ANFA’s frustration with meaningless experience and social rewards is visceral on her track “Fukk It.” It blasts into your ears in the beginning like an industrial rap song. The touch of autotune on the vocals give it a surreal quality that jibes well with when the song goes into its more melancholic, melodic passages with a little bit of Middle Eastern flavor in the tonal choices. The Swedish-born Iranian/Balochi packs a lot of sound and several ideas into this relative short song (2:33) giving it a dynamism and depth that augments its hard hitting critique of social media and its handmaiden consumer culture. The fiery chorus of “Everybody, same shit” highlights how social media and internet culture has also eroded cultural differentiation that made for a more diverse world so that it can seem that people are repeating, sharing and being influenced by the same viral content and concepts without taking the time to cultivate something truly their own and enriching their own lives and that of others in the process.
