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.
That’s not even slightly satirical, that’s been true for decades. Ever since the first pair of ripped jeans.
