Gatsby is all about appearances, and so much of modern American culture is based on appearances. Social media makes it easy for people to present the best parts of their lives for the public to see. When Gatsby throws his parties he is doing it so Daisy can see how rich and popular he has become--it shows nothing of the person he is or how he is feeling.
