The viral British Vogue article “Is It Embarrassing To Have a Boyfriend?” has taken over TikTok and started a huge debate about modern relationships, gender roles, and why Gen Z suddenly feels weird about being in a public relationship. In this video, I break down why women feel this way, the epidemic of loneliness, and what it says about dating culture in 2025.What's even more interesting to me is how this discourse has evolved on the internet. From TikTok commentary to feminist think pieces, this conversation has sparked a wide debate on female independence, relationship advice, what it means to be a single girl, and why dating is so difficult for Gen Z.So… is having a boyfriend actually embarrassing now, or is this just another moment in online discourse?0:00 - Intro2:28 - Thank You xx4:05 - Chante Joseph's British Vogue Article8:56 - Single vs Married 12:48 - Why are women tired of men?17:23 - My theories on female dissatisfaction20:17 - Male vs Female Friendships23:38 - The Affordability Crisis24:40 - Male vs Female Cultural Divide28:45 - I don't think it's embarassing...32:30 - Critiques#videoessay #britishvogue #singlegirl

The Power of Persona (ft Remy Bond)
A great artist to me is about so much more than just the music.It's the world building, the visuals, and artistry that truly make someone iconic. Artists like Lana Del Rey, David Bowie, or Lady Gaga have developed entire artistic personas. Even outside of pop, we have artists like Tyler the Creator have an entire unique character they create for each album.But trying to create an entire world when you're still a new artist can be SUCH a challenge when you haven't had years worth of albums, music videos, or press like magazine covers to build that visual identity.So I wanted to sit down with a new artist who I thought was doing that BRILLIANTLY-- @remylovesu to show how to bring that piece of worldbuilding and artistic persona to life#remybond #lanadelrey #musicpodcast #musicreview

The 3 things that Build or Break a New Artist (ft Natalie Jane)
What makes a great artist? To me its about so much more than just music. It's the ethos, the visuals, the writing, worldbuilding, and how they tap into culture.Those things seem so much easier to do when you have a big record label, funding for your music videos, or an entire team around you-- but how does a New Artist do those things?Well we sat down with @nataliejane to talk about exactly that! Discussing her journey as a homegrown artist on the internet to the release of her debut album, "The World I didn't Want" which just came out last week! 0:00 - Intro2:27 - Artistic Fantasy vs Reality4:45 - Intrusive Thoughts8:23 - The World I Didn't Want14:00 - Fallin'17:39 - How U Been?20:30 - Girls Will Be Girls26:03 - AVA27:30 - Visuals37:30 - Butterflies38:45 - Anyone but Myself

The Disappointment of a Showgirl...
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
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
