Gen-Z Rock Philosophy and Psychedelic Onomatopoeia

Five Songs is a weekly series for paid Hearing Things subscribers in which we each choose a new song we like—or don't!—and write about why it has our attention.


We've got an especially hot lineup this week. Searing raps about reparations for swagger-jacking, a dizzying satirical trip through the worst of the peak indie era, viral snap music that scales psychedelic heights of onomatopoeic dirty talk, and two different songs that had our writers wondering independently: was the whole thing a dream?

no pressure whatsoever
