This is SEARCH HISTORY, your deep dive into the online habits of our favorite creatures of the internet. From preferred stalking platforms and private browsing habits, to the social accounts we should all know about, we slide into the DMs and ask all your burning questions.

Meet Griffin Maxwell Brooks. The Princeton diver and self-described “digital club kid bimbo” has made a name for themself by documenting Gen Z’s party scene from the inside out. Brooks posts daily OOTD videos and snarky monologues on TikTok for the viewing pleasure of their more than one million followers, and has come by their party girl reputation honestly. The 21-year-old regularly co-hosts events with the nightlife icon Susanne Bartsch, and was recently dubbed “freaky spiderman” for their dancefloor antics by Anderson .Paak at a Met Gala after party. We slid into the club kid’s DMs for a chat about Dolly Parton, himbos, porn, boys, and parties.
