Ned and Meg kick off their convo with a discussion of how to piss off men, technofeudalism, sports!!, and the Hum. We talk about the AOMC faltering, how much Ned appreciates espresso over other forms of coffee, and whether or not one might stave off the inevitable loss of coffee through private cultivation. Thanks for listening, wash your hands, don't be a dick!

Ned and Meg talk about microgenres in art. We also discuss a new turn of phrase, aesthetic erosion, which Meg learned today. We follow the history of microgenres from the 1970s through to the contemporary digital world of art. We talk about all sorts of weird stuff in the process, including unfilmable books, online journaling, Yacht Rock, jewel theft, and whether we should apply color palettes to each of the microgenres we can find. Thanks for listening, wash your hands, don't be a dick!

Ned introduces Meg to the mini-genre of music and visual art called Vaporwave. If you grew up in the 1980s and 90s, you will immediately get the aesthetic, because it's digitally repackaged nostalgia for things from our youth, before they failed to deliver on their promises. Thanks for listening, listen to vaporwave, wash your hands, don't be a dick.
