I saw a YouTube video about “why do rich people want to dress poor”.
And I think the main take away was that poor people are more hip. So they think it makes them look cool.
And that ultimately they don’t want people to think they are snooty rich people because this makes them a target.
I have met rich kids at the last university I attended and I can say that rich kids are much more boring people. They have no interesting stories. No sage advice to share with classmates that came from a hardship or traumatic experience.
They are bland as fuck. And I think they know it.
A friend of mine used to call them “white bread/bred”
We are both white. But these type of people are like clueless to how the world works. No concept of being down and out.
For instance I had complained to a fellow student at said university that I was nervous about losing funding and how to afford rent and they said with complete sencerity…
"Dani, just get a credit card "
Like , how could I be so dumb?. Of course. Just get a credit card. Or better yet, have my parents get me one.
I can’t believe I didn’t think of that.
But that’s a legit example of what I mean by being completely clueless.
And this wasn’t some 18 year old. This was grad school. So another student in their mid to late 20s said this to me.
I wonder if that holds true in general, the poorer you are, the harder your life has been, more interesting you become. Would that make a sub-saharan handicapped trans gal the most interesting person in the world to be around?
Might be high end fashion.
Really expensive clothes look like poor people clothes.
Like you spilled bleach in your shirt.
Idk.
That’s not even slightly satirical, that’s been true for decades. Ever since the first pair of ripped jeans.

I dunno, I kinda want to meet her now. Seems like she has some stories!
No, that’s not how it works, lol
Derelicte
true and often have intentional rips and holes in them
I never wear a shirt that has fewer than 4 holes
I think you’re very correct, I see this type of shit all the time with expensive clothes.
That’s probably a $300 T-shirt, not joking. For a guy like that, $300 is like me spending $1 on a shirt at the flea market because I like it.
