In this episode, The Bewildered Herd dares to hit shuffle on the cultural jukebox, crafting a playlist that’s equal parts banger and existential crisis. We ask: is music still powerful, or just background noise for late-stage capitalism? Are today’s artists the shepherds of thought—or just glittered-up sheep bleating in tune? From algorithmic pop to basement tapes, we dig into the state of music today, poking at the bloated mainstream and sniffing around the edges of the underground.
