are you niche, weird, or performative?

in this episode, we break down the line between niche, weird, and performative - how wanting to be different can make you just like everyone else, what these identities actually look like in real life, and where we find ourselves on that spectrum. we also ask: what happens when the behaviors people call "performative" are things you genuinely enjoy, with or without an audience? ultimately, who decides what's authentic? other people, or you?
