That’s what Nicklas Hermansson shared when TikTok hosted Top Table in Stockholm. The journalist behind the acclaimed trend newsletter NomoFomo Insights believes we’re only at the beginning of “The Creative Revolution” and emphasized the importance of developing your own taste and style. What do you actually like?
In an increasingly automated and generic world shaped by algorithms, it’s easy to lose sight of who you are. So how do we stay relevant and interesting? After all, that’s the most valuable currency today.
Here’s Nicklas’ step-by-step guide:
Learn what works for you - but also when to use tech, and when not to.
In an automated and increasingly generic world, creativity and the ability to innovate are human superpowers. So don’t just say you’ll invest your newfound time in creativity - actually do it.
To be creative, you need to know what you like. Voltaire said it best:
“In order to have taste, it is not enough to see and to know what is beautiful in a given work. One must feel beauty and be moved by it.”
This is how you discover yourself - and this is how you become interesting, which is the ultimate currency in a digital world driven by engagement and likes.
Dare to ignore the algorithm and make your own conscious content choices. Don’t just go to museums - try to put your feelings into words. Create more than you consume, and challenge yourself to read, watch, or listen to content that feels unfamiliar. Things you don’t immediately love. You grow as a person when your frame of reference expands.
