Live Fast and Die Young: Indie Sleaze

from Community Vertigo · host Community Vertigo

We’re celebrating the New Year (and our last episode of 2023!) by dissecting none other than the Indie Sleaze revival. We discuss the various fashion trends that encapsulate the era, the music that soundtracked it, modern-day depictions of wannabe hedonism, and Alexa Chung finally gets her flowers.Links:⁠Spotify Playlist⁠Pinterest Board⁠TikTok Collection⁠Alexa Chung, “⁠Alexa Chung on the unpolished appeal of Indie Sleaze⁠” (Financial Times)Alexa Chung, “⁠It⁠” (Google)Arielle Richards, “⁠The Indie Sleaze ‘Revival’ Isn’t Real - It’s Just An Echo Chamber⁠” (Vice)El Hunt, “⁠How ’00s indie sleaze made a massive comeback⁠” (NME)Luke Morgan Britton, “⁠The Strokes on The Killers rivalry⁠” (NME)Find us:⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Watch ⁠⁠this episode⁠⁠ on YouTube Timestamps:Intro 00:00Indie Sleaze Revival 01:27The Trashy Party Girl 14:372014 Tumblr Era vs. Indie Sleaze 17:23The Apolitical Nature of Indie Sleaze 23:32Music of the Indie Sleaze Era 25:25American Apparel 32:38Indie Sleaze Media 36:08The Strokes vs. The Killers 43:48Is there an indie sleaze revival? 45:40Bev Review 48:42Outro 50:15 This is a public episode.

Prayer Time Heir Waves Prayer Time A podcast especially for our Prayer Time community NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
