this shit is so depressing to me. the amount of narcissism in my generation is unreal. pretty girls are basically mini celebrities now, with 500+ likes on every post they make, and a constant group of admirers telling her how attractive she is non-stop on the internet. there’s no way that doesn’t affect someone’s ego.
i get that this phenomenon was around before the internet, but i cant help but think social media made it a million times worse.
- mathgenius 9y ago> pretty girls are basically mini celebrities It only lasts a few years, at most..
- symlinkk 9y agono it doesn't. it starts when they're 16 ish and goes until they're in their early 30's at least.
- ehnto 9y agoI don't know that we really have enough data for that claim. It's only been around for 7 years, and social media in general hasn't been that prevelant for much longer. None the less it will be interesting to see how these situations play out. The smart instagram celebrities are likely using the fame to make connections and legitimize their fame some how. Others will probably fade away as their current target markets grow up and shift interests.
- setr 9y agoI imagine its less narcissism and more hedonism; both the instagramer and -ee are just indulging on very basic, mindless kinds of imagery. An instantaneously pretty sight, and that's about it. But the main trouble is this shit is incredibly boring
