    Episode 004 - 2010s Nostalgia and the Culture That Shaped Gen-Z

    The Totally Normal Folks reflect on the decade that shaped them and many other Gen-Zers; the 2010s. The time of seemingly endless summers, catchy party anthems, and outrageously skinny jeans. As 2010s nostalgia comes back in a big way, we ask the question, why are we already nostalgic for decade that just passed? what did the 2010s mean to us? and does this mean the mustache tattoo on my finger is no longer cringe?
