Pop: Then & Now
from Rhythm on the Rocks
Frizz and Bob take a big-picture dive into Pop: Then and Now. Naturally, Bob pours some Old Grand-Dad Bonded, and Frizz downs a new glass of Johnnie Walker Black Ruby, as they unfold how we got from troubadours and Tin Pan Alley to MTV idols, Max Martin machines, and TikTok-engineered hooks for the FYP. They trace pop's constant reinvention through technology, Black innovation, and generational shifts, while taking a look at Sabrina Carpenter's new-stalgia, Taylor "Showgirl" Swift, and the way virality now shapes what's considered "success." It's a fast tour through pop's past, its present chaos, and a game so hard... you'd wish you wrote a whole song about it.
