"Electroclash was a way to fight oppression with the power of sounding super, super gay. Of course it's making a comeback."
"For her and Adam Lee Miller-ADULT.'s sole other member and Kuperus' spouse-this music is an embodied form of community-making and critique, a way of serving vicious jeremiads whose potency is too strong to be ignored no matter how hard you're dancing."

This genre, rooted in the post-9/11 era, combines hedonism with a fight against oppression. ADULT., known for their harder sound, uses their music as a form of community-making and critique. Their latest album, Kissing Luck Goodbye, represents a creative reset, incorporating diverse samples and innovative sounds, showcasing their evolution while maintaining a focus on social commentary.
