Reaction Videos

The fake laugh is always a useful tool for content creators these days. A double bluff in how its presented as the crumbling of the performativity, relatable goofiness mask dropping but it’s so often contrived. hinge (dating app) has a voice note feature and I notice this all the time. The ‘cute’ breaking of composure that’s actually meticulously executed on the 17th take

sort of similar to twitter it seems the right attitude with which you are supposed to engage with tik tok is highly refined and complex in its mix of sincerety and distancing

to succeed your performance needs to acknowledge all seven layers in a dialectic of embarrassment and coolness

i find it hard to know how to react to things like tik tok. Obviously I see it as dark dark dark but all that seems so besides the point.

anything in the shape of a diagnosis of youth culture seems besides the point. maybe that's always been the case, i don't know.

It’s connected to the conversation that every thread is weaving around - performativity, the dress up box, the algorithmic self, authenticity etc ….and how internet communication incentivises melodrama and extremity while we mostly sit in isolation straight faced and stimulated in a prickly shallow way

Was watching this (quite annoying) video yesterday which sort of relates to this


What I remember from it is the idea that Gen Z humour is all about outpacing assimilation, which is impossible to avoid when everyone is on the internet, and so becomes ever more ironic, surreal, obscure
