Why did you choose this theme? 

At least two generations have been shaped by the internet, and the pandemic required almost everyone to become Very Online. Internet culture is constantly in flux, and contradictory: depending on where you look, it can be dangerous or kind; stressful or relaxing; and reactionary or progressive.Each of these shows captures and explains a small piece of the much larger picture.

Rebecca Black's music video for Friday was Youtube's most watched video of 2011, thrusting the thirteen-year-old Rebecca into a very harsh spotlight.
