Music genre
Everything must be broken is the logical continuation of the style known from the previous album next stop tiled floor . It's about melodic, German-speaking punk rock, which oscillates between aggressive and melancholic, but which is a bit more poppy, but also darker than on its predecessor. The texts are kept rather cryptic.
