Dr. Zemke opens the door into the tight community of the Juggalo. Once a niche subculture boasting 20,000 strong festivals and their own brand of soda, now a smaller presence still exhibiting influence on mainstream rap. But who is the 'juggalo'? Is it... all of us?

This morning we're talking Math Rock, Dr. Kirsten Zemke's here to educate us and find a facet of music that will shock the listeners. Unfortunately for Kirsten, the listeners are very familiar with this genre, from Don Caballero's Fire Back About Your New Baby's Sex, to Giraffes? Giraffes!'s When The Catholic Girls Go Camping, the Nicotine Vampires Rule Supreme, and Hella's Biblical Violence.

Dr. Kirsten Zemke compares City Pop to Yacht Rock in it's catchy, uplifting style. Miki Matsubara's 真夜中のドア / Stay with me, Makoto Matushita's First Light, and Lucky Tapes' レイディ・ブルース. The songs say it all.

A genre that Dr. Kirsten Zemke describes as a blimp on the music radar, Romo, is polarising in the internet world but we're pretty fond of it here on Breakfast. Featuring in a small selection of recorded music on Sexus's Longing Without Belonging, David Devant and His Spirit Wife's Ginger, and Orlando's Just For a Second.
