Why do we need to keep flattening ourselves and labelling ourselves? Are trends taking the place of religion? How closely is goblin mode tied to mental health? How close is 'That Girl' tied to perfectionism and unrealistic expectations? Is it all this deep???? All you questions answered wherever you get your pods! xx Hosted on Acast.

Lovebombing, "The Ick," & WTF is Ye up to?

We start off with an extremely chaotic chat about Ye - is he ok? Is this a PR stunt? Should we care? How long until everyone tunes out? And then we dive into a far more intellectual chat about the TikTokification of terms like "Lovebombing" and "gaslighting," when "the ick" is actually a red flag, and of course, the Tinder Swindler.As always, a big shout out to Neon - literally the best NZ streaming service - for making this episode of Culture Vulture possible.
