Xero Gravity

Xero Gravity, a genre journalist and media personality with a strong focus on horror, sci-fi, and dark fantasy, says she’s always loved fandom culture. “It gave me the greatest escape and the ability to think critically—comparing and contrasting my own life to the dramatic lives of the characters I followed in genre entertainment,” she tells GO. Variety recognized her as one of their top 30 most influential voices in horror in 2025. Gravity curates content and drives diverse fan engagement across live events, digital platforms, and the club. She says, “My drive to make those spaces more abundant and accessible is what moves me. We can all be better when our theories and opinions on pop culture can be heard and challenged by people who share a common hobby and life perspective.” When faced with adversity, Gravity says, “The identities that classify me as marginalized bleed into all of my work, especially outside of February and June…I know I can always rely on my network of diverse journalists, filmmakers, content creators, and programmers to hold me down. It’s the responsibility that we all have to each other that keeps the wheels turning.” She’s also a proud product of New York. “I spawned in the West Village of Manhattan in the late ’90s, only a few blocks from Stonewall. The loving righteousness of the community I was born into gave me a huge head start into activism by way of media literacy, education, and fellowship.” —SS
