**Creator Economy**

[Sound.xyz highlights:](https://sound.mirror.xyz/WG9dOUMpICI3hkdeXakuZ9G-W_MhHcFkIMLIygQ4cao) Released 20 NFT drops. $200,000 for 20 independent artists, equivalent to 60 million streams. Tove Lo joined Pussy Riot on a release that went through [sound.xyz](http://sound.xyz/). Listening parties seem to be a thing of focus, as is claiming your seat in a virtual audience. Would expect them to be continuing to experiment around what they what works and what doesn't based on creator and fan feedback.

**Audience: Gen-Z**

Well worth a read. [This article](https://www.dazeddigital.com/life-culture/article/55120/1/2021-was-the-year-the-millennial-meme-died-devil-wears-prada-actual-villain) from Dazed on the same theme is also a good compliment on how gen-z mock Millennials for supposedly being overly corporate, among other things. Gen Z are more likely to have the mindset that work is simply labor, rather than a person’s entire identity.

**Web3 to Web2**

Twitter now lets subscribers ($2.99 / month) use NFTs as their profile pics. Subscribers can now connect a crypto wallet to their profiles, and display any NFTs they own in their profile. Validated NFT prof pics are distinguished from non-crypto ones with by the shape of their avatars: a hexagon, rather than the traditional circle.
