In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the rise (and possible fall) of the butt. From the Fashion Nova era to the gym-glute industrial complex, our culture has turned the human backside into a beauty standard, a marketing strategy, a currency, and, in some cases, a personality trait.
We’ll explore how we got here, why butts became the blueprint for desirability, how Black women’s bodies were commodified for profit, and why the “butt economy” might finally be declining.
If you’ve ever wondered why butts have such a strong hold on pop culture, dating norms, cosmetic surgery, and social media trends... this episode clarifies it all.
Listen in and let’s unpack why society can’t stop talking about our butts… and what that says about us.
