Hello and welcome!

Consider Nicstalgia your cultural literacy guide to navigate the nostalgia industrial complex. My newsletter has the rigor of a Pop Culture PhD with the fun of a glossy 2000s teen magazine. It developed out of Nicstalgia the show, a video podcast I created in 2022 to have deep conversations about superficial things.

Whether it’s an esoteric deep-dive down a pop culture rabbit hole or an unexpected take on cyclical trends and nostalgia plays, we curiously explore ephemera and phenomena that you either totally forgot about (or never stopped thinking about).

Here at Nicstalgia, we love examining the past through a contemporary lens, probing pop culture’s most fun, playful, absurd, and bizarre moments, and delving into how the cultural zeitgeist shapes our society (and vice versa).

I never stop talking about…

Behind the Music Newsletter

I’m Nicole Tremaglio, a writer, dancer, and performer who explores how pop culture, media, and technology impact identity. My professional background is in luxury fashion. I love listening to music, getting dressed up, singing karaoke, thrifting CDs and DVDs, drinking iced coffee, and researching, learning, and teaching people about 21st century popular culture.

But wait, there’s more!
