Do you still feel like wearing a piece of merch makes you a part of a specific subculture? Or has that sense of exclusivity and meaning been lost? This week, our host Otto Kent speaks to writer Claire Mouchmore about our shifting relationship with merch, and how that's changed along with the internet and the explosion of niche identities. Plus, we discuss new features on YouTube music, UK laws against spiking, and the nonrefundable fees paid by African and Asian artists when they apply for UK and EU visas.The Week is a production by Telekom Electronic Beats and ACB Stories.Host: OttO KentProducer: Aaron GonsherEdit and sound design: Marc ÜbelExecutive Producer: Isabel Woop Hosted on Acast.
