everyone’s talking about “you like Brazilian music?” not enough of you talking about Quincy going from the opioid epidemic to astrology

I did a lot of #MeToo follow-up talks and UBI came up a lot as a real material thing that would reduce sexual violence and coercion, get ppl out of abusive relationships, make sex work more safe.. here Liara Roux @ @thekiranoir talk about this..

100 & on so many levels. Ryan Trecartin is the joyful source for so much normcore art. also, right after my article came out, I smacked myself realizing that lesser post-internet art bros were wearing this look to look as blank as a check some collector could sign for them

I’m not saying I’m the sole author of #normcore—that’s why I published an oral history w/ 28 voices—but I am saying that I’m a very important One In Eight Billion

Normcore’s also a story about the polarizing, dehumanizing force of social media. Viral #normcore was when I realized the Internet was no longer for introvert nerds, it belonged to bold extroverts, like Trump and my haters
10 yrs ago, I froze & fawned, the girliest stress response. Being at the center of a viral dogpile is not for the faint of heart. My heart’s not faint but it is tender. Instead of asserting myself, I leaned back and listened…
I’m still listening and the true full story of normcore has still yet to be told. It’s a huge story. This oral history is just the beginning: interviewmagazine.com/fashio… @InterviewMag @HUObrist @dis @amaliaulman @venusxgg @harinef @khole_dena @kholetrends @ryanestrada
10 years ago I wrote the viral article that introduced #normcore to the world. The experience was beautiful and awful, I was dogpiled and de-authored, a thread…

To this day, in the KnowYourMeme entry for #normcore, 2 articles are referenced as causing the spread. Both are by me for different magazines: BULLETT 2013 + NYMAG 2014. I’m not listed by name for either 🧐 but I was there, pushing this thing forward… knowyourmeme.com/memes/normc…

Normcore's not a stupid fashion trend, it's a global style norm - history alive on our bodies. It's white ruling class men dragging underclasses for centuries & queers, femmes & POC remixing this. It's the Readymade in art...

#Normcore changed fashion, culture & language and deserves to be a book, an exhibition, a podcast series, a documentary..
In this word is the whole world, where the cringe meets the sacred
People really don’t want to take normcore seriously though.. Why?
#Normcore and “quiet luxury” can actually be traced back to the 18th century & "the Great Male Renunciation" when white ruling class men started dawning underclass drag so as to not get their heads cut off like the kings of the past tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
