It’s the online gathering point for smart, technology-obsessed, and self-aware young urbanites who embody the irreverent/innovative zeitgeist of the 2010s. Editorial focus spans all breadths of modern life – from pop culture to technology, literature to television, viral media to music criticism. Topic doesn’t matter all that much, as long as what is being covered resonates with the most plugged-in members of Generation Y.
