This is why you must subscribe to this podcast on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you consume fine podcasts. This is the Crushed Monocle Podcast: Episode 30 – POP IS DEAD!

In the monumental 30th episode of Crushed Monocle, Jon and Coop discuss the theory that POP IS DEAD.

Back in September, YouTube personality Jonny Harvey published a video sharing his thoughts on the current decline of Pop music, and by extension, the popstar in modern pop culture.  And while it’s a fascinating video where Mr. Harvey makes some great points, Jon and Coop have a hard time putting the blame solely on TikTok. In response to this video, the guys share their own opinions and offer an open invitation for Mr. Harvey to join in on a future episode, welcoming his rebuttal. By the way, please check out his YouTube channel, it’s great!

In addition to dishing whether or not pop is dead, Jon and Coop also talk about:

  • Super Mario Wonder is psychedelic goodness.
  • Coop’s love of everything Soul Step Records
  • Jon’s agreeing to do more recommendations
  • The under-development of modern artists.
  • Metallica and Taylor Swift are brands, not artists.
  • Why we shouldn’t exclusively blame Ticketmaster for greed

Most Importantly, Jon and Coop share their thoughts on why society needs to let teenagers be teenagers.
