Sometimes you wind up tromping around San Francisco in the pouring rain looking for a disco ball chained to a bench, just so you can hear Katy Perry's new mediocre single a day before the general public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new song, you see, which Katy is slated to perform at the Grammys this Sunday, is called \"Chained To the Rhythm.\" In a board room somewhere in New York or Los Angeles, a team of highly paid executives decided the best way to visually represent this motif in a low-cost, hashtag-friendly marketing gimmick format was to chain plastic disco balls with headphone jacks in them to benches around the world, then tell people to go find them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all sounded incredibly stupid. Of course I went.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/katyperry/status/829346621259288578\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you'll indulge a brief attempt at justification: This kind of marketing is interesting to me because it's at once a product of our times and incredibly old-timey. Remember when we lined up outside record stores to buy a new album the day it came out? You had to go to a physical location to consume the new music, and there you met other people who cared as much about that artist as you did. It was a collective experience. An \u003cem>event\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Events are harder to come by in the internet age, as evidenced by the fact that the most interesting way anyone's come up with to generate hype for an new album in the past few years is just \"not announcing it.\" Even with a lavishly executed multi-media rollout like \u003cem>Lemonade\u003c/em>, the consumer experience was first and foremost a solitary one -- we experienced it alone, behind different TV and computer screens, then texted our friends or went on Twitter to talk about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was different. It was participatory. Katy wanted me \u003ca href=\"http://chainedto.katyperry.com/\" target=\"_blank\">to look at a map\u003c/a>, then go find the disco ball -- at which point I would surely find a horde of Katy Perry fans. We'd take turns listening to the song, share thoughts about it, post on Twitter and Facebook and Instagram and Snapchat (thereby doing the viral marketing work for her), and go on our merry ways, secure in the knowledge that we were part of something special, something bigger than us -- a community. Real Katy Perry fans call themselves KatyCats, I believe?

An Instagram post confirmed this, locating the ball more specifically near the Castro Theatre. A vision: all the Katy Perry fans partying in front of the theater, having fun, listening to \"Chained to the Rhythm\" just a mile away, without me.

She explained apologetically that she had been at Dolores Park earlier, until an officer from San Francisco Rec and Park came by and asked if she had a permit. She did not. He directed her to unchain the rhythm, so to speak, and move on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So here she was outside Hot Cookie. She had called her boss to discuss the new location, but she certainly didn't know how to update the interactive map. So far only two people aside from me had found the rhythm as it was currently chained at its new location. Cory legitimately felt terrible about this. I tried to tell her it was no big deal. I refrained from telling her about all the new Katy Perry fan friends I was now never going to make. It wasn't her fault. I pressed on. I plugged in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is my review of what turned out to be only part of \"Chained to the Rhythm,\" as I heard it absolutely blasting on loop out of a plastic disco ball with no apparent volume control features in the middle of a downpour while balancing an umbrella with a record label intern taking pictures of me on Castro Street: \"Chained to the Rhythm\" sounds like if Lady Gaga's \"Alejandro\" and Sia's \"The Greatest\" and Rihanna's \"Don't Stop the Music\" had a baby, only worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/robynxkatheryn/status/829350562500067328\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's less a devil-may-care disco tune than an aggressive, bludgeony club banger. There's a hook, and it's energetic, but not exactly uplifting. Sia wrote it, so it has a bit of that ominous minor-chord edge that suggests \"you will dance to this for the next two years but also you're going to feel vaguely anxious every single time.\" With some help from the internet, the lyrics include the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>We wear those colored glasses on, and the party on\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Turn it up it's your favorite song\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Dance, dance, dance to the disco show\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Turn it up put it on repeat\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Stumbling around like a wasted song**\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Me? Yeah, we think we're free\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Drink, this one is on me\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>We're all chained to the rhythm, to the rhythm, to the rhythm\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Aha, so good\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>We wear those colored glasses on, and the party on\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Turn it up, it's your favorite song\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Dance, dance, dance to the disco show\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Come on, turn it up, keep it on repeat\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Stumbling around like a wasted song\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Me? Yeah, we think we're free\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Drink, this one is on me\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This imagery, given our current sociopolitical climate, is certainly open to interpretation. What does it mean, exactly, to be chained to the rhythm, robbed of our individual free will -- that supposedly quintessentially American value -- but lulled into believing the choice to dance is our own? Is the rhythm capitalism? Is it \u003cem>fascism\u003c/em>? Colored glasses, y'all. We think we're free, indeed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The good news is that you will have six months to three years to ponder these questions and more, as this song is sure to be ubiquitous within the next week. And I, according to the laws of pop music, will probably love it after I've heard it 12 to 15 times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/StephiRuth/status/829406722678784014\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, I give it a solid B-minus. I thanked Cory for her time and went on my way, but as far as I know she's still out there, babysitting the damn thing, so if you have any interest in Katy Perry or overly forced interactive corporate marketing strategy, you should really go visit her out there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for me: I don't know if I got the nostalgic, collective musical experience I was hoping for today -- but after I publish this, I'll share it on Twitter, hashtag it correctly, and tomorrow I might wake up with a handful of hardcore Katy Perry fans mad at me from all over the globe. If that's not evidence of a social media-driven marketing event successfully bringing people together and starting conversation in the year 2017, I really don't know what is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(*\u003cem>*Full disclosure: Until the internet corrected me I thought \"Stumbling around like a wasted song / me?\" was actually \"Stumbling around like a wasted zombie,\" which would have been better.)\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Remember when we lined up outside record stores to buy a new album the day it came out? You had to go to a physical location to consume the new music, and there you met other people who cared as much about that artist as you did. It was a collective experience. An \u003cem>event\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Events are harder to come by in the internet age, as evidenced by the fact that the most interesting way anyone's come up with to generate hype for an new album in the past few years is just \"not announcing it.\" Even with a lavishly executed multi-media rollout like \u003cem>Lemonade\u003c/em>, the consumer experience was first and foremost a solitary one -- we experienced it alone, behind different TV and computer screens, then texted our friends or went on Twitter to talk about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was different. It was participatory. Katy wanted me \u003ca href=\"http://chainedto.katyperry.com/\" target=\"_blank\">to look at a map\u003c/a>, then go find the disco ball -- at which point I would surely find a horde of Katy Perry fans. We'd take turns listening to the song, share thoughts about it, post on Twitter and Facebook and Instagram and Snapchat (thereby doing the viral marketing work for her), and go on our merry ways, secure in the knowledge that we were part of something special, something bigger than us -- a community. Real Katy Perry fans call themselves KatyCats, I believe? I'm too old to have ever identified by one of these \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_(fan)\" target=\"_blank\">pop star stan name things\u003c/a>, but I get it. And here was a chance to see firsthand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/IMG_4397.png\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-63323 aligncenter\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/IMG_4397.png\" alt=\"IMG_4397\" width=\"360\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/IMG_4397.png 360w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/IMG_4397-160x284.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/02/IMG_4397-240x427.png 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Except that it was pouring in San Francisco today. The interactive map showed the ball in Dolores Park, perched on a bench up near the southwest corner, looking down over the playground. So off I went, umbrella in hand, happily listening to \"Firework.\" I wondered what kind of Katy Perry fans I would meet, and whether or not we would be instant friends. I reached the top of the hill. The disco ball was nowhere to be found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I dutifully checked #ChainedToTheRhythm on Twitter. In other cities -- London, Paris, Tokyo -- the internet was spilling over with images and short videos of Katy Perry fans showing up, plugging in, and experiencing the previously aforementioned rhythm.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

An Instagram post confirmed this, locating the ball more specifically near the Castro Theatre. A vision: all the Katy Perry fans partying in front of the theater, having fun, listening to \"Chained to the Rhythm\" just a mile away, without me.

She explained apologetically that she had been at Dolores Park earlier, until an officer from San Francisco Rec and Park came by and asked if she had a permit. She did not. He directed her to unchain the rhythm, so to speak, and move on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So here she was outside Hot Cookie. She had called her boss to discuss the new location, but she certainly didn't know how to update the interactive map. So far only two people aside from me had found the rhythm as it was currently chained at its new location. Cory legitimately felt terrible about this. I tried to tell her it was no big deal. I refrained from telling her about all the new Katy Perry fan friends I was now never going to make. It wasn't her fault. I pressed on. I plugged in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is my review of what turned out to be only part of \"Chained to the Rhythm,\" as I heard it absolutely blasting on loop out of a plastic disco ball with no apparent volume control features in the middle of a downpour while balancing an umbrella with a record label intern taking pictures of me on Castro Street: \"Chained to the Rhythm\" sounds like if Lady Gaga's \"Alejandro\" and Sia's \"The Greatest\" and Rihanna's \"Don't Stop the Music\" had a baby, only worse.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There's a hook, and it's energetic, but not exactly uplifting. Sia wrote it, so it has a bit of that ominous minor-chord edge that suggests \"you will dance to this for the next two years but also you're going to feel vaguely anxious every single time.\" With some help from the internet, the lyrics include the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>We wear those colored glasses on, and the party on\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Turn it up it's your favorite song\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Dance, dance, dance to the disco show\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Turn it up put it on repeat\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Stumbling around like a wasted song**\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Me?

What does it mean, exactly, to be chained to the rhythm, robbed of our individual free will -- that supposedly quintessentially American value -- but lulled into believing the choice to dance is our own? Is the rhythm capitalism? Is it \u003cem>fascism\u003c/em>? Colored glasses, y'all. We think we're free, indeed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The good news is that you will have six months to three years to ponder these questions and more, as this song is sure to be ubiquitous within the next week.

The photo of her \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BPBmafzBdk8/?taken-by=lolakirke&hl=en\">actually on the red carpet\u003c/a> later that night is a pretty solid representation of what usually happens on her page -- 5,640 likes, 339 comments. By comparison, the underwear video garnered a whopping 3 million views and 1,500 comments. Her caption attached to the aforementioned red carpet pic succinctly explains why: \"Thanks to all you beautiful people who didn't send me death threats on account of my #awesome #hairyarmpits!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To read through all 1,500 comments under Lola's underwear video is to experience everything bad that happens to people on social media in one handily condensed and unedited nightmare spiral -- not to mention how gender roles influence how we humans look at each other and interact in real life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the surface, the outrage at Lola's video does seem entirely based in disgust at her unshaven armpits. In one comment thread, she is called \"ugly,\" \"nasty,\" and \"bitch\" so many times that counting each instance becomes a Herculean task. Kirke is also repeatedly referred to as \"slutty,\" \"gross,\" \"hoe,\" \"disgusting,\" and \"unhygienic.\" The emoji with the closed eyes and the surgical face shield is used hundreds of times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interrupting this endless tirade of insults are supporters, desperate to remind Lola that she is \"beautiful\" and \"awesome,\" but the hate just keeps coming at a rate that demonstrates that this isn't just about one moderately famous woman's underarms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The men leaving insults on the thread mostly make it about them. @triggeredredmemes says: \"I don’t want a bitch that won’t shave in bed with me.\" @anthony_ramirez.24 says: \"I wish I didn’t see this.\" @just_finding_nemo says: \"I don’t understand why some women don’t shave their armpits.\" @xx_.king._xx says: \"it’s different on a dude but you bring a female in the picture that look decent then got hairy ass armpits that sh-t ain’t adding up. plus idk a dude that like that on there girl.\" And @tiamobieber seems to feel threatened by having a woman embrace something that he believes is a male privilege: \"Disgusting! YOU ARE A WOMEN NOT A MAN.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there are the men who think this must be a publicity stunt, for no right-thinking woman would ever willingly leave hair on her body without real (financial?) motivation to do so. @Mohragabfans says: \"Clearly she doesn’t have a career. Nobody is paying her any mind. So, she figured. Growing my disgusting armpit hair will get my whack ass self on some headlines (which happened) but don’t forget, she did that all to grab the medias attention. It’s sad to be this desperate and thirsty.\" @Joshsa7 agrees: \"I love her but she is so badly trying to prove a point by not shaving its unbecoming.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly, the women expressing outrage make it about their own idea of feminine roles, which, in turn, often reveal some serious, internalized misogyny. Some have strange notions about the dangers of armpit hair for women like @lizre, who states: \"If you people don’t like to shower, shave, brush your teeth etc. Fine but the truth is that it is disgusting without hygiene people can get sick.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there's anti-underwear police like @solas_one, who says: \"Someone tell her that we have kids in instagram.. we don’t need to poison there minds with this kind of sh-t…someone tell her to send this video to her husband and not to a bunch of perverts…\" and michelle_cookie101, who says: \"I’m reporting you bitch for nudity and porn… Shave your pits dude.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The overriding message, if you subject yourself to the entire thread of comments, is twofold: 1. Lola Kirke must be brought down a peg or two, and 2. Women's bodies are public property to be dissected and commented on at will. Much of the thread issues outright demands to shave, as if Lola's body is a public monument to be designed by and voted on in a virtual town hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amount of attention focused on Lola Kirke for this one, silly, short clip also demonstrates how much our culture has been focused, for so many decades, on making women feel terrible about themselves at every opportunity. Not only do many of the Instagram commenters make that their goal, but a major reason this post generated an abnormal amount of traffic is because, in those eight brief seconds, it was clear that Lola Kirke was feeling good -- about her body, about herself, about her life. And the sight of that turned out to be so jarring, on such a deep level for a great many observers that they felt the need to remind Lola -- and all of us -- that there is a real price to pay if you allow the world to know you are a confident woman. If you happen to be such a woman with the nerve to not observe every single one of the extremely narrow rules around American beauty ideals, things will be even worse for you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, \u003ca href=\"http://www.lennyletter.com/culture/interviews/a684/growing-into-yourself/\">Lena Dunham interviewed Camila Cabello\u003c/a> about how the 19-year-old has coped with stardom in the pop group Fifth Harmony. Wise beyond her years, Cabello said: \"The best decision that I've taken in my career thus far has been this year; I've just stayed away from social media. I don't go on it... Even though I know that there's way more support than there is hate, I don't have that in my head.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a sad state of affairs when young, famous women must close themselves off from social media -- something most of their non-famous peers use daily -- in order to avoid having around-the-clock hate directed at them. Here's hoping Lola Kirke can provide a positive example of how to rise above and beyond it, while we wait for online culture to catch up.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Not only do many of the Instagram commenters make that their goal, but a major reason this post generated an abnormal amount of traffic is because, in those eight brief seconds, it was clear that Lola Kirke was feeling good -- about her body, about herself, about her life. And the sight of that turned out to be so jarring, on such a deep level for a great many observers that they felt the need to remind Lola -- and all of us -- that there is a real price to pay if you allow the world to know you are a confident woman. If you happen to be such a woman with the nerve to not observe every single one of the extremely narrow rules around American beauty ideals, things will be even worse for you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, \u003ca href=\"http://www.lennyletter.com/culture/interviews/a684/growing-into-yourself/\">Lena Dunham interviewed Camila Cabello\u003c/a> about how the 19-year-old has coped with stardom in the pop group Fifth Harmony. Wise beyond her years, Cabello said: \"The best decision that I've taken in my career thus far has been this year; I've just stayed away from social media. I don't go on it... Even though I know that there's way more support than there is hate, I don't have that in my head.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Now, he said, it's time to let the public decide. \"We'd like people to tag the mural with positive sentiments of healing the country. And the world,\" he said. \"We just had the inauguration, lots of protests, the Women's March, which was huge, and then there's the Black Lives Matter movement, with police brutality and those things going on.

The list of new possibilities includes 59 artists, celebrities, activists, athletes, politicians and chefs: everyone from Gandhi to Kevin Durant to Nikki Giovanni to Rachael Ray. There are some local D.C. heroes, too, like Charlene Drew Jarvis, a longtime public servant and former president of Southeastern University. There are international superstars, like Michael Jackson and Oprah Winfrey. Voters can also write in their own suggestions if they aren't inspired by anyone on the list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Already, over 5,000 people have voted in the online poll, which will stay open through the end of February. Fans have begun to weigh in on Twitter, with a strong contingent pushing to keep Obama on the wall.

This week, the restaurant painted over the giant mural of Bill Cosby, Donnie Simpson, Chuck Brown and President Barack Obama that has lived on its outside walls since 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kamal Ali, one of the restaurant's owners, said his customers have been talking about that mural for a long time, arguing over who should or shouldn't be featured. Now, he said, it's time to let the public decide. \"We'd like people to tag the mural with positive sentiments of healing the country. And the world,\" he said. \"We just had the inauguration, lots of protests, the Women's March, which was huge, and then there's the Black Lives Matter movement, with police brutality and those things going on.

When people are looking up a word at a higher rate than usual as related to an event, Merriam-Webster shares that trend and adds context on the word's meaning and how it was used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Four people were involved in writing and editing the 'fact' article, and none of us felt like we shouldn't report the story — choosing not to report that trend would have been much more political than continuing as we always have,\" Naturale told Vox. \"If you don't believe that words matter, why are you consulting a dictionary?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Merriam-Webster subtly scolded the Trump team again, this time in response to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.merriam-webster.com/news-trend-watch/lookups-for-claque-spike-following-reports-of-trumps-cia-visit-20170123\" target=\"_blank\">spike in searches\u003c/a> for the word \"claque.\" The searches were likely in response to reports that the people who cheered Trump during his visit to CIA headquarters were not actually agency staffers but \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbsnews.com/news/sources-say-theres-a-sense-of-unease-in-intel-community-after-trump-cia-visit/\">Trump supporters\u003c/a> invited for the occasion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MerriamWebster/status/823779912725237761?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These types of tweets are nothing new for Merriam-Webster. Throughout the presidential campaign, Merriam-Webster developed its funny style of delicately trolling Trump on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Trump accused China of stealing a U.S. drone back in December, calling the act \"unpresidented,\" Merriam-Webster's Twitter account mocked the president-elect for misspelling \"unprecedented\" and making up a new term. Trump corrected himself and deleted the tweet, but by then Merriam-Webster had already tweeted \"Huh\" as its word of the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MerriamWebster/status/810117698558562304?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the presidential debates, Merriam-Webster also threw some shade at Trump's unique rhetoric.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Trump's comments referring to \"bad hombres,\" the dictionary's site saw a \u003ca href=\"https://www.merriam-webster.com/news-trend-watch/confusion-after-trumps-bad-hombres-comment-led-to-a-spike-in-lookups-for-ombre-20161019\" target=\"_blank\">surge in searches\u003c/a> for the word \"ombré\" but was quick to point out the difference between the two words. \"Hombre\" is the Spanish word for \"man,\" while \"ombré\" refers to \"having shades or colors that fade into each other.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MerriamWebster/status/788915032658702337?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MerriamWebster/status/788914054115057664?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the dictionary publisher attempted to \u003ca href=\"https://www.merriam-webster.com/news-trend-watch/did-trump-say-bigly-or-big-league-20160927\" target=\"_blank\">set the record straight\u003c/a> on a major perplexing question of the campaign: Did Trump say \"bigly\" or \"big league\"? Merriam-Webster highlighted that \"bigly\" is in fact a real word, but concluded that Trump was using \"big league\" as an adverb, which is uncommon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MerriamWebster/status/788915239618224130?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite all of this mocking, Naturale clarifies that Merriam-Webster's social media strategy goes beyond that. She says it reflects Merriam-Webster's quirky identity while furthering its goal of sharing knowledge as experts on language.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sunday — one day after the Women's March drew millions of people worldwide — Merriam-Webster tweeted the definition of \"vanguard\" with a GIF of Sylvia Rivera, a transgender activist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MerriamWebster/status/823379809262796800?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Smart people are curious about the world, and smart people are curious about the other people who live in that world,\" Naturale told Vox. \"Our Twitter reflects that attitude.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2017 NPR.
