In this episode, we go back to a time when discovering new music wasn’t as simple as opening an app—it was a full cultural experience. We’re talking Walkmans on the school bus, waiting hours for your favorite song to play on TV music channels, and the absolute social currency of having the perfect MySpace profile track.
We dive into the early days of MSN and BBM, where your status message doubled as your emotional soundtrack and friendships were tested over who had the newest leaked song. And of course, we revisit the early YouTube era—where videos like Justin Bieber’s “One Time” and Rebecca Black’s “Friday” didn’t just go viral, they shaped a generation’s sense of humor, taste, and nostalgia... don't forget Skepta's "All Over the House"....!!!
Join us as we break down the social culture around music before TikTok trends ruled everything—when discovery felt personal, sharing felt meaningful, and the internet felt like a frontier rather than a feed.
