Internet Aesthetic - Getting Cozy with Cottagecore
play

05/15/21 • 42 min

Cottagecore is the north star of our personal aesthetics. It was one of the first internet aesthetics we wanted to talk about, but never did because we wanted to do it justice. In this episode, we explain the origins of cottagecore, why we love it, some contentious issues associated with it, and variations of the aesthetic. Now excuse us while we frolic in a bucolic meadow wearing gingham linen frocks.

Internet Aesthetic - Entering our hag era (an ode to our 20's and beyond)
play

03/12/23 • 27 min

We’re entering our ~ hag era ~ ! AKA the perception that people (namely, women) evolve into hags when they enter their thirties. In this episode, we explore the anxiety and pressure that can come with this perception—particularly for those in their twenties (like us!) who are approaching this milestone. We end this episode on an uplifting note: delving into why getting older should be celebrated and seen as a blessing, rather than a source of fear or shame. Join us as we muse on aging and the value of every life stage!

Internet Aesthetic - Our relationship with Instagram? Uh...it's complicated
play

03/04/23 • 65 min

We’ve talked about Instagram quite a bit on this podcast - one of our earliest episodes was us talking about our Instagram aesthetics and anxieties around using Instagram. I think it’s fair to say that Instagram plays an important role in our lives and we’ve started to re-examine and re-assess our relationship with it. In this episode we're discussing how our relationship with Instagram has changed over the years, the ways that Instagram tries to keep our attention and keep us on Instagram, and what we wish Instagram could be and what we wish our relationship with the social media platform could be like!

Internet Aesthetic - are your normal or are you normcore
play

01/23/24 • 43 min

Do your eyes roll whenever you hear the word “core” attached to anything? Do you complain to anyone who will listen about how they’ll name a style after anything? Do you claim to have no style or that you just throw on whatever and go about your day? Have you considered that maybe...you’re normcore?? In this episode we’re rambling about what distinguishes someone who is “normcore” versus someone who is “normal”, what it means to pursue “no aesthetic” as an aesthetic, and what it means to pursue no aesthetic at all! Put on your most normcore outfit and listen along!

Autumn is upon us—move over cottagecore and thot girl summer, because Academia has entered the chat. In this episode, we explain what the academia aesthetic is and give an overview of its sub-genres: dark academia, light academia, chaotic academia, gray academia, and more!

While we love the visuals of this aesthetic, we also cover why this aesthetic could be problematic. We understand that women, people of color, and queer people have been important members of academia for ever—so why aren't they represented more in the visuals of this aesthetic? We unpack this aesthetic's love for itchy wool clothing and dusty books that don't actually get read. (Your childhood affection for Harry Potter is showing)
