Nostalgia Trap - Episode 353: The Trivial Sublime, Part Two w/ Sean Nelson (PREVIEW)

Nostalgia Trap

Along the way, Sean offers some hard-earned wisdom and personal reflections on the pejorative concept of the “one hit wonder,” as we contemplate the past and future possibilities of subversive popular culture. Were the 90s really the last golden age, or is that just another nostalgia trap?
