10/30/22 • 82 min

In this week’s cheeky episode, we bring into existence the concept of the “blokette” (bloke + coquette) aesthetic, a fascinating new look which draws combines sporty tomboyish swag with whimsical femininity. We discuss Bella Bots, Cool Britannia, the Beautiful Game, and the heritage of sportswear in fashion.

Nymphet Alumni - Ep. 57: The Dandysode

Ep. 57: The Dandysode

Nymphet Alumni

play

08/29/23 • 60 min

This week, we discuss the great mascot of modernism and one of our personal favorite archetypes: the dandy. We reflect on dandy theory from Baudelaire to Baudrillard and investigate the roots of dandyism as a reaction to “the great masculine renunciation” of the Age of Revolutions. We mourn tragic dandies past and honor their self-sacrifices at the altar of decadence, and we speculate on 21st century dandyism and its expressions online— and Sam shares her michelada recipe!

Ep. 56: Eurodance

08/21/23 • 68 min

This week, we’re bopping our heads through the last weeks of summer— to the tune of Eurodance! We reflect on the high BPM European dance music that soundtracked the ‘90s and 2000s, from hits like “Barbie Girl” and “I’m Blue” to CGI-characters-turned-chart-toppers like Gummibär and Crazy Frog. We discuss the controversy around Sweden’s supremacy in music production, Eurodance aesthetics as a blueprint for Mass Bushwick, the Euro-exoticism of Albanian pop stars, and more.

Nymphet Alumni - Ep. 43: Into the Superflat

This week, we consider the lasting impact of Takashi Murakami's Superflat art movement on the chaotic visual landscape of the 21st century. The youthful funkiness of "Frutiger Metro," the punk orientalism of Tokidoki, and the dystopian cheekiness of Gorillaz all epitomize the hybridization of cultural symbols between East and West and the flattening of art and consumer culture. We reflect on the Y2K revival of Atompunk, nostalgia for the utopian promise of Microsoft Windows, and the importance of lime green in a girl’s bid for independence.

In this ambitious follow-up to last year's viral Blokette episode, we hereby announce the second coming of sporty-cute style: Broquette, an All-American, booze-soaked celebration of athleticism, youth, and hedonism. We chart the rise and fall of Bro culture and explain how Bros invented the media landscape of the Internet as we know it. Through discussions of white rappers, boat shoes, Greek life, and more, we predict that sleaze is on the decline and raunch is on its way back up.
