Across the schools of thought analyzed, the highest verdict for "Fortune Days X We Can Make the World Stop (revision) - The Glitch Mob" is Caution (2/5).

Is Fortune Days X We Can Make the World Stop (revision) - The Glitch Mob halal according to Sistani?

Haram (1/5). The musical tune type of this electronic glitch-hop track is highly energetic, featuring synthetic bass drops and driving beats. An expert in these matters would easily distinguish this tune type as being suitable for, and similar to those used in, modern entertainment and amusement gatherings (such as clubs, raves, and dance festivals). Under Ayatollah Sistani's framework, the psychological effect (whether it actually excites the listener or not) is irrelevant; the sole criterion is the suitability of the tune type for entertainment gatherings. Because the tune type itself is suitable for such gatherings, it is forbidden to listen to.

Is Fortune Days X We Can Make the World Stop (revision) - The Glitch Mob halal according to Khamenei?

Likely Haram (2/5). The track is an intense electronic glitch-hop piece with heavy, driving beats and synthetic drops. While it lacks explicit vulgarity or haram lyrical themes, its musical structure is highly reminiscent of electronic dance music (EDM) designed for raves and dance clubs (gatherings of amusement and vanity). Under Ayatollah Khamenei's framework, music is forbidden if it is lahwī (deviating from the path of Allah) and mutrib (exciting/rapture-producing). Because its high-energy, dance-inducing rhythm has a strong potential to create a state of lahw (carelessness/forgetfulness of God) and falls under the category of music that induces dancing, its overall character leans toward being lahwī.
