In this Trip episode, Jem, Nadia and Keir debate the meaning of 'mainstream' – something none of them could ever possibly be, of course.
Is 'woke' the new 'mainstream'? Can there be a mainstream if we don't all have access to the same culture? Is Tommy Robinson shifting the Overton Window? Why is nonconformity associated with coolness? And who engineers the 'typical girl'? The gang answer these questions and more, with ideas from Raymond Williams and Perry Anderson and songs from Pulp and The Slits.
