Writing at the intersection of music, internet culture, technology, and philosophy


About:

I’m Jay, a writer and digital anthropologist analyzing how media and technology shape culture. My work focuses on internet culture, crypto, postmodernism, esports, and the memefication of modern life.

I’ve contributed to multiple publications and worked on marketing campaigns as a copywriter and strategist. I’ve also interviewed figures such as Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari.
