"I would watch videos from acts like Soundgarden and Nirvana and pretend to be a rock star, even breaking my bed a few times."
It was acts like NERD, Jay-Z, The Diplomats, Outcast, Jamiroquai, Lupe Fiasco and Kid Cudi that influenced the band the most, Oxymorrons vocalist Deee added. "They inspired us to be ourselves."
It's that "real New York braggadocious shit that our city is known for," Oxymorrons said when Loudwire premiered their track "Green Vision" in 2021.

Rock has evolved but it's here to stay and so are we! Get used to it!"
