The History of Subcultures Through Media and Devices

First released: 24 May 2023 | To join New Models, find us via https://patreon.com/newmodels & https://newmodels.substack.com Joining this episode is Ben Solomon aka King Solomon aka KSER IRAK. Born and raised in downtown New York, Ben is an artist, filmmaker, and part of the legendary graffiti crew IRAK, which is to say a legendary part of the history of the city itself. We’ve wanted to have Ben on the show forever (in part because he and Lil Internet have known each other forever) but also because few besides Ben are better positioned to share stories about the social media that IS New York—both pre- and post-internet—and how it changed the way the downtown NYC works.
