Nostalgic Vibeset ft. Aaron Thorpe (@Paradoomer)

This week, we're joined by Aaron from The Trillbillies Podcast to talk about a recent essay he wrote about nostalgia, gritty reboots, hauntology, and the inability to conceive of any kind of future, let alone one that might actually be better. We talk about how and why reboots fail to capture any kind of contemporary moment in the age of content, and why this has also led to a situation where shows about teenagers, and ostensibly *for* teenagers, are actually geared toward and discussed by people in their 30s, trying to re-imagine their teen years. We also talk about what's been going on with Facebook recently, its weird swathes of viral content which make zero sense, and why going on Facebook is very much like the early stages of a stroke.
