We are status seeking monkeys, as Eugene Wei says.

Brands manufacture scarcity (and status) to drive sales.

Constricting supply amplifies word of mouth. Everyone talks. Those who were able to get it, missed it and hate it. They spread the word.

Drop culture has moved from fashion to software and experiences.

Don’t have a large audience? Constrict supply even more. A stadium is scarce for Taylor Swift. Your version may be a tiny desk.

“This is exclusionary.”

That’s the point. Drops fail without scarcity. They also subsidize art for the masses.

“It’s not all about status.”

Some of us find streetwear, art and experiences interesting without artificial scarcity. But this report is about drop culture. And those drawn to hype.
