Founded in Sweden in the early 2010s, Drain Gang emerged as a force to be reckoned with, breaking away from conventional music norms and embracing a distinctive blend of electronic, rap, and punk influences. The group's music often explores themes of isolation, drug use, technology, and existentialism, reflecting a sense of detachment from the mainstream world.
The group's music has consistently pushed the boundaries of what is considered rap and hip-hop, incorporating elements of pop, punk, and electronic music. This fusion of genres has helped to define the hyperpop movement, a genre that embraces experimentation and genre-blurring, leading to a loyal and passionate fan base.
