Being bad feels pretty good, huh?

— The Breakfast Club  ·  1985

What it means

Our interpretation.

The question points to a contradiction between being bad and feeling good. It invites the listener to acknowledge pleasure in misbehaviour, with the casual “huh?” making that invitation personal. The words suggest shared recognition, though the exact act and the speaker's attitude depend on context.
