This was great, very intrigued by SocialGlass. But I was a bit irked by the assertion that nostalgia is not a trend because "it’s been showing up on social media since 2020 consistently." Literal dictionary definition of a trend: "a general direction in which something is developing or changing." Trends are are cultural shifts that evolve over time, they can last for years; they are not new Tiktok aesthetics that pop up every other month.
i loved reading this sooo much and am excited for the whole series!!! am very curious if maxine (or even you!) have any books you love that dive into internet culture? there's books like 'alone together' by sherry turkle which i read back in college, but they feel very outdated now...
