An insightful exploration of online memetic subcultures, delving into the world of gen Z teens as they navigate radical political ideologies, including eco-extremism, neoreaction, anarcho-primitivism, transhumanism, anarcho-capitalism, alt-right, post-left, egoism, and cyber-nihilism.
The author, embedded within these virtual realms as an amateur anthropologist of internet culture, provides a unique perspective. From early studio visits in 2012 to encounters with pseudonymous tweens on platforms like Tumblr, the author witnesses the evolution of these subcultures in real time. Their observations unfold against the backdrop of conventional art worlds and improbable internet niches, offering readers a front-row seat to the convergence of art, politics, and the diverse tapestry of online existence.
