San Diego Comic-Con sits at the top of Thrasher Magazine's nearest neighbor set — at 0.76, it outpaces every other entity in the top 10, and no other magazine appears anywhere in the group. The audience shape here bridges two distinct neighborhoods: a pop-culture and entertainment cluster anchored by Comic-Con, and a looser set of musicians, footwear brands, and music labels.
The shape is two-peak, and the split is legible in the scores. The first cluster runs through Zack Snyder (0.74) and James Gunn (0.72) — both directors — alongside Disneyland Resort (0.71) as a destination brand, pointing toward an audience with strong overlap in franchise entertainment and fan-convention culture. The second cluster pulls toward music: Epitaph Records (0.70) as a music label, and footwear brands NIKE SB (0.67) and Vans in the wider set. Bridging both is The Burger Den (0.70) and Denny's (0.68) — QSR and casual dining — which appear mid-table and suggest a broad, non-niche consumer profile running underneath both clusters.
Subcategory-wise, the top 10 spans directors, artists, destinations, a QSR, a music label, a sports team, casual dining, a film studio, a TV show, and a footwear brand — no single subcategory dominates, and Thrasher's own subcategory (Magazines) has no match in the top 10. The Los Angeles Dodgers (0.69) and Attack of the Show (0.67) round out a set that is more cross-kind than same-kind in almost every direction.
The overall picture is an audience that reads as male-skewing pop-culture enthusiasts with one foot in fan-convention entertainment and another in music and skate-adjacent consumer brands — held together less by a single identity than by a shared cultural register.
