About this listen
Why does everyone lose their collective mind when Christmas music shows up “too early”? In this episode, we dig into the folk social control behind holiday soundtracks: How communities quietly regulate behavior with nothing but side-eye, shared expectations, and a deep fear of low-effort Christmas covers. From nose-picking norms to unspoken rules of public space, we explore why boundaries like this exist and how folklore keeps them in place… even against the full power of the corporations’ fake “holiday cheer.”
Sidenote: A "fortnight" is an old-timey way of saying "two weeks." It's often used to indicate an indeterminate time in the future, as in "Call on me again in a fortnight." Incidentally, it is correctly spelled the way I spelled it. I, for one, would be super embarrassed if I started a major franchise using the term but I spelled it incorrectly.
