Fantano vs. Halsey, Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fest & The Death of Music News

"A lot of news is just discourse. And I'm like, that's not news... News is when a band announces like a tour. That's news."  A massive portion of what is presented as "music news" today isn't actually news at all; it’s social media discourse. Through a mix of industry critique, and scene nostalgia Brian and Lizzie explore how stan culture and algorithmic metrics have fundamentally broken the way we talk about art. They dissect the sudden resurgence of the two-year-old drama between music critic Anthony Fantano and pop-alternative star Halsey. Is it a case of "main character syndrome," or a deeper look into the death of traditional music criticism? Plus, stick around to hear our thoughts on the latest music releases they're currently listening to.    JOIN THE CLUB! Youtube: https://emosocial.club/youtube Instagram: https://emosocial.club/instagram TikTok: https://emosocial.club/tiktok Twitch: https://emosocialclub.tv Discord: https://emosocial.club/discord Facebook: https://emosocial.club/facebook Twitter: https://emosocial.club/twitter Support the Show:Leave a review on Apple Podcasts/SpotifyShare this episode with a friend who needs to hear itSupport us and watch exclusive episodes: https://emosocialclub.tvIt was never just a phase.
