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.
The cultural politics of post-internet art are so tied up in normcore! And both are misunderstood and maligned for similar reasons. which is not to say that neither deserves criticism, they both deserve a lot! But they usually get it for the wrong reasons. Anyway, great thread 🙃.

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: @InterviewMag @HUObrist @dis @amaliaulman @venusxgg @harinef @khole_dena @kholetrends @ryanestrada.

The trend's earliest adopters tell us the secret history behind the making of the meme.

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….

Going viral with #normcore was the best education that money can’t buy. I got paid $400, got no work from it, was maligned by some of my sources & erased from a history I catalyzed; I learned the secrets of the universe. People get vile when things go viral. I went mute….

Most #normcore deniers btw are (white guys) guilty of wearing normie normcore and believing that makes them invisible/invincible to a fashion gaze @theprophetpizza @InterviewMag

In the past decade, no one’s gotten #normcore right bc no one’s asked questions or done. research? Of the endless academics, journos & vloggers who have tried to explain it, no one has reached out to me or my sources. Rampant individuality when normcore is a collective story.

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

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. @InterviewMag @TELFARGLOBAL
