Social Media Scorn

Unrestrained mockery of social networking

Implications - When SMS texts grew in popularity, so did sites dedicated to mocking those messages—for example, ‘Texts From Last Night.’ It only follows that social media would get the same treatment. Numerous sites are now centered on uncovering embarrassing status updates and Tweets, as well as poking fun at social media in general. Today’s consumers tend to show their contempt quickly, meaning nothing is ever off limits to insult.
Trend Themes
1. Social Media Mocking - The rise of social media mocking with blogs, videos, and collections of tweets provides a way for consumers to express disdain for certain content while also creating humorous opportunities for aspiring comedians and content curators.
2. Humorous Social Tweet Collections - Websites that focus on collecting, highlighting, and ridiculing humorous tweets from social media platforms hold potential for content curation, audience engagement, and community building opportunities.
3. Illustrated Social Media Posts - Social media illustrations represent a new visual language and art form that inspires creativity and collaboration between writers, illustrators, and social media users while also providing marketers and businesses with opportunities to visually enhance their content strategy.
Industry Implications
1. Entertainment Industry - With the rise of social media mocking and humorous tweet collections, the entertainment industry could explore new opportunities by leveraging these trends through the mediums of television, film, and social media.
2. Marketing Industry - Illustrated social media posts present an opportunity for the marketing industry to visually engage with audiences on social media, social networks, and digital platforms through creative and humorous content that captures consumers' attention and emotions.
3. Publishing Industry - Humorous social tweet collections offer the publishing industry an opportunity to showcase clever and humorous content, curate user-generated content, and create books, articles, and blogs that resonate with consumers on a personal and emotional level.
