Yesterday I discovered American Teenager

Yesterday while shuffle mode was on Spotify, "American Teenager" by Ethel Cain started playing. I have never listened to her before.
I discovered that it’s from Preacher’s Daughter album, a concept album about a girl from 90s Alabama with a traumatic past. The song America Teenager is like her moment of “normality” and full of false hopes. Today I’m going to listen to the whole album much more closely. I’d like to ask: what should I listen to after Preacher's Daughter? I discovered that Ethel posts on Tumblr often; would it be possible to ask her questions about the songs?
P.S. English isn't my native language, so I'm not sure if I've made myself clear.

How trolling online was born?

Does anyone know exactly how the trolling phenomenon originated and when the first "signs" appeared? Did it start on a specific forum?

The most hated man on the internet documentary

Just finished this doc. The early 2010s internet culture really felt like the Wild West where anyone could get away with ruining lives.

Tomorrow you wake up and social media no longer exists

Tomorrow you wake up and social media no longer exists. We would go back to text messages, emails and reading the printed newspaper.
There would no longer be any so-called "doomscrolling," and people would have more time to devote to their hobbies. With dating apps gone, people would have to meet in public places (such as bars, town squares, and park) to strike up a connection.
The worst part is that many people would still lose their jobs (influencers and those working for major companies like Meta). I don't know if something like that is even possible.

StanTwitter and fandom

Hi everyone, I apologize if this post isn't clear. I've been around StanTwitter for a while with various accounts, but as the years go by, I realize this community is becoming increasingly toxic and problematic. Fans gather in group chats, which I consider microcommunities, but they often become places to vent, and the main topic—a particular singer, group, etc.—ends up on the back burner. Of course, the administrator, who is often a fan like the rest of us, does what they can to keep the community a safe space. What was your experience like in group chats and in StanTwitter in general? I apologize for my poor English.

StanTwitter during the years of One Direction and Justin Bieber

Hi everyone. I've been thinking about how StanTwitter has changed over the years. I know that in 2012, Twitter was dominated by the rivalry between One Direction and Justin Bieber.
I've been on StanTwitter with several accounts, but I find it highly toxic. When people gather in group chats—mini-communities—to talk privately with fans, and thus to share a passion, many users indulge in private confessions, traumatic stories, etc. I've noticed that this phenomenon of oversharing is increasingly widespread. For those of you who were on Twitter during its heyday, when Justin Bieber and One Direction reigned supreme, was the same thing? Or did people focus primarily on the artists rather than revealing information about their identities and lives? Is this just my impression, or in general, post-Covid, do many people tend to overshare online?

Sorry for the English, it's not my native language.

Forum and community about music and fandom

Hello! I’m GenZ and I was wondering If only in the early 2000s there had been forums, communities, or chats entirely dedicated to music or fandom in general. Having been born in the early 2000s, for me, "the land" of fandom has always been Twitter; to discuss their passions, people create so-called group chats (GCs), which I consider microcommunities.
Thanks to anyone who can answer my question.
Sorry for my English.
