In November last year, Kieran and I joined Argentine critics Pablo Schanton and Antonia Kon to discuss music writing and music's future as part of the 20th Anniversary celebrations for the Buenos Aires publisher Caja Negra. It was framed as "old farts" (me + Schanton) versus "brainrots" (K and Kon) and as "the sitcom of ideas". We touched on everything from ASMR to AI, doomscrolling to meta-genre madness.
The flickering ever-moving backdrop you can glimpse behind us is a patchwork projection of music+meme matter assembled by Schanton + Kon.
