Same applies for the episode where they have to rebel against the system to prove their compatibility. So, the idea of singing “hang the DJ,” was about rejecting the music being played for you, to think for yourself, to rebel. Legend has it that Morrissey and Johnny Marr wrote the lyric “Hang the DJ,” as a protest against a specific DJ named Steve Wright, whom they despised because of his insipid taste and adherence to a kind of corporate approach to music. There are claims that this song was targeting a real DJ: Which shows the rebellion of the singer to the the DJ who is playing something which cannot be related to the singer. On the Leeds side-streets that you slip down Only time we hear the words Hang the DJ is in the end of episode where we hear The Smiths's song Panic, you can refer whole song's lyrics here, relevant part of lyrics goes as : Here you have to go through 1000 simulations to check compatibility but the twist is that the system will always try to separate you in one way or another and the right way to rebel against system is to prove your compatibility which Frank and Amy did 998 times out of 1000, making their compatibility level 99.8%.

The gist of it is that the songs on the radio are meaningless to the singer and don't describe his life. "Hang the DJ" is the chorus of the song "Panic" by the Smiths, which is played at the end of the episode.
