#115: Taylor Lorenz (NYT)

NYT's Taylor Lorenz on La Piscine (1969), Power Walks, Black Market Pesto, and more.

Cool people like cool things, which is why we asked cool person Taylor Lorenz to come on Perfectly Imperfect & redistribute her good taste.

Taylor Lorenz is a Los Angeles based journalist covering memes, YouTubers, TikTokers, Twitch streamers, and more for the New York Times. Her deep curiosity of Internet culture has led to great pieces on everything from the text-heavy meme posts of pages like @on_a_downward_spiral and @lifes.a.bender, the word “Cheugy”, and @glamdemon2004’s rise on TikTok. Right now she’s hard at work on her upcoming book, Extremely Online, which charts the rise of the so-called "creator economy" or influencer economy. You can expect to find Extremely Online from Simon & Schuster in late 2022. Taylor has great taste and lucky for us, she’s here to tell us what she’s been into.

Without further ado
