Hot take - soft clubbing & coffee shop raves suck. 

Today: digging through a couple recent artefacts that demonstrate how frozen our culture feels right now, invoking some of Mark Fisher’s thinking, and why our culture needs more risks and edge rather than yet another ‘soft’ iteration.

Welcome to the social media recession 🆘.

Today: a recap of my keynote at Snapchat’s annual conference, detailing how brands have made the public internet an unpleasant place to hang out, what problems it causes marketers, and how platforms will evolve to follow their users into hiding.

Knowledge is the last accessible status symbol.

Today: breaking down why “performative knowledge” is trending, how AI is reshaping status anxiety, and why brands are shifting from products to “proof-of-thought."

We want our rich people to look like rich people again.

Today: a collaboration with @nostalgiaexpressway, looking at the cultural reversal from 20 years of inconspicuous status signalling, a nod to recession indicators, and how we’re responding to the death of aspiration with defiant excess.

The analog lifestyle is an inaccessible fantasy.

Today: examining the reality behind our offline aspirations - how the personal brand turned logging off into a luxury, and why we can't use social media as a scapegoat.

Gen Z are some of the most analysed, and yet most poorly understood cohorts by brands and marketers. 

Today: the start of a new series where I bust some of the most common myths and stereotypes about youth I’ve seen while working with brands, and a framework for understanding youth culture as a response to the economic/political/technological forces exerted upon it.

Gen Z are simply not the most ‘values-driven’ generation in history. 

Today: unpacking some of the factors that drive the myth of Gen Z being highly progressive (including some of our own millennial blinders), and a simple call-to-action for brands: stop waffling about vague commitments to ‘people and communities’ and return to solving the very real problems in front of young people today.

Authenticity is one of the most overused words in modern culture - and it’s a false god to follow.

Today: a look at some of the pitfalls we’ve fallen into as people and brands chase the authenticity dragon, why we’re heading into an era where we’re re-establishing old categories and boundaries, and what the role of brand should be - not a societal saviour, but a reprieve that grants great access to fiction.

Narrative-driven brand building is in collapse. 

Post millennial trend update: How the fragmentation of media means there is no longer a single point of origin for the way a brand is experienced, how it’s causing a shift in metaphor from ‘brand as story’ to ‘brand as mosaic’, and the new skillsets marketers will need to respond to a culture that’s hit terminal media velocity.

Friction is what’s missing from our lives online. 

The importance of friction part 1/3: how big tech has actively sought to remove friction in our lives at the expense of meaning, how this design philosophy causes us to be susceptible to toxic ideologies, and why friction shouldn’t be treated as an unconditional evil, given it’s often what makes experiences in the real world desirable.

We’ve given no good reason for young people to work hard. 

Today: A look at how our broken economic environment has forced new conceptions of the attitudes young people hold towards work: either hustle to skip rungs on the ladder, or lie flat and dance on the deck while the titanic sinks.
