The Ubiquity of Logos: A Satirical Take on Modern Consumerism

Kevin Johansen's song 'Logo' is a satirical commentary on the pervasive presence of branding and logos in contemporary society. The repetitive chorus, 'Generation Logo...

This repetition emphasizes how deeply embedded branding has become in our daily lives, to the point where it seems inescapable.

The song also delves into the cultural and emotional impact of this branding obsession.
