KPop Demon Hunters, or as Brittany's mom keeps mistakenly calling
it "Kidz Bop: It's the Devil," is dominating the music charts. And,
thank god! These bombastic bangers are a welcome reprieve after a
summer full of sad songs.

We need to talk about those bangers, but we also need to talk about
the void KPop Demon Hunters is filling. This summer was lacking a
true shiny, shimmering song of the summer. Where were the bops?
Where were the ubiquitous, undeniable culture uniting hits? It's
disappointing we don't have an anthem to point to – but it's also
telling.

Brittany sits down with Stephen Thompson, host for NPR Music and
co-host of Pop Culture Happy Hour, to discuss what we had instead
of songs of the summer – and what that tells us about how our
musical landscape has changed.
