Nostalgia Stanning Might Snag You A Beau, According To Tinder
Like them or not, dating apps really do pull back the curtain on what’s driving today's culture. Despite never having used a dating app myself, this is why I find it so fun to glean insights from apps like Tinder, which recently released its “Year in Swipe” review, about what’s hot and what’s not among my peers.
So when I saw Tinder reported that “nostalgia stanning was a flex,” I knew I had to take a deeper dive than the surface-level analysis they shared. According to Tinder, a huge dating trend this past year was including interests like “‘90s kid,” “Running Up That Hill,” “Sneakers,” “Anime,” and other ‘90s/naughts inspo in your bio. Their conclusion? People are looking for authenticity and the “good vibes” we used to experience pre-social media and smartphones. Here’s why they’re onto something and how you can incorporate a healthy dose of nostalgia stanning into your day-to-day life, effectively snagging yourself a beau.
