Nymphet Alumni is an American fashion and cultural commentary podcast founded in 2021 and hosted by Alexi Alario, Sam Cummins, and Biz Sherbert. It is credited with coining the term “blokette” (a portmanteau of “blokecore” and “coquette” that describes a style combining coquette fashion with British football apparel) and its American counterpart, “broquette.”

Content

Nymphet Alumni’s episodes cover analysis, prediction, and commentary of past and future trends, blending internet and pop culture knowledge with cultural theory and criticism. The first two episodes were dedicated to an analysis of American Apparel and its cultural impact, and they have gone on to record over 100 episodes on various fashion and cultural trends. Episodes include “Sugar Cookie Consumerism,” “Dark Suburbia and the Xandemic,” “Mass Bushwick,” “Spiritual Bimboism,” “Into the Superflat,” “Shoe Diva,” “Spiritual Bimboism,” “Male Pirate Dressing,” and “Pastel Protestant Grandmother.”

The podcast has hosted a mix of academics, musicians, journalists, influencers, and artists as guests including The Dare, Dr. Valerie Steele, Jon Caramanica, Caroline Munro, and Avery Trufelman.

Origin

Alario, Cummins, and Sherbert met on Instagram and are based in New York, Texas, and London respectively. Sherbert, a writer and critic whose work has appeared in The Face, AnOther Magazine, and i-D, pitched the podcast idea to the other women after seeing a need for more discourse on how internet culture has shaped fashion and aesthetics. Their podcast name is a reference to early-2010s Tumblr culture.
