*PREVIEW* - The Cybergoth International: day-glo ties, Gen Z and youth subcultures
This week, we're asking what Gen Z kids mean when they say "My aesthetic is looking like a terrible 90s market stall in Camden Town!"? (NB this may not be a direct quotation, but close enough.) Kasia and Dan take us on a wild journey through 'cybergoth internationalism', fluokids, retro culture, futurism and modernity, chaotic teenage ideas of cool and the death (or not!) of youth subcultures.Also, why are full shelves in the supermarket oddly soothing when you have a hangover, and why empty shelves tell a story of social collapse? Do loyalty fobs promise a Fully Automated Luxury Future? What exactly are they doing with all our grocery data? Would Gordon Brown back the introduction of ID fobs?
