I was in the middle of attempting to relearn which clothes I wore, how I pursued sex, what drugs I took and with whom, what music I danced to and where
Find the idea of "learning" these things so depressing tbh

I love complicated articles like that when they're essentially just saying
"some people are getting older and young people like different things to me"
So he wanted people to pay him six hundred dollars to say "I don't really know what's happening" and somehow it didn't work out. Maybe the trend is that people have stopped paying attention to Nathan Barleyesque dickheads?in which he would dissect what was percolating (information he deemed so valuable it would require purchasing a $600 annual subscription to access. Now, a year’s subscription is more in line with the market standard of $50). Half a year later, he still can’t quite figure it out. (Delta and Omicron slowed down the shift some, a lucky break for those of us who want a second chance to avoid getting left behind.)
also funny: the notion that it's important to be on top of the current vibe because otherwise you'll be a social outcast.
Partially, but its also partially something long the lines of hyperstition or the tinkerbell effect, whereby people labeling things and imposing narratives actually reifies the narrative to some extent.stuff like this is just people trying to make sense of the chaos isn't it. putting a vocabulary and narrative onto small things that we see every day.
Give us the report... What kind of herd animals are you seeing? What kinds of mating rituals are you noticing?@suspended I'm in Clandestinos RIGHT NOW. The guy next to me is dressed like some kind of farmer, there's a lot of wool
The geezer I'm with posts on ILM, I'm going to smack him for the ladsGive us the report... What kind of herd animals are you seeing? What kinds of mating rituals are you noticing?
It's just loads of people talking about thier experiences of therapyGive us the report... What kind of herd animals are you seeing? What kinds of mating rituals are you noticing?
And make some money out of it let's not forget.stuff like this is just people trying to make sense of the chaos isn't it. putting a vocabulary and narrative onto small things that we see every day.
To me this is where the business model seems to have a problem. Some people don't give a flying fuck about this sort of thing, they know nothing about it and don't care - and so they won't spend any money on catching up. And there are some people who think that being plugged into trends is of the utmost importance. They care about trends - what people are wearing and what they are doing - and more than that, they want to know what the trends mean, why one is prevailing over another and so on. But people who care about this are surely gonna be deeply enmeshed already, they will already have their nose to the ground and ear to the wall or whatever... my feeling is that anyone cares to that degree about being on the bleeding edge of trends will have lots of knowledge and their own opinions too. It seems to my mind that such a person who actually went and paid for someone to do this work problem would be admitting that they have failed.And make some money out of it let's not forget.
i did notice a few quite attractive girls and boys. nothing over and above a standard evening in that part of town though. obviously i didn't talk to any of them, i'm not a psychoGive us the report... What kind of herd animals are you seeing? What kinds of mating rituals are you noticing?
i'm amazed and to be honest doubtful that anyone actually pays for this kind of information, it's paying for theory basically. i mean i get that the guys who run Nike or whatever are very interested in figuring out what's going to be popular soon. but i'm not very convinced that they'd pay for this kind of terminology. actual sales data for sure coz you can do a lot with that. but putting a name on it all, no.To me this is where the business model seems to have a problem.

TLDR - some people don't know and don't care, some people do care so they already know; where are the people who are gonna pay for this type of information?
