What Is Selling Out? A History of Sell Outs, How Turnstile is Expanding Hardcore, and Why Community Matters
Saison 5 · Épisode 3
mardi 8 juillet 2025 • Durée 01:08:38
Bands throughout history have been labeled as “sellouts,” from Bob Dylan and Metallica to Black Flag and Nirvana. We’re taking a closer look at what selling out even is.
“Selling out” has meant different things to different eras of music – adopting a new audience, going outside the bounds of your genre, giving up your artistic voice for a paycheck, or playing bigger stages with higher ticket prices, are all things that can mark you as a “sellout.”
In the year 2025, we’re still having this conversation – the latest victim of sellout allegations is Turnstile.
Since their inception in the Baltimore hardcore scene more than a decade ago, the band has always pushed the boundaries of what hardcore is – sonically, lyrically, and visually. Turnstile’s 2021 studio album, Glow On, shot them to new heights and new audiences, garnering conversation about the band getting “too big.” And in this situation, “too big” kind of means, “more accessible to your not-so-average hardcore” listener, AKA girlies… and after a 4-year break and much anticipation, Turnstile returned with the release of Never Enough this June, and boy did the people have opinions; Internet critics are running wild, saying the album is full of skip tracks and that they’ve sold out. But why does a band expanding their sound = selling out?

This week on Name 3 Songs
Fangirl Nonsense is taking us to Glastonbury festival, looking at The 1975's incredible headline set, Paul Mescal making out with Gracie Abrams, Louis Tomlinson allegedly liking a Larry Stylinson Reel, and multiple acts speaking out for the people of Palestine. We're also having a brief discussion on Benson Boone's surprising Billboard number 2 debut for his weird sophomore album.
Then we're talkg to Atlantic writer and Pulitzer Prize finalist Sophie Gilbert who wrote an incredible book called GIRL ON GIRL: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves, the book pulls back the curtain on the ways in which pop culture let our girls down, and points us toward a new way forward, one in which girls can re-envision what they are capable of, how they view each other, and possess the tools and media literacy with which to question the messages they’re bombarded with. Please let me know if you would like to receive a galley, and I very much hope you will keep this book in mind for your spring coverage.

The Loss of Liam Payne + Replay of Grieving As a Fangirl: From Death to Disbandment
Saison 4 · Épisode 34
mercredi 30 octobre 2024 • Durée 01:38:27
We thought it would be helpful, after the tragic loss of Liam Payne, to have a brief discussion about how we're feeling in regards to this loss and also give y'all a replay of our 2022 episode about grieving as a fangirl. We will be discussing the heinous way the press handled the loss of Liam in an episode soon.
"Grief is a complex state of being, one that takes a person through an array of emotions from anger to sadness to acceptance and everything in between. Grieving can feel incredibly personal, and as a fangirl, the outside world judges you when you’re celebrating, so when you’re grieving it’s a whole other ballpark. So what does grieving look like as a fangirl, especially when you’re dealing with everything from death to disbandment?
In this throwback episode, we’re heading back to university to get a crash course in the psychology behind grief, and how grieving doesn’t just belong to those who have a kinship to those who are lost. When music is what most of us rely on when we’re in times of mourning and dispair, it can be so much harder to deal with grieving as a fangirl when those in your inner circle don’t understand your loss. From the death of artists like Elvis, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse, and more to hiatuses that turn to disbandment, breakups that lead to comebacks, and bands who ghost their fans forever, we’re looking into it all this week!"

Maisy Kay gets candid about uniting her love of fantasy and video games with her music. In her music journey, Maisy has sung in 6 different languages included Latin and Na’vi (from Avatar).

Scooter Braun’s Clients Are Leaving + Fifty Fifty File Charges Against Agency
Saison 3 · Épisode 30
mercredi 23 août 2023 • Durée 01:22:41
This week on Name 3 Songs…
⚡ ️ Fangirl Nonsense: Swifities swarm Jack Antonoff’s wedding after Taylor Swift is paparazzied on Long Beach Island. Keke Palmer and Usher team up for “Boyfriend” music video shading Keke’s ex Darius Dalton who previously slut shamed Keke for what she wore to an Usher performance.
⚡ Jesse Rutherford from The Neighbourhood released a solo album that includes degrading lyrics about his relationships with Billie Eilish.
⚡Kpop girl group and hit sensation Fifty Fifty files charges against their agency ATTRAKT over financial issues and files to suspend their contract with the agency. This comes after ATTRAKT filed charges with creative group The Givers who produced their hit song “Cupid” and worked closely in managing the girl group during their debut. All of these legal matters have prevented Fifty Fifty from participating in promotions in the peak of their viral success. This harkens back to boy band history of the 90s and Lou Pearlman’s financial mismanagement of the Backstreet Boys.
⚡This week, rumors that Justin Bieber is leaving Scooter Braun as his manager circulated the internet. While those statements were quickly dismissed, Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande have been confirmed to leave Scooter’s SB Projects and seek other management. We discuss why each of these artists may have different reasons for leaving their longtime manager and why Scooter’s priorities may be shifting with his new position as CEO of HYBE America. We also discuss why everyone on the internet hates Scooter Braun and where Taylor Swift’s own feud stems from.

This comes just one year after their debut – could their exponential growth turn them into America’s favorite new girl group?
⚡Three backup dancers have filed a lawsuit against Lizzo with allegations relating to harassment in the work environment. This comes as a shock to fans and netizens, given Lizzo’s public persona and embodiment of positivity. We break down what has been said by the dancers and Lizzo in this ongoing case. We also discuss the cognitive dissonance that many music fans feel when an artist proves not to be the person we thought they were – and how we as fans choose to react and move forward.

Why The Barbie Movies' Feminism 101 Matters
Saison 3 · Épisode 27
mercredi 2 août 2023 • Durée 45:13
This week on Name 3 Songs…
⚡ ️ Fangirl Nonsense: Harry Styles has a tattoo of Olivia’s name on his thigh. Jungkook continues on his world wide promotions for “Seven.” Plus! We read out your votes from our Instagram polls including song of the summer and your thoughts on Zayn’s “Love Like This.”
⚡The Barbie movie’s feminism 101 is more important than most people are recognizing. We explore the ways in which the Barbie movie is a vehicle to spoon feed easy-to-understand feminism to the masses – many of whom haven’t been exposed to feminist theory or thought it did not apply to them. Barbie is making people think twice about how they’ve been negatively affected by the patriarchy. At a time when US politics are becoming more restrictive for women and minority groups, this movie might just be the Trojan horse we need to open some minds.

Doja Cat Lashes Out At Fans + The 1975 Banned From Malaysia
Saison 3 · Épisode 26
mercredi 26 juillet 2023 • Durée 52:01
⚡ ️ Love on Tour is over and Harry Styles shows gestures of gratitude and respect for fans in his closing speech. From the Barbie movie, Ryan Gosling gifts Ken’s guitar to Jimin of BTS for wearing the same outfit as the idol in the “Permission to Dance” music video.
⚡Doja Cat goes on a Twitter tirade against fans using the “Kittenz” fandom name, and says they need to “get a job.” This isn’t the first time Doja has berated fans. In 2022 she tweeted that “Planet Her and Hot Pink were cash-grabs, and y'all fell for it.” We discuss why Doja Cat might be a bad person, what that means for her career, and if listeners even care. This is in stark contrast to Jungkook of BTS who recently went live to talk about how he considers ARMY to be his best friends.
⚡The 1975 were banned from Malaysia after Matty Healy kissed Ross MacDonald on stage at Good Vibes festival over the weekend. This was preceded by a lengthy speech criticising the Malaysian government for its anti-LGBTQ+ policies. We discuss why Matty Healy’s actions are performative and harmful for Malaysian citizens, why Matty needs to check his privilege, and how to be a proper ally in this situation.
