The Pop Corporation

We really like the message behind the new single from Sports Team. A lot of songs keep their messages coded, but ‘Sensible’ is not one of those songs, ripping into self-help nonsense that blights us right now.

Rob Knaggs says the new track is “about the myth of betterment. ‘Go to the gym. Get ripped! Get rich! Get ahead!’ I think being young now, it feels like you’re trapped in someone else’s nostalgia. Primed. Groomed. Glistening with youth and vigor. What for? Staving off the grim reaper with Haeckels face creams and expensive candles. Adopting the aesthetic of liberalism while running an air bnb empire, flying 10 times a year and working for Helsing AI.”

Fucking excellent message that.
