the brains behind thred. are now publishing exclusive content on substack!

Welcome to The Common Thred, a newsletter and blog written by the brains behind Thred Media.

We’re a London-based, Gen Z media company that offers insights into everything from pop culture to the latest tech, fashion and wellness trends, and developments in social change.

While we’ve been publishing to our website for a little over four years now (to say that time flies makes us feel like we’re getting old!), we’re buzzing to embark on a new adventure to expand our content and grow our community further on Substack.

Our weekly newsletter – landing in your email inbox every Tuesday – will contain a curated mix of content from our website, plus the things we’re loving at the moment, from digital articles to podcasts, documentaries, book recommendations and more.

We’ll also be delivering regular pieces we’re currently calling ‘wildcards’, where our writers take a deep dive into anything and everything that’s being capturing our hearts and minds as of late. Expect cultural commentary, long-form musings, unique perspectives, and hopefully, a good laugh every now and then.

Like most things in life, we expect our content will change and evolve. We’re Gen Z after all, and the idea of being boxed in is a huge ick.

We hope you’ll join us on this experimental journey, and we’d love to hear from you!

xoxo,

The writers at thred.

Are dads more emotional?

Is there some ad hoc science to explain why I’ve become such a melt? I loathe my sudden inability to not become a snivelling mess. I’ve never been an outwardly emotional person, but I’m no tinman either. The best policy for me has always been to deal with stuff internally. Don’t make a fuss and don’t you dare draw attention to yourself. Healthy, right? It’s the typical case of working class lad grows...

A new generation is here

Welcome to the latest edition of The Gen Zer. This week’s newsletter is a quick guide to the generations, including the newest entrants to the scene. We also take a look at the pros of partying, the rise of ‘neijuan,’ and Gen Z’s surprising changing attitudes to work. Last week, the very first Gen Beta opened their eyes — at least, according to some estimations. There’s no centralised body that decides...

The next time I write to you, I’ll be back in London with the team at Thred who I’ve missed so much. Hopefully the end of 2024 offered the...
