Doomscroll 08: Matty Healy
🕑 Added 2024-12-04 11:00:08 +0000 UTCMy guest is musician Matty Healy of The 1975. He joins me to discuss internet culture and the strange aesthetics of our time. We explore the inspirations behind his work, including the writing of cultural theorist Mark Fisher. Matty describes the "slow cancellation of the future" by comparing distinct styles of pop music across various decades. Fisher links these cultural moments to larger economic shifts that are often felt but rarely seen.

They was fantastic. I kept wishing one of you would acknowledge “brain rot”, which is the literal, self professed culture of young people these days.

really cool when matty and josh ask, "can you think of another band besides the 1975 that makes 'art'" and then answers, "no the 1975 is really the only band in existence that makes 'art,' i truly cannot think of another, it is probably the only time millions of music fans will ever be exposed to "real" art" lfmaooooo
