Tweed peacoats, plaid dresses, corsets, and cutlasses found discarded in antique store basements have attracted a new group of buyers in 2021: Teenagers.  “Aesthetics,” a branch of philosophy that studies the nature and qualifications of beauty, taste, and art, has been given a whole new meaning in the last decade by Gen Z social media users. The contemporary understanding of the term has completely changed to now align with a collection of visuals that represent a broad array of concepts ranging from historical eras, locations, genres of fiction, music, and even pre-existing subcultures. The most prevalent of 2021 aesthetics can be narrowed down to two categories: Cottagecore, an aesthetic that romanticizes cottage life, and Dark Academia, a style that engages in the eerie visuals of early 20th-century academia. As these two aesthetics—along with many other similar aesthetics—gain popularity in the online lives of young people, it becomes important to understand how they arose, what they are, and what their modern-day implications may be. For starters, Tumblr might have a few answers. Created in 2007, Tumblr was the first image-oriented social media platform to go mainstream. Pinterest and Instagram, both launched in 2010, followed soon after. Unlike its other social media…

A Twitter Q&A with the owner of a baseball team isn't a common occurrence throughout history, so New York Mets owner Steve Cohen and Q&A moderator Wayne Randazzo decided to address the most important questions from fans in the 30-minute segment. And when you hear Cohen's secondary response to the question, you'll probably be gripping your seats with excitement as to what the topic was and what his initial answer could have possibly been about. "Well, you know, it is the most critical question that needed to be answered, more important than anything else we can even imagine," Cohen said. "And I'm sure that's gonna create controversy tomorrow or... probably right now, so I can't wait to see what my Twitter feed looks like." What could that possibly mean? Are they not going to extend Francisco Lindor? Is Mr. Met no longer the mascot? Will David Wright's No. 5 uniform not be retired?

"They'll come back for a few games this year, at some point, and you'll be able to buy those jerseys…
