🎶 A Musical Ouroboros - how the Hottest 100 both reflects and encourages the empowerment of Australian youth. For 30 years, triple j's Hottest 100 has been Australia's go-to countdown for the year's top songs. Beyond mere entertainment, it's a reflection of youth sentiment. In the past, it echoed Gen X rebellion with bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Today, it's a diverse tapestry showcasing female artists, LGBTQ+ voices, and people of colour, mirroring a generational shift. This countdown isn't just about music; it's a space where young Aussies steer the conversation. Their votes drive the event's success, inadvertently giving them a platform and a voice in shaping cultural dialogue. Bookings are essential with a gold coin for entry.
