Perth-based alternative rock rising star RinRin add another chapter to her dystopian world with new the angsty new single im sad lol.
The new year introduced a new era for RinRin, and im sad lol is the second offering in the new narrative, and the second in a string of fantasy-fuelled releases. Previous single PRN explored a dystopian and fictional story of Rin, based on real life – a multiverse where ‘variants’ of RinRin reside in alternate worlds, leading different lives that reflect real feelings.
im sad lol exists in a real and mundane space, introducing a Rin that struggles with social anxiety and depression. The song is about accepting that suffering is suffering, and there’s no need to compare or to feel the extremes to justify feeling “The Rin in the ‘im sad lol’ universe doesn’t speak up about her struggles, thinking it’s no big deal and isn’t worth validating compared to everyone’s troubles,” explains RinRin. “But the background characters in her world remind her that it’s okay to feel low, so she shouldn’t beat herself up over it.”
