Gen Z's '90s Nostalgia Has Some Gaps
About this episode
The episode explores Gen Z's nostalgia for the 1990s, discussing what they romanticize and what they overlook, featuring comedian Rob Anderson.
The '90s are everywhere these days — clothes, music, TV — and brands are doing everything they can to capitalize on the revival. Audie and Ari explore what’s driving the modern fascination with a decade they lived through, what Gen Z's rose-colored glasses miss about the era, and what they wax nostalgic for (mix tapes!). Plus, comedian Rob Anderson joins Audie to discuss why nostalgia is so damn funny. Like what you heard? Sign up for our newsletter to catch up on the latest trends, obsessions and culture.
