If you are a Pitchfork queen, STOP reading NOW. Music skeptic Matt Whitaker joins Sam and George to investigate why bands kind of fell off after 2010. George and Sam both recount their surprising band-adjacent pasts before addressing the following questions: Does Haim count as a band even though they're sisters? Why is it "boy band" but then "girl GROUP"? Why do some solo performers have names that sound like bands? Do little machines that go "beep boop" count as instruments? Plus: A new pop girlie enters the conversation, and everyone temporarily forgets how to string together words.
