Is Tik Tok Ruining the Way We Listen to Music?

Is Tik Tok ruining the way we listen to music? From over-edited music clips to toxic parasocial fanbases, we’re already feeling the way we interact with music and artists change through the pervasive medium of short-form media. In this episode, Vivian Njoroge, Jadon Frank, Praghna Hemadri, Elina Perera, Akshat Yadav, and Nora Gillet discuss just that—are we getting worse, or are times simply changing?

Hosted by Vivian Njoroge by Jadon Frank.
