I am not sure how to read this. Is it a reference to something in particular ? are the two interlaced texts happening in parallel ? what is the link between a radio announcement and killing dogs in a nursery ?
it's very common for radio personalities to be like "THIS IS THE REAL STATION FOR HARD ALT CLASSICS, KEEP YOUR GRANDMA AWAY!" and then play the same 200 song playlist as every other station because radio has been captured by iHeartMedia and homogenized to hell and back.
iHeartMedia plays artists that they own, either record contract or catalogue.
When I lived in the UK my local gym always had the same shitty radio station on and I was like "Why do they keep playing these artists? I almost never hear them on BBC" and it turned out to be because the owners of the radio station also owned those artists. Vertical integration baby!
I'm grateful every day that my rock station is independent, and they still play Black Sabbath and Tool and whatnot. It's still pretty repetitive, but that's because there's not a ton of new rock music.
There is an absolutely insane amount of new rock music. More rock music is being made today than ever before in the history of music.
So greentext is usually used like quotation marks or asterisks to denote roleplaying. Here it's being used to denote a soundboard like radio DJ's use.
The reference is to American classical rock stations that use very aggressive sound bumpers but play very milktoast music, usually the same 40 songs since the 80's
I think milquetoast is the word you want; milktoast is phonetically correct but that spelling refers to a breakfast dish.
Please tell me that "milktoast" isn't something that people eat.
my stepdad used to tear up bread and eat it in milk like cereal. I've seen some shit
