“I am shocked that this is a New York Times production because clearly the audience is only for people deeply interested and invested in the intricacies of the pop world and the internet.
I’m 34, so I’m technically a millenial, and I’m very interested in music and culture, though typically more alternative than pop. I have no idea what the people on this podcast are talking about half the time and it makes it almost unlistenable.
For example, the latest episode is on stanning and clap back culture. I didn’t know what either of those things were and they were never explained so it took several minutes of confusion and inference to figure it out, meanwhile they have moved on to talking about Stan armies by name without mentioning the celeb they are a fan of until 20 minutes later.
Maybe this podcast isn’t aimed at people like me, but it’s frustrating because clearly the hosts have a diverse, thoughtful, and educated view of pop and I would love to hear their opinions if only they’d take the time to start with the basics and go from there.”
