Are you heading to the beach this weekend?

This development appears to reflect the end of the post-pandemic employment frenzy that provided the most lucrative landscape of teen summer job hunters in over 50 years. Among other factors, experts point to the slower US labor markets in general and the economic uncertainty created by President Donald Trump’s tariffs and automation.

The BBC admitted that while the set was streaming online, it issued an on-screen warning due to the powerful language, but should have gone further. The lead vocalist for The Grime-Meets-Punk Rock group appears to be referring to the weekend performance in an Instagram post, writing, “I said what I said.”
