Abstract
In many of the articles of this open issue, questions about the future meanings of sound and society prevail.The answers involve not only critiques of presentism but also concerns of a present with no future.In the first article that appears, Kai Arne Hansen asks, "In what ways does pop music made and performed by children contribute to environmental debate?," and finds that young activists have been at the forefront of public discourse about anthropogenic climate change.The theme of childhood experiences is also picked up in an article by Luiz Costa-Lima Neto, which we now republish in a translation into English by Tom Moore.Costa-Lima Neto suggests that composer Hermeto Pascoal's theorization of "Som da Aura" was rooted in his early experiences of hearing the spoken voice as sung melody.Costa-Lima Neto notes that Pascoal relates atonal sounds such as conversations and "pigs, geese, turkeys, chickens, ducks" to the everyday world around him.He also offers an exploration of what it means not only to hear the meaning of sounds differently from others but to also find compositional approaches to bridge ways of listening with others (enjoyably, Neto's journey through various methodologies to explain Pascoal's approach to composition is equally novel in its experimentation.)Moving to genre studies, Benjamin Hillier and Ash Barnes explore the emergence of right-wing ideologies in the music and art of two Australian metal bands.They provide a historical backdrop for bands claiming to be apolitical; bands that suggest that they not be taken seriously whilst also portraying "alt-right," neo-Nazi sentiments.Further, Sergio Mazzanti's article addresses the Russian rock band, DDT, and offers some historical context for Russian music in his thinking through of self-quotation.He suggests in passing that Britney Spears isn't intertextual so I will be looking forward to heated (pub) debates with him over this matter when live conferences start back up.Thank you to Richard Osborne, our Reviews Editor, for a fantastic year securing book reviews for the journal.We appreciate all the authors who have contributed book reviews this year and we hope for more conversations to come through this medium in 2021 as we gear up for our forthcoming special issues on Indigenous popular music and crisis, respectively.As an unsolicited caveat, Marcel Fournier's

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
