Link in Bio

There is a specific thinness to how Diet Cig builds a song — the drum kit sounds like it's being played in a closet, the guitar buzzes with the cheerful aggression of a fluorescent light that won't stop flickering, and everything sits just a little too loud in the mix in a way that feels completely intentional. "Link in Bio" rides that energy with Alex Luciano's voice front and center: conversational, slightly breathless, alternating between sincerity and a winking self-awareness that never tips into irony. The song is about the performance of self in digital space — the gap between the curated version you project outward and the person lying in bed at 2am refreshing a follower count. But it doesn't wallow. The punk pop chassis keeps it kinetic, the chorus arriving like a burst of nervous laughter. This is a song that belongs to the mid-2010s DIY underground — Bandcamp pages and basement shows and zines — and its cultural weight comes from treating the internet as emotional terrain worth taking seriously. You'd reach for this walking too fast through a city you're still figuring out, headphones in, performing composed confidence you don't quite feel yet.
