"Flashback" by HIGHSPEED ft. KNALLTRAUMA is more than a seasonal rap track; it is a nostalgic exploration of the German fireworks subculture, framing the act of lighting pyrotechnics as a lifelong passion and a form of identity. Released in late 2017 on the Highspeedfireworks YouTube channel , the song serves as a cultural anthem for the "Pyro" community during the New Year's Eve season. Themes of Identity and Nostalgia
The lyrics explicitly contrast the artist's childhood with that of others, stating he "always wanted to be a Pyro and not an Emo," and that he played with "Kevin-firecrackers instead of Legos". This establishes firework culture as a core pillar of his developmental identity. Flashback - HIGHSPEED ft. KNALLTRAUMA - Feuerwerksrap 2017
