December 08, 2023 Prey Mode: why predator vs prey discourse is everywhere online
From the viral ‘canthal tilt’ filter and memes asking girls to declare whether they’re ‘cat pretty, bunny pretty, fox pretty or deer pretty’ to recent Burberry and Stella Macartney campaigns, predator vs prey discourse is everywhere online. We unpack these recent trends, tracing their history back to incel looksmaxxing forums and how this all plays into the onrush of girl-coded memes taking over our feeds.

October 30, 2023 When did everything get so weird?
From the middenning of mass culture to AI upturning our perceived reality and conspiracy theories hitting the mainstream, a lot of things formerly thought to be marginal, fringe and countercultural are now common consumption. At the same time, there seems to be this pervasive sense of weirdness in the air, which is apparent in the content we share, the memes we consume and a general shift towards the supernatural, the paranormal and occult.

September 28, 2023 Is the golden age of posting over?
In episode four, we’re joined by meme duo POSTPOSTPOST to explore how the algorithm and top-down trend cycles are shaping the future of shitposting. In the past year, we’ve seen the dwindling of memes across social media, as platforms tighten their grip on censorship, and even the most personal content takes on a glossy, search engine-optimised sheen that’s indistinguishable from advertising. From Oceangate to Donald Trump’s mugshot, meme cycles are getting shorter and shorter, and no longer carry the critical edge they once had, which begs the question: is the golden age of posting over – or is it simply in its flop era?

August 11, 2023 UFOria: how aliens are fuelling a new era of disinformation
For episode three, we’re joined by artist and researcher Jak Ritger to discuss how aliens are fuelling a new wave of government disinformation. From last month’s landmark US congressional hearing to UAP sightings and technologies of unknown origins, aliens have crash-landed back into the mainstream – but what’s the real reason behind all this talk of non-human intelligence and unexplained phenomena?

July 05, 2023 Clout Matrix: inside the rise of clout
Enter the Clout Matrix. From the cloutbombing antics of the viral Heaven sofa campaign to scammer culture and the dark side of clout chasing, clout is taking over online discourse.

May 25, 2023 The Mid: how culture became algorithmically optimised for mass appeal
Welcome to the inaugural episode of Logged On, the new podcast from Dazed with Günseli Yalcinkaya about all things internet culture, from memes to emerging trends, Deep Web conspiracy theories and beyond.

Episode 1 – The Mid
We're living in a mid-ocracy. Today, culture is algorithmically optimised for mass appeal, serving up platters of pre-packaged cool – whether that’s a Deftones tee, a Fred Again mix or a wavy mirror via your Instagram explore page. On this episode, we're joined by Shumon Basar, the co-author of two books, ‘The Age Of Earthquakes’ and ‘The Extreme Self’, and the author of recent essays on lorecore and endcore, to discuss why everything suddenly feels so... mid.

Having released her pop-infused dancehall EP The Red Room: Yard Gyal Inna Britain earlier this year, Alicaì Harley has proved herself a force to be reckoned with in the UK music scene. As part of Dazed’s Roll The Tape series – a partnership between Dazed and Rizla celebrating live music – we sat down with the musician to talk about everything from finding creativity in a pandemic, to reminiscing on the sounds of her childhood spent in Jamaica, and crucially, whether or not she believes in ghosts.
