On my flight to Chicago this morning, I was scanning through the official Democratic convention background guide for reporters. It’s nothing newsy, just a big planning guide to the coming four days and attendant events, including a “DemPalooza” venue where Democrats can get Kamala Harris-style manicures and make friendship bracelets. The guide is mostly just on-message press release stuff—certainly no mentions of the Gaza march nearby or the Planned Parenthood bus offering free vasectomies—but a few factoids did catch my eye.

There will be more than 5,000 delegates in Chicago this week, but they aren’t the same old faces. Roughly 700 of the delegates have never attended a convention before, and almost a quarter of attendees will be under the age of 36. Forget that famous Macarena video from the 1996 convention in Chicago—this week you’re more likely to see Democrats in the United Center doing the Apple Dance. That, and a brigade of hundreds of young digital creators broadcasting the convention to their followers on Instagram, Snapchat, Twitch, and TikTok. (As someone covering the festivities for both Snapchat and Puck, I walked into the media registration center and chuckled to one of the volunteers that I could probably check in at both the “Press” table and the “Creator” table. I have finally achieved content creation singularity.)
