social media
Social Media targeted at influencers and trending topics in the geek universe.
Pop Wars
The Pop Wars were an embarrassing time in social media history. Every style of pop culture took it upon themselves to prove who was the trendiest. From minor fads to the dominant idols of America, the internet had become a bloody landscape of overly competitive communication. New modes of interrelations between people were being lost in the reposts and reactions numbing the sophistication of human interaction. Anybody paying attention to the true contributions of these movements were less impressed and more concerned with the direction it was taking society. It was getting nasty because the toxic atmosphere of people joking about anything using popular ideas fostered an attitude of anonymous quarrels. Screen names symbolized their preference of trope. The judgment came down hard on any who failed to consistently live up to their clever pseudonym which became their identity more than their real persona. This was a major point of contention.

Social Media & It's Trends
While creating my TikTok, I had no idea, that I would become so "addicted" to it. I create my own videos, of course and try to follow the latest trends, while growing my account for more views and followers. Sometimes, I can't keep up. Sometimes, I don't feel confident enough to do specific trends. I mean, honestly, I'm a new mom, I'm overweight and I am not well coordinated. I give props to new content creators; It may seem easy, until you are like moi, and give it a shot, then say "Eh, maybe not today."

ASMR has been one of the most interesting trends to surge on the internet. It started to have introduction videos in 2015, but it wasn't until 2017, there had been some keen interest to showcase this community.

If You Laugh, You Lose! And I Bet You, Will!
"MAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCC!", that is the sound that the Youtuber known as MacDoesIt makes as an introduction to each of his videos. I myself do not know why he chose to 'jumpscare' us as an intro but at least it's an attention grabber.

My Favorite UTuber is Markiplier
I wanted to share you my favorite utuber, who's well known as, Markiplier. Markiplier is funny and makes me laugh. when I just want to watch something to brighten my day. Of course I don't know him personally, so I can't tell you the behind the scenes and what I know of him, On the other hand, I choose him because I have seen him over the time I since started watching him grow as he matures. As well as, seeing his channel grows more and successful.

A Journey to WhisperWind.
In recent years on YouTube, a revolutionary new genre has made waves on the internet. Referred to as ASMR (which stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response), these videos are characterized by their relaxing whispers and personal attention. Created by people calling themselves "ASMRtists", their videos range from roleplays to personal attention. . In fact, some channels have anywhere between one thousand to one million subscribers. This goes to show that the ASMR genre shows no signs of slowing down. People continue to flock to hear the latest whispers on YouTube.

Saying Good-Bye to Jenna Marbles
Many years ago, back when I was still in High School, I found myself getting involved in the YouTube community that I heard a few friends talking about. Before this I hadn't really paid much attention to it, only using it to watch music videos from my favourite bands. It was during this first foray into the mad and hilarious world of cat videos and people attempting to play video games, that I came across a hilarious woman from America, Jenna Marbles.
