EP 34: LET THERE BE LIGHT (The Cobra Snake)

Before there was Instagram, there was Mark Hunter, AKA, THE COBRA
SNAKE, who made his name photographing the alt party scene of the
‘00s and relaying this coverage to his blog before people’s
hangovers could even hit. In turn, thecobrasnake.com, along with
American Apparel and Vice, became canon for high hipsterdom. For
older Millens, it also came to represent an era when signs,
language, and social protocol operated quite differently than they
do in the ‘20s. With Mark now making a book from his early-Y2Ks
archive—Cobrasnake: All Yesterday's Parties (forthcoming from
Rizzoli in 2022)—New Models chatted with him about his work past
and present and the changing terms of “social" media. For more:
