Being and Dimes

Consistently popular throughout the history of the internet has been the dream of a global town square. In the early summer of 2021, this notion would manifest itself online as the “vibe shift,” a term originally coined by anonymous philosopher angelicism01 in a now-deleted tweet which came to signify the emergence of a distinctly new cultural paradigm and scene within the downtown Manhattan neighborhood dubbed Dimes Square. It was here that the internet would find a physical home, a nexus through which the culture of digital networks would travel and coalesce.
