People My Age

Today I'll be talking about something I've briefly touched on before but I want to get a little bit deeper into; the idea of a target audience in relation to highly concentrated, specific aesthetics. (Note: something odd happened with the sound around the middle of the episode, sorry about that!)

Today I'll be discussing Avant-Basic; what it is, its roots, and my thoughts on it.

Today I'll be talking about the internet's obsession with originality and the possible effects of this, as well as my own experiences with it. (Quick edit: last week I mentioned that Marisa Maino of the Tramp Stamps was trying to emulate Melanie Martinez when I meant to say Marina and the Diamonds, so if you were confused about that, that's why!)

Hello again! Today I'll be talking about the Tramp Stamps, a wannabe punk band that has recently come under fire on social media.

I'm back folks! This week I'll be making a prediction for a future fashion trend. I'll discuss the possible rise of twee, why I believe it may be on the horizon, and its significance.

This week, I'll be talking about the 'casual Instagram' trend of October 2020; going over what it was, why it happened, and my personal criticisms.

The first (and an extra short) episode of People My Age! In this episode, I'll discuss Buzzfeed: its rise to popularity, the brand it has made for itself, and its shortcomings, as well as my own experiences with the site.
