  • We built this city: music
    Jun 3 2025

    What's on your favourites playlist? Is it the same as what was on your mixed tape in 1985? In this episode, we explore the evolution of music preferences from teenage years to adulthood, discussing how personal tastes are shaped by peer influence, parental guidance, and the changing landscape of music consumption. We talk lyrics versus beats, the role of streaming services in discovering new music, and generational differences (and similarities) in music appreciation - spoiler alert, we like a lot of the same songs and they're not all "vintage!" We also talk controversial artists, artists we love (and don't), gross lyrics, and the subjective nature of music. We come from a long line of (sometimes questionable) music lovers and we've exploded our playlist to prove it. Start listening here and please enjoy responsibly! Some of those lyrics are, um, NSFW!

    May 22 2025

    In this episode of the XYZ Podcast, hosts Mel and Sev explore the theme of permanence, particularly in relation to generational differences in perspectives on ownership and consumption. We discuss the importance of physical items versus digital access, the rise of subscription services and fast fashion. Our conversation also touches on nostalgia and the value of personal keepsakes, highlighting how these themes resonate differently across generations.
