are parasocial relationships to blame for doja cat's sudden hate? in the episode, i deep dive into recent drama revolving around doja cat to cover the bigger problem that is unhealthy relationships between celebrities and fans. since the creation of social media, the barriers between the two have faded. as a result, many people including doja cat have suffered from fans being able to directly conn...

a quick little thought: are glow-up videos REALLY just about being attractive? younger audiences are captivated by these videos, especially with the recent “i fell on my face, got up on my own” tiktok trend. but it’s harmful because people aren’t glowing up, they’re growing up. ever wondered why younger people look older than you? ♡ https://linkr.bio/matthewsperspective interlude prod.

“#06 #boba #keshi” are some trending hashtags that a specific group of thirst trappers use under their videos. these users are glorified, fetishized, looked down upon, and everything in between (for being asian and/or being quite young). but - how was this subculture created? from the "kevin nguyen" meme to mask culture, i cover it all in order to answer this question. because, i'm s...

instagram shows the world a preview of your life and what you enjoy, and profiles and posts tend to follow the same theme, the same aesthetic, and style of pictures. what happens if you want to change your online identity? it's hard to change overnight online. ♡ https://linkr.bio/matthewsperspective check out *AFFORDABLE* handmade crochet items (premade or custom) from my friend's small bu...

after a year of podcasting and content creation, i learned a lot. i composed a list of 8 of the most important lessons, that can apply to anyone's life. some include releasing yourself from the perception of others, and real-talk motivation for starting whatever it is you want to start. hope this helps ♡ https://linkr.bio/matthewsperspective interlude prod.

"old money" is where masculinity equals rich and white, clothes are low-key but cost more than your life, and you live in europe all summer long. the old money aesthetic is basically elitism and classism - romanticized. also, within the subculture, there's an enemy called "new money". it shows off wealth proudly. now, it's time for a makeover. here's what's wrong with tiktok's latest & greatest ae...

videos of interviewers asking streetgoers to rate themselves have been circulating the internet. i've noticed that, no matter what they say, the comments hate them one way or another. why? basically - i realized some things that can serve as a good reminder, especially to tune others out. although, the things i realized aren't mental health-oriented. take a listen ♡ https://linkr.bio/matth...

if niche = different and different = cool, everyone wants to be niche, right? from pinkpantheress to playboi carti's opium (the aesthetic, not the drug), there's an easily identifiable cycle of niches, subcultures, and trends. ultimately, it shows that no matter how far away someone is from mainstream media, everyone will find their back to it. the hate for mainstream, why we all migrate b...

every day, we have to make decisions with a simple word: "yes" or "no". when you are asked to do something for someone else, when is it truly justified to decline or accept it? with social media becoming increasingly self-centered, where do you draw the line? in this (long-awaited) instillation, i provide MY 3 PRINCIPLES to this form of decision-making, analyze the pros and con...

oh, look! it's a baby tee. how cute. for... $200? heaven by marc jacobs is a niche, eccentrically basic clothing brand that serves up gen z with clothes that look like they could be thrifted. despite the hefty price tag, it's still highly regarded and loved by many. here's the real question... WHY IS IT SO SPECIAL? this episode is an exploration of heaven : how it ripped off japanese h...

if this is the prime time of my life, i'm gonna have a boring highlight reel later down the line. todays it's me, my mic, and my quick thoughts on what the teenage dream is supposed to be and the potential ups and downs of living alone. can you tell i've been listening to "SOUR" by olivia rodrigo recently? am i projecting? ♡ https://linkr.bio/matthewsperspective (psst i have...

beginning in 2017-ish, typing in all lowercase letters took the world by storm. you know those youtubers that use that ONE font in all their thumbnails? and it's always lowercase? it was considered "aesthetic" and very attractive to teenagers (including me lol). it's kind of a defining personality trait for gen z, but recently i've seen more people shift back to proper gramma...

recent generations are digital natives and have really grown with technology. while others tell us to not live our lives online, the internet is surprisingly safe and hard to avoid. ♡ https://linkr.bio/matthewsperspective interlude prod. Jayzeney

both temu and shein have been big parts of gen z's shopping habits, but then there comes the juxtaposition of thrifting (which is also a big part of gen z) vs. fast fashion and low prices. these companies have insane popularity and it promotes overconsumption. so how does it affect this generation? and on a larger scale, how will it affect the earth?

big artists could put out such 5/10 work, but still, receive a ton of support. the trendy culture around certain artists (including sza and the weeknd) gives their name a safety net, whether their music is good or bad. let's talk about it. along with that, i dive into the uncertain future of the music industry- and why "main" artists like taylor swift and harry styles will dissipate over time. and...

if someone's fame is subjective... is it even a real concept? for this episode, i was inspired by an interview of jenna ortega saying how her parents treated her the same before and after fame. i talk about the factors that go into thinking someone is famous, how it's all in our heads, and why someone's social status and their followers don't matter in determining their fame. ♡ https://linkr.bio/m...

…and no, it’s not saying positive affirmations in the mirror. this method might even be controversial. in this episode, i even quickly take you through the steps of my presented method! ♡ https://linkr.bio/matthewsperspective  i recorded this a couple of months ago, and i think it's safe to say that my voice changed. lol. the only thing i hate about being a content creator at this age is that...

the term "pretty privilege" is thrown around everywhere, but what does it really mean? and which groups are included? is there even a specific group? with all of these factors coming into play... is pretty privilege even a real construct? ♡ https://linkr.bio/matthewsperspective "VALENTINE'S DAY, ACCORDING TO YOU" PLAYLIST: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4Gk075JpLI6VtSZ455Vnbd?si=2b291ce5de7f4dd...

for valentine's day, i attempted (and failed) at a deep dive of different human relationships. i talk about platonic, romantic and professional relationships and i also cover the idea of connecting TO people but not WITH people. to pair with this episode, you can find a valentine's day playlist (by YOU!) on my spotify profile or with the link below. let's be spotify moots! love it or hate it, happ...

this may have been the corniest thing i've ever done... in this episode, i eliminate songs from jace cameron's new EP "Dogwood" until i find the best one on the EP. i simply could not continue my life until "Dogwood" was a part of my digital footprint. and why does this feel like the winter edition of "Denim Heart"? snippets do not do the full songs justice... please go listen to them in full if t...

i thought it was overrated, but i already want to do it again lol. i quickly talk about being alone (but not lonely), how peaceful it can be, and different "security blankets" i've used to help me overcome awkwardness and social anxiety. enjoy. ♡ https://linkr.bio/matthewsperspective
