>>6694303right now the hip thing to do is fashionable, respectable intellectual that is hip and 'in' while still being adult and aloof.
Sick gnarly play it loud 'parents don't understand' rebellion that was often also kinda silly is now contrasted by a serious, 'self-aware' cool. They're kinda stealth emos and older teens/youngadult larpers that want to be seen pulling off lookis in the latest vogue rather than ramping their skateboard over their angry neighbours flowerbeds while pulling off a sick guitarsolo.
Kids always look up to what they think is aldult, or revolt against it. I mostly think it's a combination of them looking up to an older generation where it was cool to be 'ironic' and distanced from things, but also mixed with facebook style social-media that revolves around self-advertising. The more you genuinely advertise yourself as really liking a thing, the easier it becomes to get flak for it. So staying aloof and in the middle liking things generally under the label of respected/adult/serious is the safest option.
Kids genuinely liking vogue and hypebeast fashion is fine, but the weird self-advertising, social and peerpressure i'm worried about. I'm afraid it will inhibit people really diving into the things they like.
