[@CherrrrBear]

I agree 😂 and these are people’s parents 😂

[@Fatalsunday]

to call this "a narcissism thing" is such a lazy (and ableist) cop out... young people learn to define themselves through their surroundings. Back in the day we had subcultures, for example. Today's society is not only more fast paced, there's also a lot of things going on at the same time and constant exposure to all sorts of media that's easily accessible and replaces regular conversation. It's a systemic problem and instead of shaming them maybe we should be helping kids ground themselves and model adequate behaviour for them so they don't get so lost while navigating this.

[@buffyfan666]

My Ex is Sicillian American, his dad was a "business man" in NJ and we side eye and cackle at this trend. Ive met the families and seen the women they are emulating. Most women are flashy and always in glam because they had no choice, they were expected to look beautiful and successful as they are a direct reflection of her husband and HIS success. Alot of this trend is rooted in misogyny and violence and its not great to minimize it into a micro trend. Just my 2 pennies.

[@loreniacupcake]

You could say that about a lot of Black fashion seen in hip hop and rap. I wouldn't assume just because someone dresses that way doesn't mean that they partake in a certain problematic lifestyle or want to actually join a gang. I like wearing 50s fashion, but that doesn't mean I want to be a woman in the 50s that was littered with misogyny and racism. We have a saying in the vintage community, "Vintage style, not vintage values" for this exact reason.

[@alis4780]

I remember this story (I'm Italian) that made it to the news. This mod guy was a mafia kid, he fell in love with a normal girl, he harassed her DAILY and eventually proposed to her but she didn't want to be in a relationship with this guy (obvously) since she was also in love with another man. Because in italy at the time we had the law of the "matrimonio riparatore" (=the repair marriage) he r@ped this woman and proposed to her. Because of this law, after SA, a woman was forced to marry the guy who r@ped her in order to save face in front of the society of the time and her own family. She absolutely refused and took things to court (what. a. absolute. QUEEN.) and eventually this court case made the law of the "matrimonio riparatore" illegal. I don't remember the name of the girl but she's an absolute italian legend and made history. I wanted to tell this story because maybe another girl went through all of this and became a mob wife against her will. It's absolutely NOT all glitz and glam. This is a serious topic and deserves to be treated seriously.

So this is the culture that they are pretending that these people are offended by, because they dress similar to those women? I’m sorry but if these fakes make it look bad then isn’t that a good thing? I really don’t get why some were offended by this, personally. It’s such a shame that women who have no idea what any of this shit is who just happen to like to dress like this will be lumped together with people pretending to be something they aren’t on tiktok because people also can’t see the difference between just dressing a certain way and also acting a persona.

[@jennygracefully]

I’ve been a fan of the glamour aesthetic, even during that time when everyone wanted to be a “clean girl”. But TikTokers calling it “mob wife aesthetic” is super weird to me. Like you can embrace the big hair, bold makeup, big jewelry, and fur coats without romanticizing the mafia.

[@RMBlake007]

Exactly! I just made a post that this is a throwback to the 80's dressy girl look that I've been wearing for decades. Nothing to do with the mafia.

[@DB-xo6xh]

I agree so much. I have this whole look in my closet and have had the vibe since I was in middle/highschool but with some variations with influence(I'm Mexican American) from Mexican & Spanish glamour & show girls. Dark feminine/Pinup was always my look and I feel like now I'm just looking silly because the clean girls have all turned on this character because they lack their own identity. Anything to "run" to get to the trend the fastest. I honestly can't believe the places that this trend is coming up, like daytime shows and local news segments. I get second hand embarrassment.

Mafia/mob bosses are also romanticized in Gen Z literature. The mafia dissolves people in acid. It's NOT cute.

[@sheofthealwysmispronouncedname]

More so than in any other mafia literature stretching back to The Godfather?

[@edgaranalhoe7678]

Mamma mia!

[@purrgundy]

Whether or not The Godfather has romanticised the mafia is debatable. Yes, the power of gangsters has always facinated people but when you actually watch the movie (or read the book) the lifestyle is actually showing how the characters not only lose themselves the deeper they get into business, but they also lose everyone they love (or have to push them away, either for protection or for liability reasons)​. Of course, reality is way worse than fiction when it comes to the mafia.

[@GMW.artist]

What is GenZ literature?.. do you have your own books that no one else can read or something?... 😂

This is hardly a new thing.

There is a distinct difference between Italian culture and Italian American culture. As someone who is Italian American and grew up in Queens and Long Island, “mob” and “mob wives” aesthetic is just the norm. We’ve all been donning big hair, heavy makeup, spray tans, leather, black, and leopard for our whole lives. It’s gaudy, it’s fun, it’s kind of tacky but in the best glamorous way possible.

Can i just say how much we love how robert just talks to us with such ease alone in front of a camera like we are just right there in the room. We love youuuuu roberrrt reginald of the house of umm.. lords or whatever!!!!

So they finally moved on from the Chicanas and cholas? People can do their makeup and blah blah blah however they want but they don't want to recognize or respect the hardships that go along with the lifestyles they're mimicking. And that's the issue here. It's offensive because people will hop on trends that imitate people and cultures that are otherwise mocked. We've seen this recently with "Hot Cheeto Girls" "Cholas" "Chongas" and "Guidettes" and I'm sure more but I've been off social media for a while.

[@Formoneyclicksandviews]

Thank you. I don't get why this is big deal. Why is this a feminist cause to stop? White women and others have dressed in gang life out fits. Most black women or men aren't thugs but we dress like that. Most Latinos aren't in gangs but dress like they are. What can you do?...

This is honestly why I won't get a tiktok. It's so saturated with children being "influencers" even though they know next to nothing about what they're talking about. It's so obnoxious.

I am inspired by the beautiful color on your scar! I am going to start decorating mine, which I am fond of because it is evidence of an adventure.

[@Lunasquietlife]

The mob "aesthetic" has actually been on tiktok for yearss, there were (or still are idk) even creators whose entire profile and content was based around acting, dressing, and walking (yes walking lol) like a "mob" boss. Some of these creators would even rent like a castle together to film aesthetic "mob" content together....

[@spectre9340]

In regards to the trends being completely different from each other, I've noticed that too. When people were tired of the overly contoured glam looks from 2016, they moved onto more colorful looks with the heavy blush and thick eyeliner. Then they moved onto a pseudo-natural direction with the feather brows and clean girl aesthetic. And I guess people want bold make-up again.

I’m sure being a stripper forced to do certain things because you have no other means to isn’t fun either yet many women dress like them for fun every day. Many women even dress Victorian era like even though the women back didn’t have much rights. Personally I think this is ridiculous to get offended by. Acting like this is a part of their content. I’d understand if it were a certain hate group imagery but this? Come on. I wonder if it’s actually Italians who are offended, or “Italian American”

[@taylormarie2271]

it’s a show

[@bobbienami7981]

Hey Robert, I absolutely love watching your videos and I just watched an older one where you're doing a tutorial and how much you like making them but nobody watches. I LOVE,LOVE watching tutorials and I'm not the only one. Please,please,please do more. I love your makeup style!! Thanks, love your videos ❤

Depends on the era of Femme Fatale

I like how now everyone understands that people are not an esthetic but when it was BIPOC, they all acted like they had no idea.

Exactly. And as another comment pointed out, it's funny how the mob is glorified but gangs aren't 👀👀👀

[@mammajamma4397]

Thissssssssssss

[@electr.cdreammachine]

I think they're still trying to sidestep it, like this could go very quickly and easily into Miami 'cartelcore' for the summer as an 'IroNiC joKe' that they quickly& conveniently forget the 'irony' of. Mobs were created in a time in the US that Italians weren't considered white. Honestly, coming off the jorts and 'androgynous' (not meeting rich Anglo standards of feminitiy) looks of last summer, and Latina ++ glam that turned into clean girl I expect the 'hood' influences will become even less veiled this spring and summer, along w the hidden racism or at least prejudice that comes with the appropriation. It's not about inspiration even when there's a difference between sharing willingly and taking/gentrifying/corrupting the meaning behind.

[@Sportt_]

Right. ATP I could literally care less.

[@LifeOfTheAngels]

Basically when white women get offended that’s when the line is drawn lol

[@leahmead5947]

Just had to rewatch this as when I first watched it I was in hospital still coming round from general anaesthetic (nothing worrying lol just a small surgery) so I barely remembered it. Glad I rewatched, loving this new channel.

[@The.Painted.Angel.]

I just took this as people emulating Sofia Vegara's new mob wife character in the same way that everyone dressed in pink for Barbie. I'm surprised the show wasn't mentioned because I feel like it's what kicked off this trend

[@LidiaChance]

Ever notice how mafia activity is romanticized but gang activity isn't?

[@petra1995]

Is it because Italians are white?

[@Sleipnirseight]

TRUE!!! 👀👀👀

Yeah but the mob is gang activity. Also gangster activity is romanticized.look at music.

[@StormSongs7]

Not the Stella D’Oro…it was anisette toast. We had pasta and gravy every Sunday. It was started around 7:30/8:00 AM and would simmer on the stove until we got back home from 9:00 AM o’clock Mass. There was stuffed baby calamari, along with homemade pasta for ravioli or lasagna for special occasions. We stayed low keyed back in the 1960’s. There was an uncle who ran numbers but that was years before I was born.

Calling it cultural appropriation is a bit of a stretch. Like you said, it's just a tiktok trend, it's not that deep

[@BreakofDawn]

@ellee1812 Plus the fact that this is about organized crime. Calling it cultural appropriation is like saying “all Italian Americans” are mob people. They’re basically saying it’s part of their culture to be part of illegal activities. Like what..???
