tbh |
