Episode Synopsis

From TikTok to movies and from Harrison Butker to the Met Gala, Gen Z is taking to their keyboards in defense of what they think they're comprehending from these pop culture events. However, when context is missing, hyper-individualism abounds, and comprehension skills are lacking, we arrive at the intersection of cancel culture and rage. In this episode, Sonja unearths the erosion of media literacy, what it's doing to Gen Z's internet existence, and where it all started.
