Community Vertigo is a podcast by three water signs, all of whom are burdened with the all-consuming knowledge of everything, and the unwavering need to share their opinions with anyone who will listen.

In this week’s episode, we weigh in on the NYC influencers debate. Inspired by the viral TikTok from @martinifeeny (https://www.tiktok.com/@martinifeeny), we wonder: What makes these new-age influencers so ‘boring’? What’s with all the beige clothing? We discuss the true New Yorkers we love to watch, the heyday of 2016 influencers and the insidious nature of gentrifiers.

Toxic Pop Music Stans: The Grammys, Gracie Abrams, Benson Boone, & More
We’re SO back. In this week’s episode, we share our favorite Grammys looks and performances, debate whether or not a musician needs to sing well to be taken seriously (Dylan, we’re looking at you), and defend some of Stan Twitter's least favorite pop stars. We know you missed us, but as always, we are filled with opinions.

Bratology: the study of charli xcx's brat summer | stan culture, kamala harris, & indie sleaze
As the leaves turn brown and the fall equinox approaches, we reminisce on the infamous brat summer that spawned from Charli xcx’s 6th studio album, BRAT. We determine if BRAT has a place in the alleged “Indie Sleaze” revival, condemn toxic stan culture’s war on artistry, and applaud Charli’s panache for marketing. Will a U.S. presidential campaign and cultural phenomenon give BRAT the push that gets Charli back to the Grammys? Could a remix album lead us to a brat autumn? Join us in exploration of this lime green-colored, club-infused era.
