trends are ruining your identity.

for those who cried in fitting rooms, let's talk about the epidemic of trends.
we spent our teenage years trying to glow up, wanting "cool" clothes, products, hair styles and everything in between to be considered fashionable, pretty, or enough. when actually, there was no such thing as glowing up, but lies to make you feel worse about yourself and consume.
no worries tho! in this video i want to talk about how i got out of this fast fashion loop and discovered my style and my idea of beauty.
feel free to share your tips and ideas :)

[@japk08]

period!! im so sick of the internet to be honest

[@Lady_mary06]

Truly, I am too, but this situation changed A LOT when I just deleted my insta account. It was a brave action that I did, but I don't regret it. I personally didn't need it. Now I have only KZbin, Snap (just to take photos) and Pinterest

[@il..69]

YES

[@maryamm_7]

Just turn off your phone lil bro

[@Jiminsboost]

Right

[@gasikhonde3279]

OMG ME TOO

[@victoria-no3vu]

I notice this constant cycle of a new trend appearing, fast-fashion brands starting to market it and then because fast-fashion brands are marketing it, it is no longer cool and instead is viewed as cheap. This happens with every trend nowadays and it's why I don't really follow trends anymore and instead wear classic items mostly and leave it to the color combinations and textures of clothing to give my style an edge.

[@iitsgi]

exactly! couldn't agree with you more

[@khaki9337]

Literally the 13 going on 30 dress.

[@witchlatte]

"Buy less, choose well, make it last." - Vivienne Westwood agree, I started following designers more and realize that it helps me find my taste in fashion. It doesn't bother me anymore if I couldn't afford those things because I was inspired on 'how I can dress' instead of how 'should' I dress (following trends) that I'm not even comfortable to wear. I think fashion is a matter of how long can you use your wardrobe and simply mix and match what you have.

[@Puddingnoo]

I love Vivienne Westwood so much. I always wore their clothes around and to hangouts with friends but I was always criticized for being too much and trying to hard or having a weird style because of the bright colours but now everyone seems to be liking her again and i'm being asked how long I've had my clothes and how pretty they are. Times really change 😭😭.

[@amandataylorsversion]

thank you for bringing me back to reality, it is so silly to always have the need to have a “label”. like no i’m not coquette downtown girl aesthetic, im me

[@iitsgi]

exactly!! and that's even cooler :)

[@andromeday8508]

One of the things I hate about aesthetics is that they try and box you in. I always found myself worrying about which hobbies or parts of myself I would have to give up to be in an aesthetic which is just terrible! We are all too unique and multifaceted to truly be one aesthetic and that’s a great thing!!

[@sillygoofyliquidgoober]

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK‼️‼️ honestly the whole aesthetics thing is a really poorly veiled attempt at trying to water people down into one dimensional caricatures of "themselves" almost like a shittily written character and honestly it sucks real bad

[@visjules]

FOR REAL! I thought that, because I like shopping and "basic clothes" and bonfires, I'd have to give up liking anime

[@bunnylife6475]

These trends ruined me 2 years ago, I completely lost my sense of identity, dropped all my hobbies and just made TikTok’s in my room attempting to keep up with the latest trends. I was so addicted in trying to fit in, and I didn’t realize it then but I was so unhappy and sad. At one point I kind of realized how addicted I was to TikTok and these trends so I deleted the app all together. It’s been two years and I haven’t redownloaded it since. When I look to trends now and how people act as a result of them, I honestly cringe. Like genuinely, what the hell is deer pretty? I’m so much happier now, I invest all my time in learning and doing hobbies. I don’t even care about my appearance anymore, I dress comfortably and completely stopped wearing makeup. If I could, I would tell everyone to delete the app. It literally BRAINWASHES people and it is so sick. If you think you’ll miss out on anything, trust me you won’t . The trends that stick you’ll hear about it one way or another and the ones that don’t (which are most these days) you won’t miss out on anyway because they will last a week. DELETE TIKTOK!

[@natalya6059]

I don't know you and still I feel so proud of you as I read this! It's a lot that's difficult to snap out of AND it's easy to fall back into.. I also deleted everything and stopped wearing makeup, etc. What that did is allow me to actually just feel good in my own skin finally and to feel content, which is soooo unprofitable for all these companies haha

[@hyohyobestie]

This is so true deleting tik tok changed me i havent had it since 2020 and its amazing

[@Cauldron6]

I never had TikTok and hearing stuff like this makes me so grateful I never got it, it would have messed me UP! I’m so glad you managed to rediscover your hobbies and live your life for yourself!!!😊

[@Clare-o-o-o]

Thank you, I'm a teen girl, and you really opened my eyes. The only problem is that everybody has social media, and if you try to be unique, you get haters for trying to 'hard' or trying to be 'different'. ALOT of it is probably caused by peer pressure. You earned a new sub

As a 22 yo girl, I deleted IG app and snapchat from my phone, I only limit my acc to very very close people, and I only follow people I enuoy their content which for me is artists, at first getting off IG and Snapchat felt overwhelming but honestly I barely miss it nowadays and my friends got used to it and when we meet they show me their pictures which honestly feels much healthier to me than viewing someone else's life thru a screen. Basically do what you believe cuz this is what really matters

[@deh2651]

this just randomly popped up in my recommended but girl you're so correct about all!!!

[@iitsgi]

thank you!! i'm glad

[@imdani4997]

People are creating new "aesthetic" everyday and some are basically the same but with different names lol. It makes people believe they can only like certain things to fit in that aesthetic. Like, voluntarily putting yourself in a box. We can like multiple things with some being the opposite of each other

[@rikasoft]

also the whole classifications of “cores” and “aesthetics” lead a lot of young teen girls (like myself) to believe sticking to one aesthetic and conforming yourself to that is the only option. I’ve seen so many people comment “What aesthetic is this?” like bro it’s just cool clothes or the original posters personal style no need to add a label for everything

[@latentspice]

It's like losing your old self

[@ayase-dd7mo]

real trends are so stressing, i sometimes find myself feeling bad for not buying something trendy even if i don't really want it

[@taeyeoncentral1317]

you can really tell how ppl needed this video by the comment. nothing makes me die on the inside more than when people see a cool outfit and go like "what aesthetic is this? what's the name of this style?" like pls be fr

[@tanishkagoesnls]

what does it mean? keratosis pilaris? 'coz i have it. but ive never heard anybody talk about it.

[@CourtneyNoble]

i remember wearing a brown puffer with squiggly designs (when it was in) and people judged it because it was new and it was different. It was an up and coming trend that people didn't know much about until people started to wear it. So this perspective of me trying something new and people perceiving it was odd that I was wearing it, also shows that trends appear suddenly and then go away suddenly as well.

[@Sophie-my6ck]

I loved how you point out these “cores” make you feel as though you are dressed up, or wearing a costume. That’s a great way to describe it. I feel like all too often the clothes don’t suit me, but are rather fueled by the hope of me fitting in some kind of category. Great video!

[@MoonLight_Queen]

i completely agree w/ everything you said in this video! i hate seeing videos titled as "how to find your style and stick with it" because we should be able to wear whatever! we dont need to stick to one certain style/aesthetic

[@a.m.1939]

love this girl❤ hate when the internet labels clothes as certain “aesthetics”

[@YamamaAlJamous]

everything u said was correct and I 100% agree it's so hard to realize these things are happening to us and how easily we get influenced nowadays everyone is dressing the same and has the same aesthetics no one is being themselves I miss when everyone was different and had there own identity.

[@itsdsk]

And when was that?

[@YamamaAlJamous]

@@itsdsk before the trend of changing your entire lifestyle to fit in to 1 aesthetic

[@itsdsk]

@@YamamaAlJamous back then there was only 2 type of people the aware ones and the ones that weren’t aware now even those that weren’t aware are now participating as if they were aware and those that are aware as of now I guess are sellouts. But I’m some ways I question the idea of awareness and temperament and discernment. But I understand I too it’s like everyone found out about surgery and now everyone has lips done or something people are just pushing the same agenda

[@YamamaAlJamous]

@@itsdsk i agree

[@YamamaAlJamous]

but since COVID-19, social media became more popular and now it's causing little kids to be influenced by these lifestyles, which reduces their creativity and chance to find their own identity because they are trying to have the perfect lifestyle they see online.

[@no_brain7947]

That’s why aesthetics annoy me so much. People buy a new wardrobe every year, because they want to fit a new aesthetic. Often one aesthetics gets rebranded in so many different ways. I think trends are not always bad and can help you with your style, but don’t limit yourself to micro-trends, maybe let the trend sit for a while and then look if you still like it.

[@highupez]

I decided a while ago I didn’t wanna be put into one box anymore because depending on how I feel on different days I want to dress differently and express myself differently.

[@itsdsk]

And I do think of style like food honestly street food, highend couisine, mom&pops (my favorite), homemade (favorite), etc these are different ways of consuming fashion

[@fullsundoll]

It took me so long to get over the idea that EVERY piece of clothing I own has to be cohesive and fit into one aesthetic. The amount of times I saw a cute piece in the store, but didn’t buy it because “it didn’t fit my dream aesthetic” is too many to count. I don’t have this mindset anymore, thank god. It’s so freeing to remember that I can like many different types of clothing and wear a different type of outfit every single day. We aren’t meant to dress in only one way.

[@iitsgi]

so glad to hear that!!

[@user-ww9xx5rb9s]

Oh girl more people should listen

[@iitsgi]

thank you 💞 it's truly a spiral we are all in sadly

[@Cocqin]

Very true! Sometimes i am afraid to wear something different because people will judge, i know we should not listen to people's opinion but sometimes it hurts, social media really ruined unique styles

[@Aiffah_MY]

As a woman that’s always have different aesthetic/ styles everyday to the point my coworkers waited for my “outfit of the day”, it’s still bit confusing/ frustrating for me having to reexplain TO MYSELF that “It’s okay to have different styles as long as you’re comfortable and happy wearing them! Also you’re thrifted these!” We don’t have to be exclusive nor in trend, we just have to be comfortable with our clothes!

[@KatherineKim-yx2jz]

When iwas little, i used to where the clothes that are trending now, like bows and ballet flats. when i adopted these trends again , i felt like i went back to my original self.

[@iitsgi]

that's cute! embrace it then :)

[@alvadaoud223]

Thank God that I deleted all my social media accounts, and this is one of the best decisions I've made, I just have pinterest and youtube

[@dassinezeggaoui699]

Tysm for this video, more people need to know about this. I feel like sometimes if you’re not the «normalized» style on social media, you’ll get people thinking your style is weird, but its just special, like each ones of us. We all need to realize that social media IS social media and that we cant always buy those 300$ outfits and expensive skin care to «glow up». Plus social medias always create insecurities that i never heard of before just so we can fell even worse about ourselves and, like you said, buy more. I honestly am working more on confidence than following trends, because i know that its way more important to feel well than to fit in a bow. Again thank you for opening everyones eyes, your so right about this!💖

[@nightmarecastni]

I remember when glowing up meant looking after your mental health, working on yourself such as working out and eating better, using products that ACTUALLY work for your skin, keeping your ownership to minimum (not living minimistically, but, living within your means and decluttering what is stressing you/etc), basically being a you you love and adore - it was a way to find *yourself*, learn who you are, and enhance that whilst also working on things you weren't happy with and now it's some trend used to make people feel inferior... I'm at the point I've deleted all social media other than like one app to talk to my piercer/tattooist and that's it now. It's so sad to see what the internet has become in the past years.

[@hi-ib6es]

this is so TRUE and it’s why i decided to delete tiktok and instagram ♡

[@iitsgi]

deleting instagram is such a good move... still can't do it

[@Becca_didwhat]

My idea of a glow up is me doing the things I’ve wanted to do for ages but out off such as certain skin cares, taking care of my hair better, buying the clothes I! Wanted! In my mind glow ups are a you goal. Not some trends people expect you to follow. It legit been psychologically proven that if you are 100% perfect ppl WILL find you unnerving and boring. THIS WAS PROVEN BTW. If you look perfect, perfectly symmetrical, and like everyone else people will find how you look as low-key boring. People prefer, feel more comfortable with people with “bad” features Don’t glow up for other ppl glow up for your own goals

[@mobstercrow7515]

I absolutely love neon green and kelly green. I can never find the proper shades of green while I try to look for new clothes. Hopefully green becomes the next colour trend. I need more green! Especially green shoes, I can't find them anywhere. I had to settle on a pair of black basketball shoes and I used neon green and black beads on the laces. I've been emo for 18 years because I was born and raised as an emo. My dad was emo and my mum loved rock. Fashion has changed so much and I can't find anything that looks good when I go shopping, even online. I'm a guy but I have to shop in the womens section often because they usually have more choices. The mens section is mostly tshirts sadly. If you are a fashion designer, please use more green, I NEED IT! Also, if you cosplay, it is a good idea to buy a pair of "ballet" shoes. Walking around conventions in uncomfortable costume shoes are PAINFUL! Always bring a light pair of shoes with you so you can change them if needed. P.S, even though I am a guy I've started to wear bows because my service dog in training is a poodle. He has to wear bows in his hair to keep it out of his face. I absolutely adore my puppy so we wear matching accessories. I make the bows myself, they are very simple to make. We use "show bows" which look very fancy. If you have a poodle or a longhaired dog that wears bows, you should check out the dollar tree, they usually have a lot of ribbon.

[@VaraSwift]

You may have luck trying to dye white clothes green to get that color you want. There's a lot of dyes you can buy at the craft store that are user friendly.

i don't even know what i, myself find cool atp. i try being my own person when it comes to fashion, but having a limited budget makes it even harder to actually build a good wardrobe, because i usually waste my money on clothes that i regret buying 1-2 months later. i want to explore accessories and jewelry, i've been focusing only on wearing "trendy" clothes, while not even trying to express myself with little details. anyways, hopefully i'll find myself a bit more, i'm working on my journey. you should too, never give up! ty for the video love, you're extremly beautiful!😚

Super de acuerdo, el "glow up" se convirtió en una forma más de convencer a las personas de comprar cosas que no necesitan y promueve constantemente un consumismo desproporcionado

[@nv.ember.]

My 2nd year of Uni's gonna start in a few days and the whole last month I was hyperfixated on buying new clothes and wear according to my "personal style". I bought a few stuff like tops, jewellery and shoes. For a long time I have been obsessed with mary janes so I decided to buy a pair of dupes, and after I did I tried wearing it and I got hit by reality so bad. I didn't like how it looked on me and wasn't going with my overall "style". Thats when I realised how much hyperfixated I was in getting a glow up and leveling up my style while I completely ignored my "personal style". I love baggy jeans because it doesn't touch my skin and I have sensory disorder but what I was trying to buy were "skin tight" flared jeans. That is why it hit me that I was just following trends instead of what makes me feel good and myself. Now I am returning the stuff that I bought and trying to not force a "glow up" on me when I don't even need it. :)

Thank you for opening my eyes because especially for shoes because recently or a long ago, Jordan’s 4s were popular in the 2000s but now there popular ( I’m not saying that they were never popular) and I would always see girls wearing it at my school because I thought it was a “cool” trend so it lend me into wanting Jordan’s and looking at Pinterest for inpso but then i stopped and think again “ do I really want theses?” “ do they really fit my personality?” So I realized that isn’t me because I’m just following trends so thank you for opening my eyes🤍🤍

[@wannahelishasadventures713]

I agree w this sm!! Trends shouldn’t define who you are.

[@noor____9]

Exactly girl .. that’s what I really want everybody to listen for , I’m really sick of those new trends and it’s just make me unsure about really what I love and what I don’t cause I’m a person who don’t have a specific style it just depends on my mood,so when I see the influencers and Pinterest I just feel uncomfortable, also it’s not about that only I lost my touch of styling I cannot wear something if I don’t scroll on Pinterest .. everything should be perfect and in aesthetically way in the world of social media and trends , so that’s really makes me take a step to delete ig and Pinterest . i hope everyone listen for that cause it’s really true .

[@no5795]

This is the first time in months ive watched a KZbin video fully that isnt like gameplay without constantly skipping or putting it on 2x because my attention span has just been ruined by tiktok i dont know but what you’re saying isnt repetitive and thats why its nice to listen to

[@wizzardiishlex]

the REAL way to glow up is to like yourself. that's it.

[@Cauldron6]

Divesting yourself from trends first involves you removing the voices around you from influencing your inner voice. When I quit Instagram, I could finally LISTEN to myself and what I WANTED. It’s been fun to figure out who I am without the need to chase trends or the idea of being a part of The Moment- live IN the moment, instead. 😊

[@lushinasmr]

great video! the way our society currently works depends on our insecurities so they can sell us the supposed cure, but defining your self worth through outside validation is a never-ending cycle, you cannot possibly keep up with all the new demands and trends. find what you really genuinely like and you will be much happier, even if it does not match up with anyone else's idea of "cool"

[@mayhu388]

[@orangefruit12]

Trends are ruining our image. These days it's almost impossible to avoid encountering so many passing trends in social media because the internet has become essential in our daily lives. This summer I did my best to avoid Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok and switched over to Pinterest because it has little socialization compared to other social media apps. But even on Pinterest there are SO MANY aesthetics and trends that I still get lost in the app even when I set a phone timer. Almost everyone including myself gets FOMO at times especially when trends get REALLY loud. And it actually worsens my anxiety despite doing my best to chill down I still can't help but feel like I'm lagging behind because of how fast the trends come and go. It genuinely overstimulates me and even if i switch off my phone, the trends are still everywhere due to the people around me and whenever I go out of the house. People talking about different trends including my family relatives and friends is also hard to avoid too. Overconsumption, materialism, and capitalism is honestly so sickening but it's the world we live in and it's almost like we have no other choice but to live with it 😮‍💨

[@no1inparticular487]

i think the bow trend differs in some ways because people could participate without buying anything (theoretically) which i think is cool- i wish more trends were like that

I keep worrying that I don't have one aesthetic. Tbh I like a bit of everything, I am not one thing and for me that just made me feel like I was a freak who didn't have any stability and when I would see girls online have their one thing, like that's their main thing, I would get instantly depressed and felt like something was wrong with me. I consulted with my parents about this and my mom assured me that there was nothing wrong (altho I do have to say I have been through things that have made me a little unstable in my head), that I needed to get my head out of the internet and stop worrying about what other people think or what others are doing. She told me I needed to detox and take time for myself to figure out who I am and that even if who I am is a little bit of everything, then that's just the person that I am and that I need to love it.

1:42 this is so real because people randomly started separating everything in “aesthetics” after the tumblr era, and its so upsetting to see that it is still a thing to this day because at the time i was just 11-12 years old, i am 18 now and i remember vividly how bad i felt because i couldn’t find an aesthetic that fully felt like myself. i cant help but wonder how many young girls or boys feel pressured to find a “core” to represent them and stick to at all times when they can just be themselves and be however they want to be perceived as, especially when tiktok is so critical about styles that arent seen more regularly

[@azureblueberry]

Honestly this need to be said, it's just a way for you to buy more things that you probably don't need and capitalise on insecurities you didn't even have. I wish people could just do what they want rather than follow a trend that will become hated in two weeks.

[@Bellamorenoaya]

the “ aesthetic life” is never going to change or help how you feel about yourself as a whole. What you have to do in life is work on your inner self✨🩷 be polite, kind and educate yourself. It is amazing when a person is interested in helping the world and has hobbies! it’s so cool and interesting to be an advocate and help animals and people in need, instead of focusing on all of these materialistic things. Yeah , it is cool and nice to take care of yourself, ofcourse,and feel confident and pretty but you shouldn’t revolve around that concept of appearance. It’s never going to fulfill you, trust me🙏🏼

[@maf.268]

Hi, I agree with what you say and I have to add or to say that the cores actually helped me to find what I like. Through the categories I could see what I'm drawn to and now I can build around those cores and add and change everything I like so it will be my personal fashion or core. I literally don't care about trends. And fortunately I never now what is trending right now so I will hopefully fall less into the trap of buying trendy stuff I actually don't like. I'm happy about it ❤ nice video 🌸👍

[@staeriix]

true! but i think where it goes to far is when every little micro trend becomes a core. and that just ends up with the same thing under different names.

[@AndreeaPrecup]

Wow, I really liked your approach on the topic. I never thought about getting inspo from a lamp designer :))) but fashion really should simply be a representation of yourself. You don’t have to fit it a certain category

[@spacegirl6619]

Oh wow, social media has normalized this so much. Without this video I would never doubt the whole core thing, you really opened my eyes. And this video is also underrated, more ppl need to see this!! ♥️

I wish i see this video before my glow up plans. I lost 10kg and also i did a lot of change in my life. In the end of the day what i see was my fading identity

[@sparkle2848]

When, I normally watch KZbin videos. I tend to scroll through the comments too but, i did not do that will watching this. I really like how personal your videos and the simple/minimalistic editing. HOPE YOUR CHANNEL GETS MORE ATTENTION :)

[@iitsgi]

omg thank you so much! it means a lot ❤️

[@timelesschild8948]

Thank you!!! I just want to be myself and have more than one aesthetic. Love this video!!

[@Myocardium1039]

The moment I realised this was 6 years ago, when I couldn’t even put on a simple outfit for the day, before logging into Pinterest or Instagram to let it choose for me. I became “obsessed” that I couldn’t let *myself decide* but rather let current trends or aesthetics decide my decision. I only have KZbin left and deleted all my social media platforms.

Some glow up things are nice. -luxury shampoo and shower gel is so different, it smells amazing all day. -cutting hair into a nice shape. -and then I got myself a nice face serum and a really good foundation. It didn’t cost much (35$ in total), but I look young af. And also some new clothes are ok.

[@mango000mvy]

Love the tips and insights you shared in this video ! Fast fashion was always the cheap version of personal style and identity

[@tothemoon5833]

I'm tired of seeing people putting social media on a pedestal. Ive been quitting social media and it's been a really lonely journey. I havent found anyone who's interested in doing their own and not copying off social media. I hope i could find someone..

[@Airia16]

I watched the entire video, this was EXACTLY what I have been thinking!! "Do I really like it, or is it just because it's a trend?" Even the Pinterest thing was so accurate, there's always "nothing" that you can already do/have. Why do I think things look old, or out of fashion? It's all a hoax, we need to just enjoy things. Anything, everything. It's not about looking the same as everyone else, because that will ALWAYS feel like a costume. Authenticity is dead these days...

[@astridpixel7060]

it's so true, I feel like I don't know what I like anymore

[@iitsgi]

it happens to me too

[@bingbong9415]

[@iitsgi]
