#240 - Sh*tpost Modernism | News with Nick | “Bangers & Mashups” VIII

Jay has a special public service announcement for anyone over the age of 35 about music the kids are listening to these days. Inspired by a Pitchfork article, titled “The Musical Age of Shitpost Modernism,” details ‘a new frontier of profane genius that walks the tightrope between cringe and cool.' Chock full of pop-culture references and inside jokes, this is absurdist music made by and for Gen Alpha.Songs: AgusFortnite2008 - “Dos Jeans”real wayne - ‘Sticking Out Your Gyat For the Rizzler’Oddwyn - “KRUSTY KREW ANTHEM”St Mercator - “Da Biggest Bird”Jay Foster - “Weird Liars”Get ready for it, it’s News with Nick!

Nick closes out with an impressive piece of legislation proposed by Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Jamaal Bowman that proposes adding a $4 to $10 tax to streaming services. The Artist Compensation Royalty Fund would guarantee all artists 1cent per stream for the first million streams a month and then equally distribute the proceeds to all artists after the first million streams.Song: King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - “The Wheel”Finally, Greg concludes the episode with Vol. 8 of “Bangers & Mashups.” It’s all DJ Cummerbund, baby!Songs:DJ Cummerbund - “Dolphin’s May”DJ Cummerbund - “Wake Me Up Before You Go to Rehab”DJ Cummerbund - “Can’t Stop the Distance”
