Dan Boeckner (of Wolf Parade) and Lex Walton are here for a roundup of the grim state of the music industry. We discuss the various nepo babies and heiresses crowding out the field, the rise and proliferation of AI music, and the ugly end of millennial hipsterdom with the shuttering of several indie music publications.
