So long.

You have seen, like, entirely different, like, multiverses from the 80s to 2026.

It's like every decade was almost like a different timeline.

So six decades, actually.

Six decades, yeah.

What format was that on?

But yeah, so I mean, can you help us make sense of, can you give us any perspective on this?

Like for 80s to 90s to the 2000s to now, like?

Right, so even you have found it difficult to parody what the hell's happening in 2026.

It's a little bit difficult, yeah.

So how do you approach it?

I mean, have you tried to, have you looked at the top 100 and tried to figure it out, or have you just given up on this, like, I'm just... Well, you'll notice I haven't put out an album for 12 years.

That's one clue.

So that's the mark of when society started disintegrating, was when... I give up!

Oh, so you're indie.

You became an indie artist.

I kind of am, yeah.

And I mean, people don't know the, maybe, probably they do know the full extent of what you do.

I mean, you do parodies, you do pastiches, which is where you kind of make fun of a genre of music.

Beach Boys or Taylor Swift, even.
