You may or may not be aware of @socks_house_meeting; I write about the fizzy, litty, lengy, tappy tap tap characters of London, in memes which centre on social media trending fashion, places to be seen and places to eat. Think Dan Ashcroft in Nathan Barley in 2023 with ADHD.
How did it all start? Well, I basically combined having a bit of a screw loose, a decent-ish sense of observation and a penchant for Bottom-era Rik Mayall weird vocabulary and it seemed to resonate; it grew a bit and then quite a bit and now I’m here, (20,000 followers). Twenty years since the world became aware of ‘hipsters’ (the term was born around 2003, same year as MySpace) there’s a whole new strata of fashion folk stalking the streets of the capital.
