Do aesthetics map to politics?

Perhaps I should have specified "self-care". I wasn't talking about actually looking after yourself. I was talking about the performative, social media infographic strain of mental health culture, particularly coming out of the US.

Aye I was extrapolating out with allusions and no doubt what Americans invest in we usually follow up with

Roy Andersson coloured scenes are the institutionalised colours I see at work - a myriad of pale pale yellows, weird almost turquoise greens, faded lighter greens, sky blues particularly in loos, shittest poster information displays ever which mean nothing

Yeah, I've really noticed this resurrection of baggy recently

slouching about, staring at the floor. its weird cos teens have been mega confident and glamourous for almost 20 years now. then these pitiful covid cripples shuffle onto the scene. poor them i guess.

Maybe something good is brewing then, and these wretches are still in their chrysalis form.

what was striking for me was how the dowdy sexless clothes matched the total lack of confidence and social skills. im used to teenagers being more poised than me but covid must of fucked this loat coming along when they were probably doing their GCSEs and that

Is there something suspect about a glamorous communist?

Probably social media too. They're gonna be more conscious than anyone of everything being filmed and photographed and stuck online. They've grown up knowing nothing but the digital panopticon.

You can see how the young define fashion, looking all skinny and clear skinned and devil may care about cigarettes

It’s an ongoing process of being beautiful and cool enough to pull off the until-very-recently -uncool

An oscillation, might do an essay on trousers now I’m thinking about it

There was one on coat length and economic boom and bust

Blame skateboarders. They brought the baggy thing back a few years ago.
