Flock Talk with the Femme Flock

Episode 16: The Flock Talks Gen Z in the Jam Scene

Season 1 Episode 16

This episode, we’re flipping the script and hearing straight from the next generation of jam band lovers. Leighton sits down with two fellow Gen Z’ers, Anna Parks & Alex Corey, to explore what it really means to come of age in a scene often dominated by older crowds and deep-cut gatekeeping.

From early memories of Phish and Widespread Panic to discovering Goose and chasing that New Year’s Eve show magic, Anna & Alex share the origin stories behind their love for the jam, their favorite show moments, most hilarious crowd encounters, and why they keep coming back for more.

We get into the pros and cons of social media in the jam world, the balance between tradition and Gen Z’s fresh spin, and what it feels like to be underestimated from an age and gender standpoint — and then prove everyone wrong once the music starts.

Whether you're a lifelong head, jam-curious, or taking a break from tour, this convo proves the jam scene’s spirit is alive and well — and the kids are more than all right.
