Welcome to my solo podcast!!! My name is Nicky and I used to work in the entertainment industry for 3 years on the social strategy & marketing side before I ever became a Creator. I am obsessed with analyzing the stories behind Music, Movies, and Marketing. I truly believe the media we consume is so important to our development and how we interact in society. Growing up in the suburbs of Virginia as a very closeted teenager, I remember how isolated I felt. It was Youtube and Music that made me feel scene for the first time. Hopefully I can make someone else feel that way too <3

The Death of Nuance & the Age of Ragebait

Why does everything feel like ragebait now?

From the Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle Ad Campaign, crazy tiktok foods, debate shows, toxic fandoms, and ragebait marketing.

EVERYTHING feels like extremism, and we have completely lost the idea of nuance. To like some things, dislike some things, and still be a fan.

Now it feels like everything is a team sport-- where you have to endlessly defend your team. Instead of actually trying to have a conversation and learn from one another
