Quinn often makes music that approaches rap music with a fusion of electronic/underground rap influences (such as 100 gecs, Sybyr, Bladee, and others), and up-pitched “nightcore” vocals.
On February 25, 2020, Quinn would officially release her music onto all platforms after only releasing music on her SoundCloud page for multiple years. The first song she would upload to all platforms was "a punk song about sobriety and paranoia."
Throughout early 2020, she would release two EPs, a night in virginia and bleh.
As of April 7, 2021, Quinn announced that she retired the "osquinn" musical project. She then moved onto her new drum and bass project, cat mother.
On September 17, 2021, Quinn seemingly came out of retirement with the release of her debut album, drive-by lullabies.
Not even a month later, on October 8, 2021, she would release an instrumental EP titled i'm definitely getting sued for this (beat tape no.1).
She is currently at work on her second full-length album the worst album you’ve ever heard (side a) / renovation tapes vol. 1. It was originally scheduled for release on December 15, 2021, her birthday, however it was pushed back to a currently unknown date.
Bad Idea
p4rkr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm still trapped and I can't work, I'm too distracted
Saw your tweet and took some action, bad idea
I'm attractive, though my Insta is inactive
But my fan base growin' massive, I'm still here
I don't listen, when I do, don't pay attention
'Cause I may not be attentive, so stay clear
I'm too lazy, I can't even shed a tear
Never happy, everybody's staring at me
I'm always the bad guy, but I'm used to it
Throw dirt on me like I was some fuckin' zombie
While I'm screamin', no one hears my cries of fear
I'm still trapped and I can't work, I'm too distracted
Saw your tweet and took some action, bad idea
Ba-bad idea
The lyrics of p4rkr's song "Bad Idea" paint a picture of a musician who is struggling to focus on their work, while dealing with the pressure of their growing fanbase and the constant criticism of being the "bad guy". They regretfully admit that they are not attentive and often distracted, leading to close to nothing getting done. Even though they are aware of their lack of productivity, they cannot seem to motivate themselves to work. They mention being too lazy to even shed a tear, indicating a deeper sense of apathy and emotional detachment.
Despite feeling trapped and discouraged, the musician decides to take action after seeing a tweet. However, they refer to this decision as a "bad idea" and it is unclear what action they took. This could suggest impulsiveness and a tendency to make impulsive decisions without fully considering the consequences.
Overall, "Bad Idea" captures the struggle of an artist who is dealing with the pressure of their growing success and dealing with personal challenges that affect their productivity and focus. The line "Throw dirt on me like I was some fuckin' zombie, while I'm screaming, no one hears my cries of fear" expresses the feeling of being powerless and ignored despite being in the public eye.
