Culture & Code

The Society of Spectacle

20 Feb 2025

Description

The culture of hype (streetwear, cronuts, Gone Girl, Hamilton...) got replaced by the society of spectacle (fashion shows, Olympics, SuperBowl, Barbieheimer). Everything is a spectacle if you lead with celebrities, promote it wildly, and spend enough money on it. Spectacles grab our attention and fizzle in one summer or shorter. In this episode, Rei and Ana talk about SuperBowl's half show, why sports is the only thing that unifies us these days, and whether can hype make a comeback.Watch us on YouTubeFollow Ana here:Newsletter "The Sociology of Business"New book "Hitmakers: How Brands Influence Culture"Follow Rei here:Rei's LinkedInNewsletter "The Intersection"Rei's global innovation firm I&CO
