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.

Brands do NOT create culture.

Culturally resonant brands identify cultural currents relevant to their strategy and then grant that culture a platform.

This effectively results in a transference of those cultural associations to the brand - taking the cultural capital generated by others and turning it into economic capital, and (if you're really good at it) making sure everyone gets paid fairly. 

To show up in culture, brands must become a patron of it. And if you're trying to "shape" culture as a brand marketer, you've already misunderstood the assignment.

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.
