not only do we all look the same now, but we’ve all started doing the same shit too. same interests. same playlists. same instagram stories. like bro. every person i know has the exact same insta page vibe. it’s giving AI-generated. same beige outfits. same 10pt font captions. same four repost slides that don’t even make sense together. like?? is this a personality? is THIS your roman empire??
and what’s worse is people trying so hard to act nonchalant like “oh i don’t care i just post whatever.” NO YOU DON’T. even on private accounts with like 50 followers people aren’t posting any bs. like where’s the random shit. where’s the chaos. where’s the blurry photo of ur doing sm bs or that one meme only ur unhinged friend from 8th grade would understand?? why is everyone trying to be the same curated basic person who pretends to be messy but only in an aesthetic way.
like bro can we bring back whimsy. like actually doing random shit just because it’s fun. people don’t use their free will anymore. like why is no one mixing sprite and coke at the function anymore?? and even if you are why are you not TELLING people??? are you EMBARRASSED of mixing two sodas??? are you embarrassed of enjoying things??
and bro. i hate how boring people have become. like no one has niche interests anymore. everyone's just blindly following tiktok trends, microtrends, “this is in rn” and suddenly everyone’s entire vibe has shifted. like we’re not people we’re just trend moodboards with no substance. and the worst part is no one even learns anything anymore. no one even cares. like bro. no one knew about the grinch before the knee surgery meme. be serious.
and i’m not even saying it has to be niche. just… make an effort. like if you’re into fashion, ACTUALLY be into fashion. go look up some old designers. stalk runways. learn the difference between silhouettes. say something other than “ugh i love the clean girl aesthetic.” and if you’re into f1 — amazing. now PLEASE say something other than "omg i love lando." every guy is saying that. say something else. tell her about how a reporter for f1 acted like a fake priest to create chaos. yes. that actually happened. look it up.
bro i was watching a yt video on the history and influence of lipstick the other day. then right after that i watched a 2 hour video on genghis khan. just because. literally just because i felt like it. and now my brain is full of weird facts and i’m kinda smarter for it. and also a little annoying. which is the goal.
and here’s what’s crazy: i know guys whose stories literally feel like they’ve been edited by the same person. like you could click through one, then the next, then the next — same layout, same fonts, same playlist, same filtered-ass vibes. and no personality?? where is the individuality??? it’s just vibes and reposts now.
we have the entire internet in our pockets and somehow people still don’t know anything. like how are you not interested in ANYTHING. what do you even do all day. i KNOW damn well you’re not studying.

The need to be liked is a natural thing and so is the need to feel like you belong in a community. Back when people interacted more face-to-face, finding your own group of weirdos meant that you could all be yourself around each other without having to care much about outsiders that might think you are “being too cringe”. Now people’s lives are largely wrapped around social media where people bully and mock others for the smallest of things. So they start to curate themselves and make themselves fit into a certain mold with the intention to be like the others so they can feel like they are a part of something. When this happens enough it turns into playlists that all have the same songs but in different order and social media posts that all look the same. If you differ from this mold in the “right way”, you become a trendsetter, though sooner or later that difference you made will blend in with the mainstream and become mainstream itself. But if you differ the “wrong way”, you become too weird and the most heinous thing that you can possibly be: embarrassing... The dire need to be liked seems to outweigh the need to be one’s true self. It takes courage to take the risk and be actually “weird”. Recommend that 60s mandopop album no one has ever heard of, tell me about that hobby horse riding competition that you took part in, infodump to me about your favourite episode of that “problematic” media you enjoy, do SOMETHING that means you aren’t afraid of your true personality. By doing so you might lose the approval of the large crowd but there is always the chance that someone just as “weird” as you will see you and feel the connection. Tldr: log off, touch grass, be weird, be you :)

most deserving 2 kudos blog of all time. i had a friend who was really fun and talkative in 4th grade but we split our ways due to me moving schools. met him a while ago and he completely changed - almost like he lost his personality. im not saying that im better than him (my instagram is some random mysterious caption and a post which has 1 urbex photo nothing else) but thats the general trend i observe among others. they dress the same. talk the same. have same rude personality. same humor (hence the term classmate humor was coined). enshittification exists among people as well and no one seems to have noticed. its real depressing waking up and seeing everything having lost its charm. i blame covid. while it was undeniably good for others, it made a complete 180 in personality among others. for some people like me nothing really changed as i enjoyed staying at home (no im not an incel). you can pinpoint 2021/2022 as the point of no return. literally the difference between people from 2019/2020 compared to 2021-now is huge. for example look at tiktok. in 2020 everyone was quite optimistic and made (quite cringe looking back at it. perhaps being cringe was better than what was later) coronavirus memes/trends. in 2021 people on tiktok became really unhinged with everything - sa jokes, etc. sorry if it feels like all over the place but thats my two cents. i miss 2018 and those weird ass ddlc/any game that was revelant during that time roleplay accounts sm
nah cuz i remember back in 2020-21 everyone was doing unhinged cringe shit like make dalgona coffee, creating fanpages, doing random tiktok challenges.
and now ever since everything's reopened everyone has changed their entire personality. like ok mr gymbro with 1 blurry pic near the sea and a travis song in the background.
i literally get so pissed off seeing people having
and it’s not even about aesthetics anymore it’s just straight up overconsumption. people don’t even LIKE things anymore. they see a trend, buy into it, wear it twice, forget about it, repeat. it’s exhausting. like buy something which YOU like not because sm influencer on insta told u that buying it will make u cooler for once.
i have ONE irl friend on SpaceHey and i like it that way. i don’t want this to turn into another place where everything’s curated and everyone’s trying to be cool. i just want somewhere i can rant about life, dump thoughts, and actually be without overthinking if it’s “aesthetic” enough.
