Bridget from Literal Trash 2004 is featured on this week's episode of Nicstalgia. We explore how having ‘bad taste’ is really arbitrary, the shadow side of pop culture, tabloid culture, low culture, bimbofication, and how superficiality and vapidness on the internet can actually be fun. Not everything has to be ~so deep~ right??
If you’ve ever thought about why Paris, Lindsay, Britney, Nicole, Mischa, and so many others were made out to be villains by the media, how fame was so detrimental to high-visibility celebrities before social media democratized access to having a platform, or a time when there was a divide between the public and celebrities, you will love this episode.
We play Trashy or Trendy with 2000s culture staples like Von Dutch, Ed Hardy, Jersey Shore, Playboy Bunny motifs. If you had pink, lime green, and zebra print bedroom decor, you are trash!! (It’s okay, we are too.)
