That's a pretty perfect way to phrase it, Americans word it like that too.

Dark Academia looks like a framework for a Portlandia sketch

You consume in such 3-dimensional ways. How small you have become
Dark Academia is depthless fashion look, more akin to cottagecore and steampunk. At least with the 70s/80s goths you had futile existentialism to go along the mascara and terrible hairdos. I don't hate it but it is clearly corpo-driven as hell.

Nothing says "I'm here for the job interview" quite like grandma's sweater and combat boots.

I believe they are all telling the truth, and the third one shows pictures inside the Google NYC office, though they will be broke at their salary levels and spending shown in those videos. $167 per day is $61k per year in post tax dollars, not including rent, utilities and other things. A recent grad at Goldman Sachs, a “consultant” at a big consulting firm, and a recruiter at Google (what you thought she was a programmer? She talked about recruiting two people who followed her (on TikTok/Twitter?) to a diversity program) do not make enough much money to support their lifestyles.
Using levels.fyi as a source (pretty accurate for jobs I have firsthand knowledge of):
Investment Bank Analyst at GS pays $145k and a Recruiter at Google pays $133k. After taxes, rent, student loans, and the aforementioned spending they have no money left over.
Both of those companies have large portions of their compensation as stock or bonuses. These people in the video are literally spending more than their salary on daily life and relying on getting a good bonus or their company’s stock doing well to not go bankrupt. If they got promoted they’d make more money, but I’m sure their spending would rise to match. This is what “living paycheck to paycheck” looks like for a lot of people.

If you think dark academia is stupid, then you should see darker academia. There's an entire wiki about aesthetics (which probably has their own lolcows if the Nazi chic page is any indication). Yes, there's a page about dark academia and it's as dumb as it sounds.

Versace grifting it again, and it's really tacky.

These fashions don't even read academia. More like Nursing Home that only receives Medicaid. And hell at least those ladies pick clothes that fit properly.

Eating local fast food is a way to actually experience a country more than the sanitized tourist traps. If you think about it, it's surprisingly authentic experience.
Zubrowka (the Polish vodka with the grass in the bottles) gets sticky if you don't wash out the shotglass, which is probably related to whatever they put in it that gives it that almost sweet taste. At least I think, haven't had it in a while and maybe I had put something else in the shotglass that made it sticky. Is that what the poster meant? Is it cool and romantic to be drunk enough you don't remember exactly what you drank? Sounds like a different aesthetic lol
Is there a darkest academia? Is that like the goth chicks on a college campus?

You folks saying academics don't dress like that have clearly never fucked around with the girls who do full time lab work. It's either this shit or they look homeless, possibly both at the same time. Perils of having a PI who almost literally owns your ass.

The funny part of why Donatella Versace sold the brand to the owners Michael Kors. Is so it could reach its biggest potential.
I don't know, it has gone down drastically since then.
If you actually use it, it's going to fade and get scratches. So it's more for the larpers.

The whole video just feels like its them play-pretending to be adults. "First, heres me eating my sophisticated adult breakfast, Next, I commute to work with other adults to do my important big girl job while dressed in my fancy adult clothes. Then I do my adulting at work..."Just. I love how the first two start off by saying "I'm in my early twenties and I work a fancy job in a fancy company", and then mention having classes in passing, also the first girl's notes clearly looked like a student's notes. No way in hell you have such a job at such a company in your early fucking twenties. They are student interns at best.
These girls understanding of the world comes from shitty romantic movies where the young woman moves to the big city to find love.

Is there a hard line standard, dollar value, or percentage for officially a "Consoomer"? I've been referred to as one simply for having my old Game Boy I've had since I got it as a Christmas present in 89 and a miniature Joust arcade cabinet game I won in a White Elephant game at a party.
