About this episode
What was the sound of 2025? It wasn't a single hit song, but a collection of sounds that moved from the background to the center of youth culture. We trace the soundtrack of a year through the adrenaline of blockbuster scores, the quirky loops of unboxing videos, and the hyper-catchy jingles from the streets. These sounds created a shared rhythm of hype, comfort, and memory. Together, they forged the unofficial anthems that defined a generation's experience. On the show: Steve, Niu Honglin & Yushan
