Friend of the show Yeerk. P joins the show and..... this is a weird conversation to summarize. It started with a thread that Yeerk posited about his belief that techno is a form of hard rock. This led to much discussion about genre, genre codification, the nature of art in late modernity, the persistence of wiggerdom, nu-metal, noise's absorption into broader pop music tendencies, David Lynch, and Antifa's hatred of art. Listen and enjoy, motherfuckers!
