#brainmess

brainmess incoming but like, i really am oddly fascinated with internet culture in general. there’s probably a billion studies already but like... memes and internet language use and the unspoken etiquettes on each website and just all the different groups and factions and rules and such are so fascinating to pick apart. like, i know people get kinda defensive when people start trying to pick apart the internet and observe it on a level that isn’t active participation, but it’s weird when you think about it, because the entire internet community is so heavily context-based (esp. with memes) that to an outsider who doesn’t regularly participate this is such a clusterfuck but even when you are neck deep in this shit it’s still such a clusterfuck.
