What is After School?
Daily links 'n things about youth culture and Gen Z consumer trends.
When should you expect to hear from me?
I send a short newsletter Monday through Thursday, and a longer, highly opinionated (euphemism for “extremely” “meandering”) digest on the weekends for my very, very special paid subscribers.
Don’t want to get so many emails a week?
You can subscribe to the weekends only by going here (that’s afterschool.substack.com/account) and unchecking “daily.” Just make sure to leave “extra credit” checked.
Who even am I?
I’m Casey Lewis. I used to be an editor at Teen Vogue, MTV, and New York Magazine, and I started a media company for Gen Z, which was acquired by another media company for Gen Z (which was then acquired by another media company for Gen Z). I’ve been obsessed with youth culture forever. In fact, I own more than 200 teen magazines and run a meme account about it.
