Hannah and Maia dive into the history of the word, its sinister origins and the way it now bursts out of our mouths every time someone doesn't give us what we want, the moment we want it. Join us and extra special guest Rayne as we digress about the death of subcultures, the Supreme™ brick, the bouncer at Berghain, and the ever-overlooked qu∊∊f community!
