Sarah and Vic discuss the gap in understanding between older generations and Gen Z, and Social media, via first-person concerns gathered anonymously from college students, listeners, and viral artists.  

Topics include:

What happens when the gatekeepers try to jump on the bandwagon

Trusting your creative “gut” over trends and views

What happens if you hit it big and fall off?

Do views and aesthetic decide the quality of the content?

Speed VS. Quality 

Gen Z doesn’t give a fuck about your status quo - the standard was never for us

How old structures like labels can hold you back in the age of viral content

Overexposure and how the industry corrects

Authenticity is king - and Gen Z can spot it better than anybody 

Scandals, cancel culture, and post Me Too accountability

The pressure to be famous and always have a take

Is the next phase of the tech age no tech?

Viral content, evolving trends, and societal “correctness”

The importance of mental health and having to face our faults

How seemingly small social trends influence world events
