A revealing exploration of a quarter century of cultural stagnation, examining the commercial and technological forces that have come to dominate contemporary culture—from music and fashion to art, film, TV, and beyond


Over the past twenty-five years, pop culture has suffered from a perplexing lack of reinvention. We’ve entered a cultural “blank space”—an era when reboots, rehashes, and fads flourish, while bold artistic experimentation struggles to gain recognition. Why is risk no longer rewarded, and how did playing it safe become the formula for success? Acclaimed cultural historian W. David Marx sets out to uncover the answers.

In this ambitious cultural history, Marx guides us through the blur of the twenty-first century so far, from the Obama era to the rise of K-pop, from Paris Hilton to the Marvel cinematic universe, from Beyoncé and Taylor Swift to . . . Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, whose enduring influence highlights both their adaptability and the broader shifts in pop culture. Combining sociological, economic, and political insights with a deep dive into art, street culture, fashion, and technology, Blank Space dissects the rise of profit-driven, formulaic trends and the shifting cultural norms that often prioritize going viral over innovation. He reveals how backlash against indie snobbery and nineties counterculture gave rise to a “counter-counterculture”—one marked by antiliberal sentiment, the celebration of business heroes, and the increasing influence of industry plants and the elite class. In a world of crypto bros, nepo babies, and AI-driven art, Marx offers readers a much-needed dose of clarity and context.

Vibrantly narrated and sharply argued, Blank Space is an essential guide for anyone looking to understand the chaos of the twenty-first century, the trends, tastemakers, and icons who shaped it, and how we might push our culture forward over the next quarter century—through renewed emphasis on creativity, community, and the values that transcend mere profit.

Terrible scents
Style: 6 Piece Discovery Set 2
If you want to smell like an old lady, this is the perfume set for you. The only semi okay scent is Santal, all the rest are unwearable and smell terrible.

Nothing Great & Not Long Lasting
Style: 6 Piece Discovery Set 2, Style: 6 Piece Discovery Set 2
Ordered this sample set to see which scent I liked best before committing to a whole bottle. Honestly none of them were a favorite or a scent I would want a whole bottle of. I liked the 11 11 out of all of them. The Midnight was the worst and I felt like it didn't fit the rest of the scents, it was very strong. I also wouldn't order any of these because the scent is not long lasting, or atleast it isn't on me.

Belgian Malinois approved
Size: Large
This ball was the perfect choice for my 8 month old Belgian Malinois. Should last for years so far it has survived all her chewing needs. It’s the perfect size so I don’t have to worry about her swallowing it.

Good chew toy for an aggressive chewing dog
Size: Large
Well built for an aggressive chewing dog. I wouldn't say indescribable but it has lasted longer than all other chew toys he's had.
