Composition
"Interweb" is an electro-infused[1] new wave[2] and 1990s-inspired EDM[3] song with a length of three minutes and forty nine seconds. It moves at a tempo of 114 beats per minute in a 4/4 time signature.[4] The song's instrumentation features a basic house beat and a disco bassline.[3] The song features "internet-obsessive" lyrics.[1]
Critical reception
Benjamin Groff of We Are The Guard wrote that the song "is a mockery of Taylor Swift Illuminati conspiracy theories, as well as bleaker, sadder realities - the isolation, depression, and searching common to so many of us."[3] Jake Visnawath of Paper wrote that "Poppy seems to own her possessive powers for the first time in the track."[5] Golden Boy Press wrote that the character of Poppy "doesn't disappear even when she sings, she keeps it going in a way that's new, fresh, and interesting."[6]
