Warning: some strong language.

We chat with freelance music journalist Jenessa Williams (NME, DIY, The Guardian) about music criticism in the digital age and the world of fandoms (as well as what we'd call our own stans - if we had any, obvs).

Music is the instrumental version of 'Sertraline Gang' by Trannieboi. Trannieboi is the abolitionist, queer, afro-futurist hyperpop brainchild of Jolliff Seville. As Trannieboi, he celebrates the multiplicity of Black, queer, disabled existence by transforming what is frightening – mania, trans homelessness, trauma, the immense difficulty of being a Black working artist – and making it an expression of joy.
