If you couldn't see their phones, you'd mistakenly think that the point of the party was to be there. In fact, the point almost entirely was to be able to broadcast online that you'd been there, ideally having done something outrageous. Normal behavior for celebrities, I think somewhat new behavior for teenagers. One teen at the party buys bad pills, Percocets, supposedly.

It's hard not to notice how the algorithm rewards the teens as they demonstrate more extreme behaviors, how it reinforces their bids for attention, whether or not that attention is even positive. The logic of the system is familiar. Teens being deranged by TikTok and Instagram, like boomers got deranged by Facebook, or Gen Xers and millennials by Twitter. I asked Lauren about this.

The other thing that I really felt was that I felt like mostly what you were trying to do is just capture something true. But if your work was making an argument to me, the argument I felt that I was hearing as the story unfolds is that essentially teenagers are creatures who learn through comparison. The internet is a device that encourages and amplifies comparison.
