Youth Mode- A Report on Freedom

TL;DR — The trend-forecasting report that coined “normcore”: a 40-page art-collective deck arguing that youth is a mode anyone can enter, and that sameness can be a form of freedom.

How much weight it carries: A conceptual art project dressed as a trend report. Influential on culture writing; not research.
