What’s Trending: Nihilist Penguin meltdown vs. Taipei 101 thrill - What’s your mood today?

from Money Matters with Hongbin Jeong and Chua Tian Tian · host MONEY FM 89.3

Which internet mood meme are you today - the “Nihilist Penguin” who just wants to walk away from it all or the daredevil who climbs Taipei 101 without a rope? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong and Alexandra Parada break down two internet moods: the “Nihilist Penguin” meme and Alex Honnold’s Taipei 101 free solo climb. They explore how a penguin walking toward its own death became a symbol of modern anxiety and quiet quitting  and why audiences are equally captivated by a man scaling a 508-metre skyscraper without safety gear.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
