Why does Gen Z keep stealing our shit? From wired headphones and digital cameras to baggy jeans, indie sleaze, malls and everything Y2K, the things we actually lived through have somehow become someone else’s aesthetic.

This week, we get into “borrowed nostalgia,” why Gen Z is so obsessed with the pre-algorithm world, what they get right (and very, very wrong) about it—and play a round of Who Owns It: Gen X or Gen Z?

Turns out every generation steals from the one before it. We’re just not emotionally prepared to be the vintage one.

Channing Tatum's alleged IG has the internet talking, so we're talking too. That raises a bigger question: if the celebrities we grew up with had social media back then, how many of them would have survived it? Honestly, not many. And neither would the movies. We go through how wildly inappropriate the entertainment we were raised on was, and how we watched it without a second thought.

Then Cher launches into a full, deeply committed recap of Just One of the Guys, the 1985 cult classic where a teen journalist goes undercover as a boy to prove her writing isn't being taken seriously because she's a girl. Was it ahead of its time or a total mess? Probably both. Come for the gossip, stay for the plot summary nobody asked for.

New episodes every Tuesday. Watch on YouTube and follow Midlife Vices on IG and TikTok.

Sydney Sweeney is back in the discourse, this time for an ad that asks the important question: what if sports… but sexy?

This week, Cher and Breezy unpack Sydney’s latest messy campaign, the increasingly horny marketing of women’s sports, and why we apparently can’t just let women play a goddamn game without turning it into content.

And then? Who knows. We certainly don’t.

Welcome to Tits, Sports, and Tangents—an episode that starts with a topic and makes absolutely no promises about where it ends.
