Kpop encapsulates parasocial relationships, humanisation of brands and corporations, personal identity through consumerism, the authoritarianism of online echo chambers, desiccation of popular culture. Nothing else in popular culture is as nakedly about material success, sales numbers and the fans personal investment in the groups popularity (not output) as kpop.

Also, this artstyle.

Nothing. There is no 2010s zeitgeist. There’s just the Neoliberal Monoculture that will remain with us the rest of our lives. What was dominant in the 2010s — memes, social media, internet subcultures, irony, corporate slavery, identity politics — will be dominant for the rest of this century. Actual cultural zeitgeists like the 70s and 80s are gone. It’s all homogenized and stuck.

I believe this is the correct answer. Especially regarding the corporate dominance of our individual lives, along with extremely artificial social politics i.e. BLM.
I imagine the next few decades will be identified by their declining social cohesion, increasingly artificial connections to civic society and increased racial conflict.

I don’t know, but I do think TikTok opened up an entire new wave of the Internet. Instagram and Twitter and Snapchat fed everyone’s ego, but they never had the pure self-exploitation of TikTok. Have you seen what goes on there? People make joke videos about people they know dying, joke videos about themselves being raped or assaulted, about how their girlfriends cheated or, more common with women, how they cheated and how they enjoyed it. Think, did this stuff come up on Vine? NEVER. Soft-core porn excused as dance, complete release from any of the social accountability that comes from adulthood. I say: OnlyFans never takes off without Tiktok taking off. I may just be another asshole on a rant on this shit site, but I’m worried about what’s going to come of all this.

It reminds me of how in Childhood's End all of the children joined a hive mind and failed to reproduce. I'm not saying that Tik Tok is the only cause, but rather that mass communication, technology, the police/surveilance state, etc is all correlated with the loss of individualism, the loss of culture, and declining birthrates.

Capitalist Realism. The sense of nihlism, dread, hopelessness. We have no future, its dead. We’re depressed and paranoid and restless and anxious. We can't fix our politics because we have no power.
