BrightestYoungThings is an online cocktail party for the interesting and interested. Our readers are the fast-wired journeymen of the new economy, constantly seeking out what is cool right now. It’s a never ending and fascinating field to keep up with and learn more about, and BYT is an interactive home for that quest. Just like anybody else, our readers want fun and love and are dumb and smart and mean and nice and intelligent and juvenile. We embrace their moods and obsessions and search for strange ways to entertain and inform them.
We are relentless and restless, and because of that one never knows exactly what to expect from BYT. We cover music and movies, comedy and books, cocktails, spelling bees, gossip and nightlife. Our writers and photographers work for the chance to inform, and be informed by, our audience, almost of all of whom are reading BYT because a friend told them to. It’s a personal, participatory experience for everyone involved. Relevant, accessible, and intimate, all at the same time.
feel free to contact us at: INFO@BRIGHTESTYOUNGTHINGS.COM
BYT was founded by friends Svetlana, Jason, Cale, and Erik. Libby and Dakota are now part of the team too, plus tons and tons of other contributors and interns who help out everyday. We mostly love each other and hug all the time… mostly.
Maybe someday we’ll have nice photos/bios/contact info for all the people who make BYT happen, but until then just read daily and don’t ask too many questions since we ourselves don’t know the answers.
