评分I have never read a book so disorganized, and it looks to me the author didn't even try to make a point. It's just many stories+arguments, all about popular culture products, piled together. But there is no central theme. In the end, you still have no idea ...

Nothing “goes viral.” If you think a popular movie, song, or app came out of nowhere to become a word-of-mouth success in today’s crowded media environment, you’re missing the real story. Each blockbuster has a secret history—of power, influence, dark broadcasters, and passionate cults that turn some new products into cultural phenomena. Even the most brilliant ideas wither in obscurity if they fail to connect with the right network, and the consumers that matter most aren't the early adopters, but rather their friends, followers, and imitators -- the audience of your audience.
In his groundbreaking investigation, Atlantic senior editor Derek Thompson uncovers the hidden psychology of why we like what we like and reveals the economics of cultural markets that invisibly shape our lives. Shattering the sentimental myths of hit-making that dominate pop culture and business, Thompson shows quality is insufficient for success, nobody has "good taste," and some of the most popular products in history were one bad break away from utter failure. It may be a new world, but there are some enduring truths to what audiences and consumers want. People love a familiar surprise: a product that is bold, yet sneakily recognizable.
Every business, every artist, every person looking to promote themselves and their work wants to know what makes some works so successful while others disappear. Hit Makers is a magical mystery tour through the last century of pop culture blockbusters and the most valuable currency of the twenty-first century—people’s attention.
From the dawn of impressionist art to the future of Facebook, from small Etsy designers to the origin of Star Wars, Derek Thompson leaves no pet rock unturned to tell the fascinating story of how culture happens and why things become popular.
In Hit Makers, Derek Thompson investigates:
· The secret link between ESPN's sticky programming and the The Weeknd's catchy choruses
· Why Facebook is the world’s most important modern newspaper
· How advertising critics predicted Donald Trump
· The 5th grader who accidentally launched "Rock Around the Clock," the biggest hit in rock and roll history
· How Barack Obama and his speechwriters think of themselves as songwriters
· How Disney conquered the world—but the future of hits belongs to savvy amateurs and individuals
· The French collector who accidentally created the Impressionist canon
· Quantitative evidence that the biggest music hits aren’t always the best
· Why almost all Hollywood blockbusters are sequels, reboots, and adaptations
· Why one year--1991--is responsible for the way pop music sounds today
· Why another year --1932--created the business model of film
· How data scientists proved that “going viral” is a myth
· How 19th century immigration patterns explain the most heard song in the Western Hemisphere
听书。1.时尚动力学。时尚的内在规律是人们对一个东西的社会流行度的反应。有些人因为流行而喜欢,有些人因为流行而反对,大多数人选择“毕竟熟悉但又不是特别流行的东西”--熟悉而又有点意外--结果它们引领了流行。

评分读了3/4突然读不下去了......然后发现读了的内容其实都知道
评分Fun anecdotes and stories of how some recent cultural phenomena got so popular but lack insights partially because there's no formula of making hits as the author recognizes himself. A few general rules: Most Advanced Yet Acceptable, repetitive exposure, and using influencers to distribute.
评分一个合适的创新(不能太前卫也不能太保守),一个有大量消费者的平台,加上重复曝光的流行假象,走红是必然的。这会是流行“热点”,但不一定是“经典”。
