Sipping on a gin and tonic as I castigate my son for wearing long pants before the age of twenty. He asks me when he can see his mother- who is also my cousin- again, and I remind him not to ask about her, because I don't know how to say that my uncle and I had her lobotomized and put in a hospital for crying too much. I send him back to boarding school for another six months as I head to my job as an executive for a large chemical company that my grandfather got me, overseeing South American mining operations. Upon hearing that a newly-elected government wants to levy a tax on our mining profits and institute an eight hour work day, I call up my old Skull And Bones chums who work for Zapata Oil and Air America, ask if there's anything they can do to help, and they promise they'll look into it. I will drink nine more gin and tonics throughout the day before switching to bourbon. Old Money Life.
I remember after Hillary lost and there were all these "but is she OK?" articles in the lib media. A journalist followed her around one day, and observed that she drank Chardonnay all day but at sundown switched to gin & tonics.
I always thought that was pretty classy ngl.
Apparently something like 71% of UK people say they would be okay with their child coming out as trans, but the media constantly portrays trans women as predators there. It can't be stated enough how out of touch virtually everyone with a mainstream media job are.
If you want to have all your prejudices confirmed, and even discover new ones, just visit Social Media. Social Media, where you're fed truly representative samples of every demographic so that you know the correct way in which to judge them.
Social Media, when you absolutely, positively, must generalize everyone in the room. It's reality unfiltered.
🙄 old money and new money are not style designations and anyone using them that way doesn't get either
maybe middle class white kids who can afford that aesthetic,, but nobody I know is like that pfff
I'm happier this way anyways, it feels like I leave a much smaller pollution trail if I never or very rarely buy new clothes. The garment industry is also has essentially slave labor with abhorrent working conditions. Pretty much just only buy what I'll wear and love at second hand stores and wear em out
Every single article about youth trends is just "something my cousin and her friend muttered at me before they rolled their eyes and laughed".
Generation alpha will be based though
The "Dad what were animals?" generation.
Only 2000s kids remember these 🤪🤣🤣

Yeah definitely sounds like a generational thing and not a result of the people you are talking about being literal children whose politics are nowhere close to being settled.
Anyone that uses "gen z" and not "zoomers" doest know what they're talking about.
I'm gen z. I have no idea what the fuck "zoomer" is supposed to mean and it sounds dumb.
probably something to do with "no attention span, hyperactive" or something.
I don't know I'm older gen z and I'll stick with my washed up punk rocker look for life smh😤😤😤. Leather jackets, denim jackets, jeans and cool hairstyles will never go out of style!!!11
Punk fashion hasn't really changed since the late 80s so you can just get stuff and stick with it
True true. In the 90s they made the major breakthrough (lol) of adding plaid patterned clothing, but that's considered grunge.
And the people that did that were either posers or played powerviolence.
plaid bondage pants were a thing since the 1970s. the flannel shirt is not punk it's grunge
Pretty much no actual punks have worn plaid bondage pants since the late 70s. Incredibly decrepit and patched up black jeans have been the go to for a while.
They're also like one step more underground than NOFX. Also the singer for the casualties was a known pedophile even in the 90s and real punks have wanted nothing to do with them for a bit. If they tried to play here they'd get the shit beat out of them.
the flannel shirt is not punk it’s grunge
I mean I kinda said that. The whole commemt was a joke
I don't know what world the people writing drivel like this lives in. It looks nice and easy but it has nothing to do with the bullshit facing the rest of us.
Given the chance to write drivel for 80k+bennies, then you could catch me writing about the how seamstresses are ruining international clothing supply chains.
Some of it is just search engine fodder/filler i.e shit that is just supposed to match popular keywords and hopefully rank on Google search and/or get link spammed on social media and bring traffic. I'd like to think that while some are delusional enough to fully buy into the shit they write for others it is just like writing a fiction novel, in the end who cares about the truth.
"Gen Z is doing something they're demonstrably not doing! Here's a photo of someone who is too old to be part of gen Z doing that thing."
These articles are really weird. "Look at how many people are doing [insert thing no one does]!"
look, these are important choices for an affluent person who needs to think about their perceived position in the social hierarchy. perhaps we could allow them a range of styles for the basket that catches their head
