For my USC Annenberg capstone, I looked at the cultural meaning of the language that young people have come to use online — phrases like “screaming,” “I’m shook,” “I feel attacked,” etc. I explored the idea that these phrases overplay our emotions and discourage us from presenting nuanced, authentic representations of ourselves online, potentially driving us further apart despite the feeling of being part of a broader internet culture.
I built this multimedia package to present the story in a novel way, including the text itself, the photos, the videos, and the web design.
