On this week’s episode, Maddie Majikas and Ethan Cohen are deep diving into the never-ending sea of cancel culture in the music industry. What started as a way to hold celebrities accountable for racist, misogynistic, or overall distasteful actions has spiraled into a phrase with seemingly no impact.

In this episode we dissected three examples of cancel culture within the last year: Lizzy McAlpine’s controversial decision to tour with John Mayer, Chloe Baliey’s collaboration with Chris Brown, and Morgan Wallen’s racist language caught on video. We aim to understand these situations from a consumer’s perspective and as PR professionals.
