We Tried to Invent Our Own Synesthesia

from Hot-Mess Highpothesis · host Hot-Mess Highpothesis

What color is the Renaissance? What does MySpace feel like? And why does Blockbuster have a very specific vibe that we can’t agree on?In this episode, Brittany and Sydni attempt to create their own version of synesthesia by assigning colors, feelings, memories, and overall “vibes” to everything from the 2000’s and MySpace to Prince, Queen, and the color purple itself. What starts as a simple game quickly turns into a full-blown debate about nostalgia, music, and the very specific energy certain things carry.Some answers make perfect sense. Others feel deeply incorrect. And by the end, we’re forced to settle the most important question of all: which school subjects get which color folders?Expect chaos, strong opinions, questionable logic, and at least one argument that gets way too serious for absolutely no reason.Play along and see if your brain agrees with ours… or if you’re completely normal.
