MacKenzie Thomas Is The E-Girl Supreme<\/h1>\n
\n

She doesn\u2019t believe in \u201coversharing.\u201d She isn\u2019t afraid of her digital footprint. And she may have just inspired Justin Bieber\u2019s Coachella performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Mackenzie Thomas<\/a> is the kind of person you feel like you already know, without knowing why.<\/p>\n

When I first encounter Thomas IRL, she\u2019s posted up on a bench in Brooklyn\u2019s Maria Hernandez Park, recounting tales of unrestricted childhood Internet access and formerly running a Bill Hader fan page. She is actively keeping an eye out for the elusive \u201ctea guy\u201d from whom she often purchases homemade concoctions and has subsequently befriended as a result of her frequenting the Bushwick hub. Her trademark brunette bob and baby bangs are in perfect tact, the relics of a signature silver manicure glinting. She seems to know everyone in her Brooklyn enclave: friends materialize midsentence, strangers become acquaintances, acquaintances become lore. Her cadence is shaped by poetic eloquence and her humor is meme-ably sharp, constantly flickering between confession and punchline.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s a lot of mystique to me. If you want to know what\u2019s up with me, it\u2019s all online,\u201d says Thomas. \u201cI am not being anybody but myself, so if you f*ck with what I\u2019m doing, we\u2019ll probably become friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though we\u2019ve only met briefly in person, I, like many, feel well-acquainted with her presence thanks to her primary stage: the Internet. \u201cTruly, I\u2019m an e-girl,\u201d she says matter-of-factly. \u201cI have a true love of the game. The game being the Internet.\u201d<\/p>\n

To the less chronically online, it\u2019s difficult to pinpoint what exactly Thomas does, because she is renowned for her mere existence. She reads her melodramatic teenage journal entries<\/a> on TikTok. She dances alone in photobooth videos<\/a>. She lip-syncs to music<\/a> on city streets with a 4-foot selfie stick. She waxes poetic on her own introspections<\/a> via Substack. And she tweets<\/a>\u2026 a lot<\/em>. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe most ever present forces in the universe are God, air, and the Internet,\u201d says Thomas without hesitation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Along the way, the 27-year-old creator has racked up hundreds of thousands of followers across platforms and generated a fan base that projects its own fragmented experiences of girlhood onto her, admiring her uninhibited humanity online.<\/p>\n

Is it performance art? No. Is it TikTok diarism? Well, not exactly that, either. From her first introduction at 8 years old to YouTube from a \u201cscene babysitter,\u201d to viral TikToks documenting her Goodwill employee era in L.A. and the gradual accumulation of a distinctly self-authored online mythology, Thomas has resisted clean categorization aided by her instinctual documentation. The varied content that persists is underscored by pure wit, delivered with the ease of someone who has been narrating her own life long before anyone else was watching.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had the urge to perform my whole life,\u201d says Thomas. \u201cI was really lonely as a younger person, and I had nobody to have inside jokes with, so I started having inside jokes with myself and posting them online. Now I have a bunch of inside jokes with people I\u2019ll never know, and that\u2019s such a blessing.\u201d These include self-referential bits alluding to her fictional corporation, Mackenzie Thomas Industries; her love for Robert Pattinson; New Jersey state pride; and the term \u201cplayboy\u201d to describe manipulative men she knows, folded back into her own canon in classic e-girl form.<\/p>\n
