ACFM Trip 56: The Mainstream
Manage episode 523085047 series 3034213
Jem, Nadia and Keir debate the meaning of ‘mainstream’ – something none of them could ever possibly be, of course.
Is ‘woke’ the new mainstream? Can there be a mainstream if we don’t all have access to the same culture? Is Tommy Robinson shifting the Overton Window? Why is nonconformity associated with coolness? And who engineers the ‘typical girl’? The gang answer these questions and more, with ideas from Raymond Williams and Perry Anderson, and music from Pulp and The Slits.
