pop-punk royalty MOD SUN shares “Rich Kids Ruin Everything”
Teaming up again with John Feldmann (5 Seconds of Summer, The Used, Panic At the Disco), MOD SUN explains the anthem:
I grew up a scene kid, a skateboarder and a pop punk kid…Its both awesome and hilarious yet confusing seeing the general public and pop culture embracing all the things that I would get torn down for. This is a song that I wrote for all the kids who feel confident in their own skin…Theres more to this world than whats currently popular. I want kids to feel like its important to be visionaries not followers.”
