Fontaines D.C., Blindboy & Ireland’s Lost Generation | In the Modern World

Ireland’s housing crisis. The ghost of Dublin. The music of frustration. In this episode of The Last Mixed Tape, we dive into Fontaines D.C.’s “In The Modern World” and explore how it captures the voice of a generation let down by their country.With echoes of Gertrude Stein’s “Lost Generation”, this episode connects the cultural disillusionment of Hemingway and Joyce with Ireland’s own Generation Perdue, the artists and outsiders shaping our modern protest music.Featuring a key moment from Blindboy almost a decade ago, this is an exploration of art as identity in exile.00:00 Intro00:29 Blindboy 02:01 Gènération Perdue 04:17 Fontaines D.C In The Modern World09:46 Surviving 202511:28 Reflections20:30 Ghost Towns21:50 Your Comments?22:29 Outro
