Rococo was the type of thing that got french nobles beheaded. Elites have learned not to flaunt so pompously since, now billionaires dress in sneakers and pretend to like Mcdonalds and anime.

I feel like decorating your child's room like this has got to cause some kind of mental retardation at the developmental stage, no? There are Norwegian Prisons that look more cheerful than this. Even the baby looks like she fucking hates it- there's nothing to look at, no mobile or bright colours or interesting lights. The way the poor thing (in her beige onesie? Jesus, why do they even make those) is lying there reminds me of that creepy foetus voldemort thing from the afterlife in Harry Potter.

Wanna see something cute? (I think it's cute, anyway.)

Men could at least get a TV tray if they're gonna live like that.

I think I have that exact TV tray. I fished it off a street corner and use it to hold a couple plants.

I hate women

Can't trick me. We still know, we just can't reach them.

That is adorable! I like that the playroom is very colourful, so the kid has the best of both. The parents seem super chill as well, wrestlers always seem like they have a sense of humour... I guess you have to, if your job is getting kicked in the head all day.

More videos for which I want people's thoughts:

First video is the reason why so many of these fuckers are broke, they think those $50 knickknacks dont add up.

It does.

Second video I don't understand why she says aesthetic if she's hispanics, should be 'estetica', but she's probably doing it to whore the algorithm.

Unfortunately, modern appliances in this style seem to be invariably produced out of the softest Chinese plastic, scratching and bending with the slightest force, and none of the robustness or charm of the iron tanks that were 50s appliances.

Old appliances were made of much thicker steel and werent painted but submerged whole in enamel so it wouldnt ever corrode.

But then people would have the same washer and refrigerator for 50 years instead of having to buy new ones, hence the change.

I like things that are clean and open, but you can achieve that same effect (for me anyway) without going balls-to-the-wall minimalist.
Some examples:
This is tagged as minimalist design, but it doesn't have the same straight lines and brings in more of the desert colors (whether or not you like the desert being a separate matter)
View attachment 4387844

But then you have stuff like this that even calls certain items "essentials" but if you were really living minimalistically, why would you need pampas grass?
View attachment 4387900

Moving to the desert and buying an overpriced drywall box in the middle of a terminal water crisis has to be the dumbest move ever. If anything this is the time to sell high and get out of dodge.

rich person has so much fucking money that they don't need to show it off and instead gain status by doing the opposite. Like steve jobs wearing that same shirt over and over but everyone knew he was obsenely rich so pretending to be humble was a form of power move, , its showing off by not showing off. Humblebragging.

Except Jobs clothes were all designer made, its typically the lowest cheapest tiers of a brand that have the logos featured so prominently because they know the poors want that to flex it to other poors.

Example: armani suit has the logo inside while an armani exchange tshirt has the logo all over it, because only trash buys those.

it has been a trend for a while,, zoomer club hoes wearing metal shirts .A lot of pop stars and celebs have done it. This too is a form of countersignaling.

I thought this was the "downtown girl" look since thats what I see in almost every city downtown now:

I've also seen one where someone shopped in things like a dildo and a catbox into the first image to make it a woman's apartment.

of course, they humblebrag but they are not actually humble. They'd be like, my humble zen living room, in a property that costs 10 million dollars and that little minimalist vase in the corner costs 100k. Its an even more pedantic way of ego tripping.

yes, thats the idea. When they use a metal shirt is not because they like metal, its because they think its the most uncool thing in the world and its such a peasant thing to wear that it humbles them but everyone knows who Lady Gaga an Miley Cirus are, its not your regular literally who girl from the block.

Flex culture is entirely a permapoor or new rich (and future poor) thing, rich people buy used bimmers with low miles because they don't want to be hit by the depreciation, meanwhile mr.flex buys new on installments losing a ton of money and has to sell for a pittance assuming he doesn't get repo'd.

Most rich people dont have the need to flex shit because everybody in their circle knows how much money they have. Only their dumb fuck kids like to flex and that's why family wealth only lasts 3 generations.

You're not getting the point I was making.

if they didn't need to flex they'd fire their PR team, go full private and stop wearing shirts from bands they don't like for photo ops.

What are you talking about? those celebs aren't flexing anything, they are just aging and want to stay relevant somehow so they copy whatever their agent tells them its trendy right now.

This isn't the version I saw, but it has the doodles in the right places. I wonder if this is the original doodle and then someone made the version I saw based off of this.

EWW

That was something I've noticed firsthand as well. It's easier to be "minimalistic" if you have more money or the ability to be supported by others.
e.g. If you are a renter in a furnished apartment, you don't need to own many things because you can just use your landlord's furniture and your roommate's appliances/cooking tools/etc.

This reminds me of the QOVES Studio video on female hairstyles:

TL;DW: What is being "featured" is the celebrity and their physical features, not the clothing. The clothing/hairstyle is primarily serving to highlight the person, and that's why who the person is and how beautiful they look matters so much.

#recessioncore

"Recession core" in this case means "i don't want to be fucking stabbed for wearing a Gucci logo or gold jewelery, and i act accordingly"
Also something i noticed for living in actual economic resections, when shit starts truly hitting the fan, poor's people clothes get more trashy. Very bright colors (so the factory can use that fabric in other products) a rising in graphic tees (insanely cheap and ready to made) and everything becomes nylon, lycra, and other plastic clothes (even denim becomes scarce) and most importantly, all clothes hace the same patterns. The same top, the same short, the same jacket in all stores with diferent colors or prints.

Spoiler: Bit of an off topic anecdote

I wanted a blouse for this summer. Since my style is a bit more formal i tend to avoid tank tops but i had already accepted that it would be cropped in some way, since thats the fashion here for my age rangue. Anyways i wanted nothing fancy, i wasnt going to bother with seaching it in a bigger city. I thought whatever was in my area would work just fine.
There it was literally no blouses, only tank tops. And it was the same tank tops everywhere, styled in the same way. I wasnt seaching for quality, or an specific pattern, just a blouse for a twenty-something. I gave up. In general you can't buy anything in this city anymore, even the silliest purchase means a trip to the capital, or seaching it online.

Thats what truly recession core means, at least for me. And I see a bit of that in the tiktoks posted here (bright colors, graphic tees, cheap materials, wearing anything normal is now a synonym of status) but still there is a lot of variety. I would believe that we're seeing a recession core once all the fashion influencers starts wearing literally the same thing in different colors, because the stores can only afford to bring a single pattern that they know it would sell.

Guys and gals, how would you describe your dresswear 'aesthetic'? Do you have one? I'd say mine is a mix between Chicano street-style, clean girl, and a early 2000's tomboy.

How would y'all describe your dwelling's aesthetic? Do you cater your place towards a specific look or do you do whatever and let it be?

Honestly, I didn't realize people went so hardcore on aesthetics until I downloaded Tiktok. Isn't it pointless when the trend is gonna change in a few years anyway? And how the fuck do people afford the furniture and look of everything? Everything is all matched, which has to be expensive. Getting new furniture and new clothes on constant isn't cheap. Maybe that's why everyone complains about being fucking broke on Tiktok, since they can't spend money properly.

My clothing style has been helpfully boiled down to its purest essence by the aesthetics wiki: https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/French_Girl

(although I haven’t ever figured out how to wear a beret without looking like a complete asshole)

But my interior style I don’t think can be summed up really. I don’t think I would enjoy trying to adhere to a strict style that way. I do appreciate the minimalist thing, partially because living in a very tiny apartment forces you to be picky about the items you amass. The one rule I’ve arbitrarily stuck to is that if I’m gonna have pop culture wall art, it has to be from a property that’s more than fifty years old.

 

[Xenomorph]

breh, if you stick to doing you with outfits eventually fashion comes right back round to you

 

[FatalTater]

My casual clothing style is, Rummaged Through The Goodwill Dumpster.
For formal events it's Why Would Your Grandparents Throw This Out with a dash of Party City.

Other people complain about homeless people asking them for money but I never have that problem.

 

[Cherry Eyed Hamster]

My clothing aesthetic (if you can call it that) is hand-sewn. I very rarely purchase mass-manufactured clothing unless I’m doing some thrift shopping. Learning to sew your own clothes with fabrics and patterns of choice is absolutely worth learning. I like vintage, fruit, and flower patterns for shirts and blouses. Match these with a pair of cuff jeans and a bandanna and you’ve got a rockabilly look.

 

[lightswitchdoll]

My clothing aesthetic is wearing whatever is clean and comfortable. I normally just wear jeans, t-shirts, trainers.

My home aesthetic is 'who left this fucking sock on the stairs why am I the only person who tidies up around here'.

I don't think I'm doing it right. I like the look of some of these clothing aesthetics but I'd feel like a twat so jeans and a t-shirt it is.

Vaporwave, on the other hand, I genuinely do enjoy. It's good music to have on in the background when I'm working and all my desktop/mobile backgrounds etc are A E S T H E T I C because that shit's cool.

Personally I just rip the hide and fur off any wild animal I cone across. Paleocore and Neandercore gets the ladies with the assistance of clubbing.

Nothing in my house matches. I got a (hideous) purple ultra decorated blanket thing (imagine 3 wolf gas station t shirt but butterflies) that was a gift and I hung it on my wall. I use the pictures from old calendars to make 12 pic collages on my walls too. I rent, and the paint and floors are a hideous poor quality medium gray. Countertops are an awful speckled brown. I hate it. Try to break up the gray and brown with literally anything else. I have 2 couches that are both second hand (first was never used still wrapped up, got from some older guy off nextdoor) and neither of them are remotely the same style or color. All my tables and shelves are from curbfinds that I cleaned up and none of them match, lol. I have a lot of small lamps and christmas lights around for the cozy evening lighting.

Honestly my place is hideous and I have no style lol. I also am in desperate need of a wardrobe update. I have 1 pair of nice dress pants and 1 shirt I could wear to a job interview.

But, I dont really care- everything in my house got there through unique channels and I just dont have the money to spend on 'nice' and cohesive furniture and decor. Kinda minimal kinda cluttered highly functional very cost effective. My main style I guess is cover up all the horrible "renter's gray" paint on everything, even the fireplace.
