So many eye openers here. Kids who haven't been to a club before? (Cannot imagine!) Scenesters vs. normies. So rich. I feel like that could be applied to so many other scenes. I love what you do! I feel so much closer to cool every time you put out a newsie.
Loved — on a different note — DJ as social catalyst post RONA is something I’m fascinated by. There’s something to be said of the subcultures developing around certain DJs — newer/rising DJs curating groups of listeners amongst friends/friends of friends, reaching the point where other groups of fans/communities develop, bringing a really cool mix of ppl together. Fans with different connections (personal or just from pure appreciation) to these DJs coming together and vibing — sets are becoming a great place to meet new ppl IMO, especially in NY
Not senor frogs!! Loved this deep dive GG! Would love to see a series like this one different creator forms. I’ve heard a lot for the same comments from comedians also. The playbook these days is just insane and unsustainable for independent creators. So many great points (ba boom ching!) in here, really got me thinking.
this was excellent. interesting dichotomy between how tech has enabled a huge creative explosion and new opportunities for a profession like this - even the most famous DJs in the before times were relatively unknown and very genre specific - and the huge labor gap between the tech utopian vision of the creator economy and the reality .

Thanks! That was a real eye-opener. So much more nuanced and cool than the monotony of 'trend decks.'

Grace, this was so good! I am very much a normie when it comes to music and I love the silly theatrics of the elevator music YouTube haha
