I'm not arguing that poor people have more things because its economical for them. I'm arguing that it's not elitist, opressive or pretentious for people who are well off to live this lifestyle just because some other people (definitely not poor refugees) who are on instagram and feel slighted that they cant afford to make their look minimalist enough for instagram. It's like being jealous of a girl at school just because her family can afford nicer clothing than you. The author is addressing the resulting fashion trend, and not the lifestyle, and assuming a bunch of rich people with mansions gave it all up just to try a new hairstyle persay, at the expense of the dignity of the masses, which is far from how I would see it.
