Are You A ‘Clean Girl’ Or ‘That Girl’ Or Do You Just Have No Personality?
#cleangirlaesthetic #thatgirlaesthetic #overconsumption
TikTok’s neverending hamster wheel of aesthetics such as the ‘clean girl,’ ‘that girl,’ ‘mob wife,’ ‘coastal grandmother,’ ‘cottagecore,’ or ‘tomato girl’ may be a symptom of Gen Z’s identity crisis. These aesthetic trends are often rooted in overconsumption, consumerism and commodifying everyday life. In this video, I discuss the social implications of these trends and how it’s shaping identities in problematic ways.

    If you dont want to have to work to live, you must want to own slaves lmao. Your food, your cleaned water, your clothes come from somewhere. If you don't want to work for someone else, farm. But trust me, farming to produce is work every minute of your entire life and you earn much less. Every living organism has to work to live, we just built the luxury of scheduled work and lunch breaks.

    I feel this could be the same for wigs and weaves. It can damage your hair and hairline and make you forget what you really look like without it and shocked when you see yourself without it, even possibly making you feel like you don’t want anyone to see you without it. Then you can just end up hostage to it.

    Good video! I don't think it's a coincidence that 'aesthetics' boomed suddenly in 2020 and later - I think it's hard, particularly for younger adults and teenagers, to have a sense of identity when so much of your life is spent indoors in your house - hell, even prior to social media, that was the time for experimenting and not really knowing 'who you were' so to speak. Covid 19, the subsequent lockdowns, and the further erasure of public spaces to hang out with other people (not in all places, but many) has done a lot of damage in that respect

    As an Autistic transmasc guy, self-maintenance, self-care and self-acceptance/love/any term (you personally use for yourself) looks like this to me: - talking to a therapist intern - letting myself feel my emotions while ruminating memories of mistakes I've done and am not proud of while trying to give myself a hug (because one can hold themself accountable while still learning how to forgive themself because self-acceptance and self-forgiveness is a fluid thing that's goong to fluctuate every moment and every day) - reading fanfiction that keeps me grounded in myself and to help me process (non-verbally and to myself) difficult shit I worry about and need to realise and hear - playing something to help me distract myself from intrusive thoughts that mainly originate from both intrnalised transphobia and internalised bigotries (i.e., racism, antisemitism, ableism) - doing journalling on and off - talking to trusted people (chosen family and friends) about what I've been feeling, but still being selective with what I am comfortable telling them and what I don't want to tell them as I am both honest and secretive in my own ways - doing shit to physically help me even when it's mentally and emotionally taxing, and even when I feel constrained within myself - doing listening therapy to help with emotional regulation (as I need help with emotional regulation and I need external support plus reassurance to help supply internal reassurance) - playing music I like (can be on my dysphoria and euphoria playlist on Spotify)

      And the identity part hits hard because one can't buy their own identity. They have to reinvent themself, regardless of neurodivergence and/or neurotype. As an Autistic guy of his own genders, I struggle with self-identity because of the fucked messages I receive about being Autistic from the ways that I was harshly disparaged and antagonised for my mistakes and for my actions that I subconsciously adopt them, especially with the expectation of being "perfect", "mature and professional" to add onto subconscious masking in order to survive an ableist world. In terms of girlhood and womanhood when I grew up as a child and teen perceived as a girl and woman, I was insecure of my own body in my teens and I grew more and more disconnected to womanhood and girlhood the older I got and to the point I've reached my late teens and early twenties sitting with myself in quarantine, exploring my pronouns, names and genders, and I'm glad that I did because if I didn't and still remained as some non-existent girl and woman I'm not, I'd be miserable with myself, I wouldn't know the real me nor would I genuinely accept myself.

    I think I found a new favourite youtubechannel 😉 first of all, I'm from Germany, so maybe you find some mistakes in the text 🫣 long time ago I watched lots of restockvideos and thought that it would be nice to have a fridge like the fridges on TikTok and RUclips. But these boxes are so expensive... round about 25€ per box. Luckily I found a solution which is definitely not so expensive. Tupperware is a big thing here in Germany, you can buy it everywhere. So I choose Tupperwareboxes for my Vegetable drawer (is it the right word? Idk 😅). The Tupperwareboxes costs less then one box from the restock videos 😂 but I have only five boxes, not as much as the content creator. Lets be honest, nobody needs a fridge filled with boxes. It looks aesthetic, but you dont have enough space for a cake, leftovers and things like that. Greetings from Germany!

    I’m a GenX Mom that has kids aged from 31 years old to 11 years old. My husband and I have raised our kids in the same manner throughout. My husband and I are both very much book lovers and have been reading to and with our children from conception. We have gone to all the libraries and all the library reading programs. We read everything, every day. We have implemented No technology days for the whole family. We have books lining our walls and at least four 8 foot tall bookshelves in our house fill ed with books The piles of books are ridiculously large everywhere. We have had family book clubs. And my Gen Alpha kid has struggled to read and comprehend the whole time. We have had her evaluated for dyslexia, vision, hearing, you name it. Her siblings, her aunties, her bookworm friends…we ALL have been trying to help her. We have done all the things! We homeschool her now BECAUSE of the struggles she has had with reading comprehension. I’m starting to think that something in the air has changed and THIS generation has some evolutionary thing going on that has them already predisposed to technological addictions. Now I will say that she is improving since we started homeschooling her. And she does LOVE to read GRAPHIC novels and Manga so yes there is a correlation to visual stimuli and story. But it’s interesting because we have never been the iPad parents. We have always been the limited technology parents. Not that we’re not embracing technology at all but we’re still doing what we’ve always done with all the kids. And wow if we are not still battling with what everyone else is seeing.

    YES, Mental Health sessions should be required before plastic surgery because it is usually much more about a mental health issue given to women by society and unethical capitalism and corporations, about body dysmorphia, and all these societal and corporate systems are being predatory with girls and women, creating unachievable expectations for how we are supposed to look that is actually plastic and not like real faces like we saw in the 90s. It’s entirely a cash grab that is taking advantage of women by giving them more and more insecurities by picking every single aspect of their bodies apart and we need to wake up to the fact that this is happening and resist! Not let them take advantage of us! ❤️❤️❤️ We need to get back to true beauty which is inner beauty and who you are and what you were doing in the world and what you love an, different ways that you contribute….. as well as friendships and relationships - as where we put our focus - rather than this shallow appearance-based crisis that is happening because of social media and unethical capitalism and celebrity worship

    Just because you’re poor doesn’t mean you can’t take care of your own teeth. I grew up in poverty and we still knew how to brush, floss, and use mouth wash. So blaming the cost of dental care on why folks have raggedy teeth is ludicrous. You maybe can’t afford braces but sometimes it’s your own fault those teeth are rotten. Getting a COSMETIC procedure done by an unlicensed person practicing medicine makes you an idiot. It’s not like it was a life or death situation. Gotta stop making excuses for people.

    Many of these women must be living very sad meaningless lives to think their self-worth and self-identity depend on how many people in society especially the wealth-hoarding billionares profiting off of it's wage-slaves they can please and impress especially by obsessing over looks and trends and money. It's a fricking privilege to be consciously and unconsciously growing a unique self-identity over time outside of just how you present yourself to other people because no one should have to be perfectly available 24/7 and instead focus on introspection and self-growth.

    To stop a kid from ever feeling overstimulation is also stopping them from ever learning how to cope with the overstimulation using coping skills and meditation or anything else healthy that genuinely helps. These parents are basically preventing their kids from learning how to calm themselves down by not having them experience emotions ever. That is not the solution to overstimulation. And it's worth mentioning, kids don't feel overstimulated from colorful toys because they actually like those things. We can't take care of children the way we take care of ourselves because children have completely different brains from us. I wish "beige moms" understood that they're harming their children through these aesthetics.
