The underground auteur self‑directs her latest dark‑wave vision as “Mean Girled” dives into petty drama, party chaos, and her inconvenient sense of justice.
Rare DM is our Featured Site Takeover artist on INYIM Media right now — spotlighted across the site for her previous single “Compliment.” A recurring muse in our universe, her shadow‑synth world has shaped the aesthetic pulse of more than a few of our late‑night features.
Rare DM turns petty drama into a darkwave dance-floor confession
“Mean Girled” glows in that perfect after-midnight zone: synth shadows, wounded wit, ferry-ride visuals, and a hook that makes overthinking sound almost glamorous.

Rare DM, aka Erin Hoagg, has churned out another singular, slow‑burning dark‑wave jammer, steeped in her signature blend of emotional grit and neon‑lit melancholy.
The track is a swirl of petty drama, one big party, and the kind of internal monologue only Rare DM can turn into a dance‑floor confession. “Mean Girled” is inspired by her rumination — against her will — driven by what she’s been told is her “ever‑present & very inconvenient strong sense of justice.”
It’s the kind of line that only Rare DM could deliver: sharp, self‑aware, and wrapped in a synth‑soaked smirk.
And once again, she proves why she remains one of INYIM’s newest most quietly magnetic recurring characters — a true underground auteur shaping her own universe, one shadow‑pop anthem at a time.
