This week Tim has an identity crisis over a bottle of Aldi wine. Melletios tries to be serious because he doesn’t know who Sabrina Carpenter is. *ha. In this episode, we define the generic as a product of industrial capitalism that evacuates desire through the normative. We discuss (Big Daddy) Freud’s palliative measures as a generic coping mechanism. In Part 1 we talk about Goodluck Babe and Chappell Roan as an example of the queer generic that plays on nostalgia to reveal the emptiness of straight desire. You can try to stop the world, but when you fail, we are here to say I told you so. Until Part 2 (when we talk about Sabrina) have another shot and try to stop the feeling. If you wake up in the middle of the night, put us on, and use us as your palliative, parasocial measure.
