Episode description

Most of us are stuck. Stuck in the same playlist, the same three artists, the same songs we discovered in high school. And the algorithm isn't helping, 70% of music consumption comes from titles older than 18 months. So Romain brings the question to the table: how do you actually get people to leave their taste bubble? Joined by friend and digital creator Luke Yun, the crew digs into why taste is so hard to shake — comfort, identity, social pressure, and the three-second skip culture that's rewiring how we even listen. They get into mood-based playlists, listening rooms, "normal people" music reviews, and whether the sociology of taste formation is the real thing nobody's cracking. Spoiler: they don't crack it. But they get close enough to make you want to go listen to something you've never heard before.
