Why Everything Feels the Same Now

Was there ever truly a "monoculture”? Or have we been telling ourselves a comforting story about past shared experience? We sit down with Tatiana Cirisano, VP of Music Strategy, MIDiA Research to unpack how we got from finale watch parties to infinite algorithmic feeds.

If culture is so fragmented, why does everything online look, sound, and feel the same?

We did more into the great cultural collapse, and whether live events are the last water-cooler moments standing.
