Ahh…where should we begin? I guess the beginning makes the most sense. Jetcomx was born in October of 2007 when a clueless college undergrad bought the domain ‘jetcomx.com’ for no apparent rhyme or reason, other than the fact that it sounded semi-cool. At that time, the domain was online, but not doing a whole lot. When internet surfers cruised on over to ‘jetcomx.com’, they were greeted with a page full of broken links and malformed HTML. It was a travesty, and it pretty much stayed that way until April of 2008. It was at this point that inspiration and encouragement from friends caused ‘jetcomx.com’ to morph into Jetcomx. A blog style layout was implemented. A few crappy articles were posted. A staff of writers was picked up. We tested the waters and tried hard to make waves within the blogosphere with our unique style. It was during these first few months that our readership increased exponentially. We even made it onto the front page of Digg a couple of times. Our traffic improved from a measly 40 unique views per day to several thousand per day.

Fast forward to today. Currently, our goal is to provide the masses with a plethora of interesting, accurate information regarding urban streetwear fashion, indie rock and hip-hop music, hipster culture, and contemporary street art. We want to become that go to source of information that you’re obsessively checking more than Facebook, Twitter, and FML - combined. Jetcomx is constantly upgrading or improving something. The goal is to be better in some way, shape, or form than the day before. We try to target the high school, college, and just out of college crowd. With that being said, Jetcomx’s articles are written by young people between the ages of 18 to 35. We think that it makes the most sense to have young people write about experiences that our readers can relate to. Boo-yah.
