Post Aesthetics: First Impressions (A2)
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
I was added to a Facebook group called ‘Post Aesthetics’ about 2 months ago by one of my good friends. I scrolled through the groups feed and was fairly confused by the . It consisted of some self-described ‘dank memes’, long form stories, humorous screenshots, and many references to things I’m not hip enough to understand 1. I attempted to post on the group to ask exactly what the group considered ‘good content’ 2. Noone responded. Well, except one guy who commented “nobody responded – that’s your answer” 3. I recently noticed someone had asked the posted the same question a few days back and received much kinder responses:
My challenges to become a participating member of this community were as follows: learn what ‘good content’ to this community is, learn the etiquette, and learn a bit about the other members who they are – what they get out of the community, and maybe get into my first ever facebook fight 4
FOOTNOTES:
- I now have learned what vaporwave is as well as the aesthetic for vaporwave music ↩
- This is a term that was thrown out and debated a lot within the group the weeks following ↩
- this was before assessment 2 was assigned and I deleted the post after I received this feedback which is why there is not a screen shot of this interaction ↩
- With a Stranger! ↩
