In this week’s episode, we explore the evolution of Emma Chamberlain and why her audience is now saying they’ve started to outgrow her. In recent weeks, TikTok and YouTube have been flooded with videos from Emma’s fans criticising some recent episodes of her podcast, 'Anything Goes', and saying they feel like Emma’s takes are becoming increasingly out of touch. This criticism came to a head in late October after a TikTok went viral saying that Emma should go to college to develop her critical thinking skills– sparking a debate amongst her fans about the creator’s long-standing reputation as Gen Z’s “relatable” influencer.

In this week’s deep dive, we explore the concept of the “rude celebrity interview.” We dive into some of the key players that have made this interview style so popular— like Zach Galifianakis, Amelia Dimoldenberg, Ziwe, and Bobbi Althoff— before exploring why this style has seen so much success among Gen Z, the various criticisms of this style, and whether or not it's getting tired.   Find our podcast YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC18HclY7Tt5-1e3Z-MEP7Jg   Subscribe to our weekly Substack: https://centennialworld.substack.com/   Join our Geneva home: https://links.geneva.com/invite/7eb23525-9259-4d59-95e3-b9edd35861a5

In this week's episode, we dive into the evolution of the 'sad girl' archetype from music and art to influencer culture. We first cover what 'sad girl' means, which celebrities have become successful from presenting this way, and why it could be considered controversial. We finish by looking at how 'sad girl' has evolved with influencer culture with the likes of creators like Emma Chamberlain and Madeline Argy, and why we think this archetype resonates so much with Gen Z.
