Summary:

"We're living in a mid-ocracy. Today, culture is algorithmically optimised for mass appeal, serving up platters of pre-packaged cool - whether that's a Deftones tee, a Fred Again mix or a wavy mirror via your Instagram explore page. On this episode, we're joined by Shumon Basar, the co-author of two books, The Age Of Earthquakes and The Extreme Self, and the author of recent essays on lorecore and endcore, to discuss why everything suddenly feels so... mid."-- provided by distributor.
