reception
The texts, which are primarily aimed at a female and underage target group, with “classically female topics” were named unimportant by the music press. The Swiss youth magazine Biwidus criticized the lyrics in particular: “Their recently released album Tic Tac Toe is becoming the manifesto of this precocious youth, the lyrics like I find you shit! and get pissed off just as much as the discussion of sex.
