Remember when we diagnosed the death of the 20-year nostalgia cycle? Well, plot twist: it gets weirder.

Part 2 of our excavation into why your playlist makes zero chronological sense dives into the truly unhinged stuff happening to an entire generation's brains.

We're talking about kids who get genuinely emotional over songs they discovered three months ago but feel like childhood memories. Artists who are literally competing with every banger ever recorded. And the psychological minefield of trying to pick what to listen to when you have access to... everything.

From teens developing fake nostalgia in real-time to the underground rebellion against Spotify's mind control, this episode explores how we're all just winging it in the broken time machine.

Spoiler alert: your playlist anxiety is valid and you're definitely not alone.
