The Internet’s Black Emo Renaissance

On today’s episode, Rachelle Hampton is joined by Slate’s Nadira
Goffe to discuss Rihanna and Paramore. First, they talk about the
Super Bowl halftime show and the discourse that Rihanna sparked,
and what she does or doesn’t owe her fans. Then, they look at the
new album from Paramore, This Is Why, discusses how the band
respects and embraces Black culture, and why Black people feel so
connected to the pop punk genre. And don’t miss Rachelle and
Nadira’s roundtable discussion with Allegra Frank about Paramore’s
latest album. This podcast is produced by Daniel Schroeder,
Rachelle Hampton, and Daisy Rosario. Subscribe to Slate Plus at
