Modernity has failed us is a theme throughout the song called Love It If We Made It. Matty Healy believes that modernity has failed society— and in many ways he is right. Each statement in the first verse would fall under the viewpoints of Modern Philosophy.

Conversely, the lines in the second verse are more in line with Postmodernism. The third verse doesn’t seem relatable to either school of thought, but may simply be an all-too-real reflection of society’s failing state, i.e. where Modernity has lead us. Or it could be interpreted as social commentary on modern societal issues of over-reliance on technology.
