It was one of those sweltering summer days in May, the kind where the sun seems to beat down on everything it touches, making the air shimmer with heat. Mika Tan, a name that would become synonymous with a certain kind of thrill and excitement in my life, lived just next door. Or, at least, that's where I thought she lived.

This created a shared cultural lexicon; millions of people watched the same broadcast at the same time, establishing a unified pop-culture conversation.
Today, that monoculture is dead. In its place is a fractured, niche-driven universe. now caters to hyper-specific subcultures.
