Every time you start scrolling on social media you’ll eventually see an influencer with a seemingly better life than you. With their 5am morning routines where they harvest wheat from their organic garden and cook cereal from scratch - it’s not surprising to see so many of them taking their private jet to go to the beach. But maybe not all is what it seems when faking your wealth is a real possibility behind a screen. There’s so much pressure with beauty standards, your personal image, and an obsession with luxury goods that’s causing influencers to go broke trying to look rich. East Asian looksmaxxing is when your financial success is directly tied to your appearance - you ever heard of someone taking out a loan to buy a luxury bag for clout? It's insane out here #edvasian

It's a sincere belief in "fake it till you make it", that people from the upper echelons of society would want to associate with you if they see you with a Gucci purse and not Target bag, or with a Rolex watch instead of Casio. What these people misunderstand is that just showing off wealth does not impress those people; your skill in acquiring it does.

[@jade5379]

This is reminiscent of people on booktok talking about how expensive of a hobby reading is when 2nd hand bookstores and libraries exist

[@TheRockprincess1697]

This the reason why reading became my hobby is because I can get it for free or at least at a discount in so many different ways!

[@saraheb5080]

I do enjoy having physical books so much more, but to compromise, I pay $10 for a kindle membership and out of the 13 books I’ve read in the last two months, only two were not available on there. There is always a cheaper way. People are too comfortable getting everything new and unused.

[@SHADEdonatesGOODvibes]

Reading isn't an expensive hobby, but collecting books certainly is. I have spent quite a bit of money buying physical copies of my favourite book series because I like the feeling of having the full set on my bookshelf. Technically, people who say it is expensive aren't wrong, but reading is an outlier, in my opinion, given that some books can actually be quite expensive (for books at least), but some aren't, and obviously libraries exist, as you said. And booktok is a little bit crazy so I take everything people say on there to be an extreme version of what they are actually talking about.

[@nbucwa6621]

2nd hand bookstores are so expensive now where I am and the library is no longer well supplied since covid (funding ig) and closes on weekends and also closes before i get home from work on weekdays so yeah reading was becoming an expensive hobby for me. Now I just read online wherever I can find stuff free. That said it's probably the aesthetics of reading on booktok that are so expensive rather than actual reading. I don't see them showing off their battered old second hand copies or loaned books on booktok.

[@jade5379]

@@nbucwa6621And I agree. Funding for libraries suck, and a lot of libraries that I go to don't have as many books. If more people gave them attention, like on booktok, I wonder if that would help some. Does your library have an app? Currently I use three different library apps with two different libraries lol. I like ebooks, so I try to make the most of it, but I don't know how widely available it is.

Back in my days you'd fit in due to a haircut trend or something. Not for owning an overpriced cup

[@mugthemagpie3001]

It was always there. The reason why kids could sometimes walk in almost rags but always had a smartphone was basically unwilling to get excluded from YET ANOTHER sphere of life. Not just to fit in, while it also plays a major role, but also not to have that mental strain "I am worse than everyone else". It is stupid, but there is someghing about that mental comfort you are not even more excluded... And I didn't notice or name it until we had lectures in my university how exclusion is one of the major society problems. I am an adult, but due to my situation I still feel that in the back of my head when I see at the Local Game Shop that people can easily spend at the whim, while I have to rethink for a week if I want something or not. And while I am fully aware no one is going to laugh it off, there is that innate... Not even fear but discomfort.

This is how I feel with hiking. I don't like gatekeeping, but I'm a pretty avid hiker and I can't tell you how many times I've seen obvious non-serious hikers have super-expensive gear. You don't need $300+ boots to walk on a simple 4 mile out-and-back trail, nor do you need a $250 bag from Osprey to put one water bottle and a couple granola bars in. Both pickleball and hiking are cheap hobbies for most. Buy basic fundamentals and go. Pickleball girl could have just purchased a paddle and joined a rec league, but no, she needed overproced clothing, expensive lessons (which she could have just learned from others in a local league), and a fancy high-end country club membership. For her to leave work and move to play shows that she does have money and can afford to do so, but she was totally humble-bragging. Definitely agree with the comment about finding good stuff at secondhand stores, though.

The walmart cup actually looks better than stanley. As bad as it sounds, I wouldn't buy my kid a stanley cup just to fit in. If at most is all they're saying is "that's not a stanley neenah neenah", no obstruction to their learning, no physical assaults, I would tell my kid to ignore those kids. You fail as a parent if you keep doing everything for your kid to fit in, what would you do when your kid gets bullied for TRYING to fit in because that can happen? Your money was just wasted on a stanley cup instead of helping to build you're child's self-confidence and resilience. I grew up never fitting in, people throwing deisgner product bullshit at me never worked because I was engrossed with myself, they slowly moved to oher area of bullying that did work, but the shallow ones never did.

[@batlover2003]

100% i agree.. and that situation in specific would be a great moment for many lessons to teach your kid, about bullying, about trends, even about items and people being valued for their use and not their popularity. what made me especially saddened is how in that clip the child had even picked that cup out herself, so you know it was something she genuinely liked ...

I would have taught my child to say "I don't want a Stanley cup, I want this cup" in response.

Stand up for yourself, reject fads, and don't give in to peer pressure. Those are important skills to have.

​@@SecretAgentNein Thankyou. As a child who grew up NEVER FITTING IN and never wanted to, I get disappointed when parents cave in or teens go "I got to fit in". Bullying is bullying but you gotta have some resilience. Some dumbasses that go "that's not a stanly tee hee" is not the same as assholes that actually build a culture of trying to target and destroy you in other ways from physical abuse, sexual abuse, psychological abuse that's no even an attack on your belongings (I was a abused a lot throughout my entire school life).

Did you know that Hermes Birkin bags were orginally made to fit all your things in one bag like a tote bag, thats what it was intended to be. But because it became a luxury bag, nobody uses it like that except one woman i saw who filled it to the brim like she is getting her moneys worth

[@SecretAgentNein]

I picked up a decently cheap bag at some H&M store years ago and quickly gained a reputation for being that person who had everything in their bag. I would stop by the store and get a two litre bottle of soda, shove that in my bag, and maybe I would struggle a bit with the zipper if I had a lot of other stuff in there. Books, snacks, beverages, extra clothes, tools, makeup, you name it and I probably had it and happily offered it to people. It wasn't even a big bag, everyone was surprised at how much I could fit in it. In other words, whoever that woman was I love and respect her. And I don't even know what a Hermes Birkin bag looks like but I would love a new bag, my old one is falling to pieces.

⁠@@SecretAgentNeinget a Vera Bradley tote bag. The one I have is so cute. They come out with tons of different patterns and themes. It fits everything and more. Yeah they are a littleeeee pricey (100+) but it’s actually really worth it. They last yearsssss. It can be a crossbody but I don’t use it that way because I just don’t know why, lol. I also have their wallet and a blanket. Maybe a little obsessed with them, but I blame my aunt for getting me the keychain wallet thing😂 Or get yourself an L.L.Bean bag, I have one from kindergarten and it looks brand new a decade+ later, same with my toiletry bag from them, looks brand new and works just as well as the day I got it😂 point is, there’s tons of nice quality bags that can probably do the same as the Hermes?

As an American who lives in Korea it’s wild riding the public transportation in Seoul sometimes. I see a lot of women with very expensive handbags and big luxury shopping bags riding the bus and subway. It is also very common for Korean men to have very expensive luxury vehicles but live in a very small cheap apartment in a “poor” neighborhood. My friend told me some guys would rather sleep in their car just to maintain their image. Like even dating apps like tinder are very deceiving. Profiles usually have photos of beautiful views, expensive food, wearing expensive clothes/jewelry, and them driving expensive vehicles. Because of all of this the luxury counterfeit business is actually sooooo good you can’t even tell it’s fake sometimes. Usually Koreans buy the items if they came from China because China is the leading producer. At this rate I feel like every country is going through some weird dystopia. 🥴

Or some don’t date or try to date because they don’t feel good enough to date someone due to their economic and social status. It’s so crazy honestly.

[@melissastarr7451]

My biggest problem with luxury items besides the price is the fact that I think they are ugly. I cannot get enthused about purchasing something, especially if I already know the markup because I've worked in certain retail industries, if the item is ugly in my opinion. I suppose that it keeps me safe since they all keep making these mostly disinteresting sometimes downright ugly things. I have absolutely no motivation to buy them. When I have friends who do buy these things and they're so excited about them I just avoid talking about it because I don't want to tell them how ugly I think they're super expensive items are. Bland boring ugly basic.... So many words that do not equate to paying exorbitant amounts of money to own said item 🤦‍♀️

[@dubblebubbletoilandtrouble6646]

My thing isn't so much how they look, that's subjective (although I kind of agree with you on some of them lol), it's more that the luxury stuff is being more and more cheaply made and the only thing differentiating it is the price tag. Like if it was of astronomical quality and I'd never have to replace that item ever again, I could kind of see the allure. But often the items aren't of any better quality or construction than the stuff priced at a middle-of-the-road level. Not to mention that if you're buying an item that expensive just because it's the hot item right now, you're not even going to keep it for a long time because you'll be so worried about it "going out of fashion" in like two days.

[@_noahbury6_]

luxury items are a massive industry there’s no way u think all of it is ugly lol.

[@annegwendoline8673]

What I find funny is that all those branded items don't make them look rich, but poor and tacky. Prada, Gucci and so on are brands that are made for middle class people who want to show off to others. But those who are actually really rich, like old money folks, usually don't wear something that has a brand name plastered all over it. They know they're rich, they don't need to show that off to anyone. These influencers would be better off investing their money in good quality custom made outfits that actually fit them well and will last for several years.

[@cassidycross3406]

I work at a museum and saw a group of children quickly run through our Gisella Loeffler art exhibit. Loeffler painted stunning whimsical and childlike colorist works that one would think children would love and be drawn to. Lots of cartoon like figures... Later in the day, I saw the same children in a fashion exhibit that had mannequins in clothing from some of the older ladies who were "movers and shakers" in our local region. The clothes were rather plain except one bright salmon colored ski outfit. The children were in absolute awe and were freaking out, reading all the name brands out loud to each other. The spent a great deal of time standing at each mannequin. The children were like 8 years old. It was really weird. I wouldn't have cared about brands or little old lady clothes at 8.

It's not that expensive, but it's probably the second most expensive thing i do (other than spinning since the spinning wheel was a piece of expensive equipment and fiber itself is not cheap for how quickly you can go through it) and just a bit more expensive than my third most expensive hobby crocheting (why buy a $15 blanket if you can buy $40 worth of yarn and crochet one over the course of 2 weeks?) Do i *have* to spend that money? Thankfully, no. Except for books (which i could go weekly to a bookstore and pick up at least 1 volume of something, or i could not go for a month and be just fine), all the other hobbies have cheaper workarounds. Even yarn. I'm always checking out estate sales because you can get an oil drum's worth of yarn for $10 sometimes. And leftover yarn pieces from your knitted/crochet'd projects can be spun into some wild yarns on a spinning wheel.
