e.g.

'consumer rap', you would talk about Komninos's effective use of the rap genre to appeal to the contemporary audience and the didactic tone of the poem "you've gotta ask questions" to educate the audience and using language of consumerism such as "ask choice info line" as the audience should be aware as a consumer in their way of living.

'the girls', the shock at the last line "to throw up in" provides a succinct evaluation of alcohol abuse which contradicts body image and is ultimately unexpected.

The rhyme in 'eat'
"
the egg diet
the rice diet
the eat all you liek diet
the don't eat at all diet".

Mocks his parents and makes them sound ridiculous using listing.

It's performance poetry look at the lack of punctuation in his poems too.
