Dense Caption

Four identical quadrants display red pixelated text reading "IF U WANNA IF U WANNA SHINE U GOTTA GLOW FIRST" against a blue-to-light-blue radial gradient background. Each quadrant contains the same phrase, stacked vertically: first line "IF U WANNA", second line "SHINE", third line "U GOTTA", fourth line "GLOW FIRST". The text uses a blocky, low-resolution font typical of early digital graphics. All four quadrants are visually identical with no discernible differences between them.
