The Rasmus’s “Weirdo” feels like a perfectly manicured middle finger to anyone who ever told them to blend in. It’s moody, cinematic, and just catchy enough to make you forget you’re supposed to be sad. Lauri Ylönen sounds like he’s narrating a Tim Burton fever dream, and honestly, we’d watch that movie.
It’s a love letter to the outsiders — part anthem, part inside joke. “Weirdo” proves The Rasmus still wear their eyeliner with pride and play their guitars like it’s 2003 in the best possible way.
