He also discusses today's culture and the recent response to the Residents' recent NFT campaign. Fans were quite upset at the band for their use of this new technology, which typically uses astounding levels of electricity and does not offer what fans perceive to be a real and tangible value. NFTs are a brand new technology, perceived by many to be a fad, and The Residents' NFT was backed by a carbon-neutral blockchain, which fans likely did not understand.
