Defining groupcore

What all this pump around ‘groupcore’ and then no token!? Haha. It’s funny though that it looks like Yancey is defining a whole new cultural paradigm into existence, but in the end he wants to sell stuff through his Metalabel. Interestingly these ideas were partly born in web3 space and echoes 2021 art space idealisms but pivoted to Stripe. (Ironically Stripe now building its own blockchain.)

While the previously mentioned A-Corp might eventually become something really new, "groupcore" sounds like a rephrasing of old ideas that once found their way into the "management of virtual teams" and similar things.

@Misha: Yancey did actually once work in crypto (in the 2021 era), and it was a bit of a scandal when we pivoted away from it.

I kinda like, honestly, that there are more and more people who are doing their own thing, not crediting crypto. It has become so toxic and you basically get very little back from crypto when you develop your ideas in the space. So I think the Bluesky people and Yancey have been directionally right and successful with their approach.
