Alysa Liu's Joyful Nihilism, A Spiritual Lorde Experience and Manon Splits From Katseye
Our spiritual Lorde experience, Manon splits from Katseye, and how figure skater Alysa Liu’s Gold Medal win is shifting culture. PSA: There may be some tinny audio in today's episode. We're working on a solution asap for you! We recount Lorde's Melbourne tour and, in pop culture news, Manon Bannerman is taking a “hiatus” from global girl group, Katseye, for “health and wellbeing” reasons. US figure skater Alysa Liu has taken over our feeds (and our hearts) after winning gold in figure skating at the Winter Olympics. But it's not just her medal that's making headlines. We discuss the rise of Gen Z play and nihilism that Alysa is inadvertently championing. Jas references a Substack by Gael Aitor titled ' The Rise of Play Among Youth Culture ' and an Instagram account titled The Career Archetypes .
