    A little off topic, but anyone else notice how chuds adopt fashion styles of non-chuds years too late? Like all these male chuds now look just like the same early 2010’s urban microbrewery enthusiasts that they would have called “soy boys”.

    I think in general they tend to adopt things from the people they hate because they are generally a bunch of talentless hacks who have no creativity or drive to try new things socially.

      Yeah they need the aesthetic to feel like a welcomed, known quantity before they take it on, that’s why you see MAGA rappers rapping like outdated early 2000s lyrical miracle rappers, or some people calling themselves “goth right.” The daring to unleash something unprecedented that they speculate will resonate en masse due to having base level empathy and sense-of-vibes is not there for the reactionary brain.

      I know that the small town I grew up in has been consistently 15-20 years behind the times when it comes to aesthetics. I bet that’s related, since conservatives like to larp as being from a small town

      Maybe? That could be a lot of things. I think what you’re noticing is that the political aesthetic of what used to be greasy basement dwellers have now also become the politics of wealthy grifters.
