The dancehall deejays of the 1980s and ’90s who refined the practice of “toasting” (rapping over instrumental tracks) were heirs to reggae’s politicization of music. These deejays influenced the emergence of hip-hop music in the United States and extended the market for reggae into the African American community. At the beginning of the 21st century, reggae remained one of the weapons of choice for the urban poor, whose “lyrical gun,” in the words of performer Shabba Ranks, earned them a measure of respectability.

Later, many of the people who checked in on me that day, who'd been those "imaginary" online friends, became the people who introduced me to my wife, who greeted my child, who held me when I grieved, who rejoiced as we built careers and lives together.
Anil Dash in a #2001/09/11 remembrance post describing how online 'imaginary' friends became a core part of his social life over time. This is true for me/us too, and I think something tied to that time of early blogging and the meet-ups and events that emerged from it. Vgl [[Building community out of strangers – Tracy Durnell]] and [[Nancy White]]'s birthday party in Seatlle in '08 when her neighbours greeted me as 'ooh you're one of her imaginary friends'

The coming decades would not be about gatekeeping or rigid disciplinary boundaries or exclusivity, Anderson said. The future was about openness, connection, democratization of knowledge, collectivity.
Was it not? I broadly see 2000-2010 as exploring the early potential of the internet, without major cultural problems (but ending with the financial crisis).
