I think I'm original and everybody's copying me
I've been wearin' chokers and I'm not even born in the nineties
I love Tame Impala, I don't know what that means
All of my friends are trippin' on LSD
I think I'm original and everybody's copying me
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause everybody loves a
Girl who does what she wants
[Chorus]
I'm too cool for the radio
Got vintage kicks, I'ma let you know
Got champagne bottles in the bathtub
That my best friend stole from the yacht club
Parents got money, but they ain't rich
I got Gucci, but I prefer to thrift
I'm hot shit, you know how it is
I'm an indie, edgy, cool kid
[Post-Chorus]
La-la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la
Indiе, edgy, cool kid
I don't do coke, yeah, I likе to eat
I can save the world with recycling
I'm a lonely girl, but I'm sociable (Sociable)
Call me emo, I'm emotional
Showin' up stoned to the party (Party)
The ones that never play Top 40 (Top 40)
I don't know the words, but I'll hum along
Like, oh my God, this is my favorite song
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause everybody loves a
Girl who does what she wants
[Chorus]
I'm too cool for the radio
Got vintage kicks, I'ma let you know
Got champagne bottles in the bathtub
That my best friend stole from the yacht club
Parents got money, but they ain't rich
I got Gucci, but I prefer to thrift
I'm hot shit, you know how it is
I'm an indie, edgy, cool kid
[Post-Chorus]
La-la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la
Indie, edgy, cool kid
La-la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la
Indie, edgy, cool kid
(You're literally so cool)
No, no, no, no, no
(You're really edgy)
(You're so edgy, you're so—)
(But you're so indie, cool, and edgy)
(Yeah, you're right, so we're not drinking?)
(We're not kidding, but are we? Haha)

At the beginning of 2020, I started getting attention from social media that I haven’t gotten before, and I realised that my actions affected the way that people perceived me. I was caring a bit too much. I started saying this phrase “indie edgy cool” to make fun of myself. And so, the song started with me walking into the studio with the lyrics ‘I’m too cool for the radio/Got vintage kicks, I'ma let you know.’ We wrote the chorus and then, pretty quickly, it went on to bass, the electric guitar stabs in the chorus.

Sometimes I can care too much about being cool, so I used to say the phrase “indieedgycool” to make fun of myself for caring. I had the idea to turn it into a song when I was at a party with a bunch of people I didn’t like and I encountered people who I would consider “indieedgycool” kids in-person and on the internet, then wrote a song about it.
The song is a good reminder for me to not take things so seriously sometimes and just to be willing to laugh at myself and take others' opinions more lightheartedly. I hope people hearing the song can feel the same.
