The TSOM panel inundate themselves with selections of the worst music recorded by young children (12 or less-ish). Borderline references abound in the episode and not just from the tracks themselves. Every type of music is covered here from 90s country to yodeling to late-stage R&B and yet we try to decipher what truly makes a child artist bad, not merely immature in their musical experience. Needless to say, TSOM has no shame in taking down these “yutes” a notch and giving them a good talking to.
