> Where is the actually interesting culture coming from

Your kid's bedroom (if your a Gen X parent).

Youth culture is now heavily social media or short content based, making it easier to reach out to large audiences while staying at home.

You can build and manage an entire community of friends just by using Discord or other similar products, so you can develop a network effect without having to be in-person.

Take a look at SoundCloud Rap, TikTok shorts, Gamer Youtube, Podcasts, ASMR, etc.

Also, a lot of us younger people had some of our most formative years during the lockdowns, which turbocharged online culture.
