It seems like the internet has had a LOT to say about Taylor Swift this past week...From the release of her album Life of a Showgirl, the diss track about Charli XCX, and releasing 28 vinyl variants in the first 2 days...I made a Tiktok about this, and lost 1,000 followers in a day. It was so crazy that it really got me thinking about this downfall of honest music journalism, and how stan culture has created such an argumentative environment where no one wants to here any sort of disagreement. Going as far as to be mean and try to "punish" someone for simply expressing an opinion different from their own#taylorswift #charlixcx #albumreview

The Death of Nuance & the Age of Ragebait
Why does everything feel like ragebait now?From the Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle Ad Campaign, crazy tiktok foods, debate shows, toxic fandoms, and ragebait marketing.EVERYTHING feels like extremism, and we have completely lost the idea of nuance. To like some things, dislike some things, and still be a fan.Now it feels like everything is a team sport-- where you have to endlessly defend your team. Instead of actually trying to have a conversation and learn from one another0:00 - Intro2:38 - Bonus Episode4:16 - The History of Ragebait Marketing7:53 - The Psychology of Ragebait12:22 - The Rise of Extremism14:30 - Sydney Sweeney American Eagle17:59 - Why Bigotry Doesn't Work24:13 - Jubilee27:50 - Innocent Ragebait33:04 - Why Ragebait Marketing Always Fails37:37 - Charlie Kirk#videoessay #sydneysweeney #leftist #charliekirk

The Addiction to Sadness (ft King Princess)
Welcome back to Nicky at Night!!!This week we sit down with the one and only @kingprincess to discuss her new album "Girl Violence", writing "Fantastic" for the Arcane Sound Track, and what it was like to start acting in the show 9 Perfect Strangers.I was most fascinated by the theme of this album all together. How women who love each other so deeply, can sometimes use that connection as this tool of emotional warfare#kingprincess

Welcome to my solo podcast!!!
My name is Nicky and I used to work in the entertainment industry for 3 years on the social strategy & marketing side before I ever became a Creator.
I am obsessed with analyzing the stories behind Music, Movies, and Marketing. I truly believe the media we consume is so important to our development and how we interact in society.
Growing up in the suburbs of Virginia as a very closeted teenager, I remember how isolated I felt. It was Youtube and Music that made me feel scene for the first time.
Hopefully I can make someone else feel that way too <3
