    John Mayer is many things. He's a man. He's a myth. He's a legend. He's also the subject of a Taylor Swift song. But who is John Mayer, really? We did some soul searching/investigative journalism to answer this important question, and came up with several scientific* discoveries.

    *These discoveries are not at all scientific.

    Because in case you missed it, his website is selling these bad boys. They have morse code on them, so if you don't read morse code already please educate yourself for the sake of John, what are you even doing?!?!?!

    He's Also a Lifestyle Vlogger

    A lot of photos like this are happening, and frankly, the thought of John Mayer using an old-timey typewriter whilst wearing a tiny-sleeved jacket is a joy.

    Lest you forget, John filmed an entire Snapchat tutorial of his facial routine. He spent $1,422, and our brave beauty editor Lauren Valenti was so inspired that she recreated the entire thing.

    Hold Up, He Designs Eyewear

    A post shared by John Mayer 💎 (@johnmayer)

    Turns out John "quietly relaunched" an entire company while the rest of us were at home deciding whether or not to eat that third slice of cake.

    And He's a Professional Cave Photographer...Or Something

    A post shared by John Mayer 💎 (@johnmayer)

    All we know is that John has a lot of feelings on caves. All the feelings. No, like, go ahead and put away your own cave-related feelings because John has them all.

    And Duh, He's a Gamer

    A post shared by John Mayer 💎 (@johnmayer)

    Nothing to see here, totally normal amount of money to spend, moving on.

    And a Poet

    A post shared by John Mayer 💎 (@johnmayer)

    The Ghost of Shakespeare is so proud.

    And an Innovator in FaceTune:

    A post shared by John Mayer 💎 (@johnmayer)

    What is this magic?

    And Finally, He's a Man Who Posed as a Horse on Tinder

    A post shared by John Mayer 💎 (@johnmayer)

    Like, not WITH a horse. AS a horse. No further comment necessary about John's inter-species experiments.

    Okay, so that was a lot of discoveries and we still have zero answers. But after much deliberation, our working hypothesis is that John Mayer can't be defined, and doesn't fit into a box. Let's all agree to never put him in one.
