Bang On triple j

It’s open season on open letters denouncing cancellation culture. But are the people calling the call outs just replicating what they’re fighting against? Yeezy season is well and truly upon us, with Kanye running for President. And we’re digging into the latest adaptation of High Fidelity, and what do we make of Hamilton on the small screen?

By popular demand, Eurovision host and expert Myf weighs in on Will Ferrell’s Eurovision movie "The Story of Fire Saga". While Zan bangs on about Mrs America. Kanye and Kim have had a big week of music, fashion, and Freesian horses, and we’re here for it. All of it.  And a “Ken and Karen” of Missouri are the pin ups of white privilege, and the source of many a meme. Speaking of the internet, various viral posts have us questioning truth, critical thinking, and where to from here, in this bin fire of a time. No wonder people are building nests to sleep in.

An investigation into sexual harassment at the highest levels of Australian law has us talking about the systemic abuse of power that women are subjected to every day. It’s the end of the road for the Segway, and the start of a new project by Beyonce. And an American comedian has made our week with her Barbie Quarantine Dreamhouse.

Can callout culture create actionable change? The removing and recontextualising of past problematic art is one thing, but we’re reminded to keep our foot on the pedal when there are some big issues at stake. A piece on 1997 fashion is a stretch (but of course we’ll take it), and a new podcast on Debutante Balls has us looking at this old tradition through a new lens.

The world is responding to call outs for change, with major publications, streaming services, and organisations taking responsibility for past practices and platforming, and also reassessing how they work differently into the future. TV shows are buried, statues of slave traders are toppled, while some are only just learning that Tom Morello’s rage isn’t against his dishwasher. JK Rowling has doubled down on her stance on trans women, causing Potterheads (not least recent fan Zan) to question their connection to her books. And Bang Boy has gone bush and shacked up with a Karen. Don’t worry, it’s better than it sounds.

The world is a very different place to where we left you more than eight months ago! And we’re catching up on what we’ve learned in this new “normal”. Following the killing of George Floyd, and protests in both America and Australia on racial injustice, the music industry this week responded with a blackout. But the confused messaging on social media has people wondering if these conversation will continue beyond the news cycle. And in this bin fire of a year, rest assured, Myf has found some farshun news to lift your spirits. Strawberry crocs anyone?
