On this weeks episode we chat through the many conflicts of popular bands from the 1960's to 2024! There are plenty of popular groups that have highly publicised feuds, which impact the way fans view them and their music. Sometimes for the better, and other times for the worst. The music can get lost, lyrics interpreted differently, sound can change, or the publicity of it all overshadows the groups name and artistry.
We dive into acts such as The Temptations, The Supremes, Nsync, Pussycat Dolls, Sugababes, Spice Girls, Destiny's Child, Take That, One Direction, The Saturdays, Danity Kane, The Wanted, Little Mix and so much more.

We are joined by music blogger and enthusiast, Reina from @vibeswithreinaa to reflect on the 'Social Stereotypes in Music Culture'. This was quite a broad topic to dive into, and the conversation took all three of us to different places. We all have preconceived perceptions of different genres, especially the ones we are less familiar with. These stereotypes can also reflect the broader view we have as a society, such as race, class, gender, sexuality and lifestyle. Have these influences impacted the way we digest music?
Topics include:
- Have black people adopted the 'stiff upper lip' attitude at music events?
- Reina's beginnings in her love for music people wouldn't expect her to listen to
- Alex finding solace growing up as a queer man in Pop music, whilst feeling isolated from black-inspired sounds
- Topsy thinks back to her love of Rock music and what it means to her
- Do we dress accordingly to concerts/events that play certain types of genres?
- The queer agenda & gay baiting from big male artists
- The downfall of Diddy
We also share songs we're listening at the moment! Muni Long, Asake, KAYTRANADA, Cleo Sol, and more. Tune in!!!
