Text is arranged in five lines: 'why be' on first line, 'NORMAL' on second line, 'when you' on third line, 'can be' on fourth line, 'ME?!!' on fifth line. Text uses a blocky, low-resolution font typical of early digital graphics. Red circles are scattered across the background, some overlapping text.
