Track five on [*$WAMI$*](/albums/wami/), after [*Friends*](/songs/friends/)’s sincere pop gesture and before the Babidi features (*I Want Yu Yu*, *Smoke That Weed Like Scooby Doobie Doo*). **Romantic Capitalism** sits in the middle of the collage with a title that sounds like a thesis: affection and markets braided together, 2018 internet-brain humor before the anime theology takes over.

The LP is less a clean second chapter than a packet of recurring characters and joke titles. [Purple Melon](https://purplemelonmu.com/2017/08/08/chatterbox-scoobert-doobert/) and [91X](https://www.91x.com/music/scoobert-doobert-dont-worry/) frame the Encinitas / Swami’s Beach seed; **Romantic Capitalism** is one of the named ideas inside the lore dump.
