This is app is chaotic and weird now. or is it just me?

I haven’t even glanced at it in months but what’s the deal with the random celeb promos and inexplainable high end fashion recs. It just feels uncool and antithetical to what made this space feel different before. “maybe your profile can be featured right there next to Olivia Rodigro” bro I don’t give a flying fuck.

Being so obsessed with this app that you get spotlighted even though you‘ve made 30+ posts with sort of similar vibes

hope you like 80s jangle pop and 90s TV and 2024 Los Angeles because that’s what you’re getting

brands have become identity

i think before tiktok or instagram there was a more homogeneous idea about what was cool bc magazines had a monopoly on the industry. now that the internet has democratized what gets to be cool there are different types of cool, which is the rise of different competing styles. but these styles aren’t really just about like “do you like low rise jeans” so much as they are “what do the low rise jeans say about you” which has caused a lot of aesthetics to be simultaneously tied to a specific identity, in turn marketing and influencing has become increasingly niche. i think that certain influencers becoming enmeshed in their aesthetics hasn’t helped either where if, for example, tara yummy recommended an eyeliner the goth girls would eat it up, but the clean girls might not care, bc that eyeliner would be contrary to not just their aesthetic, but identity. but if tara yummy was emily mariko the opposite effect would happen to both camps, if that makes sense. TLDR; niche aesthetics and microindivduality is killing mass marketing

upsetting things i want to rant about dgaf

1- why is attractiveness politics at an all time high? punishing people for being 'ugly', undressed and unmakeup-ed. feel like this is common af amongst all the young people regardless of gender (this is def not a girls only issue). also. since when did being sexless mean you were evil and a soulfully rotten person? 2- ED culture is back in full swing and i don't even need to really explainnnn why it's so bad...we know its bad! but we lowkey don't care. 3- I can't even imagine growing up Indian these days. I know these kids have it way worse than when I was a child- which I didn't even know was possible. Maybe my tiktok algorithm is just trying to fearmonger me but idk...i'm seeing some crazy levels of hatred abuse and bullying... 4- why is everyone so cool with this uptick in freakdrug culture...like its an objective truth that you shouldn't recreationally do GHB (at all) or ketamine and coke every single day. you guys are getting dumb, weird, addicted and therefore irritable and suckish. 5- people are just..getting meaner in the name of coolness and cuntiness...
