Part 7/17:
One of the episode's core themes is the erosion of true underground scenes due to the internet and social media's influence. Serge reflects on how genuine underground music and subcultures—like punk, metal, and niche dance scenes—traditionally thrived on scarcity, DIY ethic, and physical distribution (vinyls, tapes, underground shows). Nowadays, anyone with a laptop can produce "underground" content, diluting its value and making it virtually impossible to distinguish authentic from manufactured.
