And thatвЂ™s where the love for meeting people and having that deep connection with your friends started, I guess.вЂќ

I made videos by myself.вЂќ On his career trajectory, he says, вЂњI started to grow my internet popularity through social media and TikTok and just hanging out and meeting people, I guess. Here, he gives an emotional interview about his childhood in northern California, which he explains was difficult because вЂњI had no one to collaborate with.

Throughout the series, HudsonвЂ™s character can only be described as a punk Ryan Lochte, showing up to his camera confessionals in indoor sunglasses and answering questions in barely audible grunts, while the rest of the Hype House gets annoyed at him for either not doing anything or being too full of himself.ДЄ post shared by Chase Hudson meet Hudson at his mansion in Encino, whose interior decor is mocked incessantly as вЂњlowkey looking like a Cheesecake FactoryвЂќ (it does). Hudson is the most compelling person on the show not because he has much in the way of interesting remarks, but because of his utter lack thereof. The most entertaining character weвЂ™re introduced to is Chase Hudson, the 19-year-old ur-TikTok e-boy who, after spending his high school years preening for his smartphone camera on earlier livestreaming and video apps, has since pivoted to pop-punk rocker. Outside the house but still connected with the group, thereвЂ™s 22-year-old Larray Merritt, a queer biracial creator whose fans revolted when he joined the Hype House because of its general straightness, whiteness, and cringiness, and Nikita Dragun, a trans woman and beauty creator who describes the Hype House as вЂњa fucking mess.вЂќ Those who live in the actual mansion include Alex Warren, a 20-year-old who says he spends between $50,000 to $70,000 a month on YouTube prank videos his girlfriend Kouvr Annon, who absolutely hates being the butt of said pranks Vinnie Hacker, an 18-year-old thirst trap TikToker whoвЂ™s the buzziest of the bunch but also seems to have a pretty serious anger issue and three other sweatshirted, floppy-haired white guys who fill the roles of вЂњjust happy to be includedвЂќ despite never actually contributing. The problem here is that the Hype House has been hemorrhaging its most famous members since practically the beginning, and at this point (filming took place in early 2021) most of whatвЂ™s left are the members who havenвЂ™t become famous enough to break out on their own. In fact, the only ambition they seem to share is having a Netflix show, and ironically, being in the Hype House is the only way to get one. This, ultimately, is the overarching dramatic tension of the series: Petrou versus the handful of other members who are either too complacent or too focused on their own projects to film the content that makes the collective money. HeвЂ™s the self-described вЂњdadвЂќ of the group, and also the only one who seems to care about the fate of the Hype House at all.

And when you get a taste of fame and decide you want more of it, you move to LA.ДЄ post shared by Hype House whole goal with this house in the first place was: Why canвЂ™t people who hit millions of other people be as famous as A-list celebrities?вЂќ says Thomas Petrou, the 22-year-old co-founder of the collective, in his first moment on screen. TikTok, at that point, only had a handful of stars to break out beyond the app - the Hype HouseвЂ™s Charli DвЂ™Amelio, Addison Rae, and DвЂ™AmelioвЂ™s boyfriend Chase Hudson among them - but within the app itself, more and more teenagers started growing their audiences to hundreds of thousands, then millions, of followers. It was part of a wave of Los Angeles social media mansions to pop up in the first half of 2020, all with the same purpose: to use each otherвЂ™s clout to build more of it.

Almost exactly two years ago, a splashy feature in the New York Times introduced the arrival of the Hype House, a collective of mostly white, attractive teenagers who had recently become famous on an app that was only just beginning to be part of the national lexicon. To understand whatвЂ™s going on in this bizarre, entirely-uneventful-but-also-sort-of-fascinating television show, itвЂ™s important to know why it exists in the first place.
