What do Nylon Magazine, skinny jeans, Sky Ferreira, an egregious amount of American Apparel, and MGMT have in common? They all evoke images of PEAK indie sleaze, an era characterized by a chaotic, messy aesthetic with arguable bi energy buzzing beneath its surface. In this episode, we're joined by artist and musician Larena Winn of the electro-pop group MOTHERMARY, as she explores her own relationship to indie sleaze. Larena walks us through her personal journey of leaving Mormonism as she was coming into her queerness and beginning the project of MOTHERMARY in New York with her twin sister.

We dive into what bands we associate with the cultural moment, our obsession with It Girls (Cory Kennedy, wly), the emo to indie sleaze pipeline, and of course, the current resurgence of indie sleaze, asking ourselves along the way: in what ways does this feel bi? Break out those late aughts playlists, bi babes, as we investigate the grimy glam moment that birthed tumblr girlies and allll of their questionably queer moments.
