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...

this is all super off the cuff but i think the "rise" of snark is also possibly partially due to:
-covid isolation depriving all of us of a normal level of gossip-producing social interaction and opportunities for petty gossip, so some people sought it out on the internet, see also the rise of podcasts like normal gossip
-as the digital panopticon has increased (eg., tiktoks people make of strangers?? in public??), our own reflexive self-critique and awareness has increased. being in online forums where people have some level of anonymity allows them to feel a level of escape from this and succumb to the behaviors that they now fear doing in public spaces. AND we cant ever really escape the judgments of the panopticon (plenty of which are aesthetic or normative judgments rather than moral ones) so people in these anonymous spaces still turn to the same judgments
-last thought is even more underbaked than the others but i think there's something to the younger generations being the first ones who grew up with influencers as part of the culture since adolescence

Man, the white girls of my youth are all either travel/beach club influencers or meditation/life coaches/yoguis and Iām FED UP.
Literally people turn to this type of shit and forget they were once, normal people eating McDonalds and snorting coke.
Suddenly is al āhealthā, āloveā, and more bullshit like that since nobody can afford those types of lifestyles if theyāre not privileged AF.
Also, the obsession some white women have with beaches, swimsuits, matcha and journaling is insane.
Like I journal but in a cool sleazy way, not in an introspective/self help/self improvement kinda way.
And no, I donāt have the energy to meditate, journal and do yoga BEFORE 9 am.

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 arenāt really just about like ādo you like low rise jeansā so much as they are āwhat do the low rise jeans say about youā 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 hasnāt 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
