Same energy as the weird assistant manager in your shitty job who keeps his 600euro headphones, that he listens to YouTube videos on with no amp, on his person as long as possible to show off, or the mid life crisis man who suts in his cope car on his own hoping people walking passed are impressed that he bought a thing.
