4. My Teenage Catastrophe (feat. Sam Slankard)

Chris talks to former emo kid and current German resident Sam Slankard about catharsis, commercialization, and canceling people whose music means a lot. What bands will you never see in person and which songs will you always sing to drain your pent-up frustrations? Also, can emo culture really be that bad if there’s so much nostalgia for it? All of these questions (and more!) will be answered, even if no one can agree on the correct pronunciation of Deja Entendu. This episode is dedicated to Eddie Money.
