I'm conflicted about the appropriation aspect of it. This whole rural aesthetic fashion is obviously coming from modern young men being confused about how to be masculine now as well as a generic naivete about rural life and nature in general that make them see their escape from stressful office bullshit through rose colored glasses. Mostly though, part of it is just a return to valuing the different types of skills necessary in that setting. This is great, and it is great for their perception of rural people in general, because they are bad at something that people who they look down on find easy - and it changes their mind. It is a mixed bag, and seems like an overall good to me.
