Why nothing feels the same anymore...

About this episode

The episode explores feelings of alienation and disenfranchisement within metal and other subcultures, discussing various factors contributing to these sentiments.

Following on from last weeks 'Why old metal hates new metal' podcast, we take it a bit further this week, could be metal could be any old subculture to be honest, what are the reasons we feel alienated, detached and disenfranchised? From cities being too expensive for artists to live in to venues closing down, the death of the record shop to the redundancy of the recording studio and rehearsal room....where you once learned a craft.
