Why do bands choose to sing in their native language when it might limit their worldwide appeal? Is it a matter of authenticity, nationalism, or pride? Furthermore, why are many listeners hesitant to engage with lyrics in a language they don't understand, and why was Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance so controversial?


Join us as we discuss these topics and listen to Jason get irrationally mad about the appropriation of metal by those outside the community.
