The music fades, the languages die, and we wait for the hard reset

Corrupt adults from Ikebukuro

We open on the aftermath of a chaotic club night — buying tickets for the wrong event, getting trapped in nosebleed sections, and realizing the entire system is a ploy to sell overpriced alcohol and squeeze value from naive attendees.

We talk about the scam of modern VIP culture, how clubs manipulate perceived scarcity, and how even when you “pay” you still get fenced off unless you're a designated big spender.

We reflect on how even Charlotte De Witte’s opener felt forced — not art for its own sake, but pure functionalism, designed to heat the room without letting it burn.

From there, we spin off into the future of language: whether English will survive as a global standard or devolve into broken offshoots like Singlish. We wonder if Mandarin’s deeper continuity gives it a survival advantage, and whether 200 years from now Victorian English will feel closer to us than whatever mutant pidgins emerge.

We dig into how the phonograph ruined music by separating sound from performance, and how modern clubbing — drowning in seas of raised smartphones — feels like an endless archive nobody will ever watch.

That leads into a bigger meditation on hoarding — from endless video archives to thousands of complaint tablets in Mesopotamia. Humans have always been obsessed with recording everything, even if most of it ends up meaningless.

We laugh about the irony of modern data storage: theoretically limitless, but fragile as hell. One Carrington Event-level solar flare and it's all gone. Maybe that's what we need: a hard reset.

Finally, we touch on decaying media, dying DVDs, the illusory safety of prepping, and how building endless bunkers of "memories" won't save anyone if there's no meaning in the first place.
