Just a mirror for the attention craving 24h breaking news cycle society where the biggest fear for most teenagers and adults is irrelevance and being normal.

- asdff 7y agoIs it much different today than when we were ostracized as kids for not wearing abercrombie or having a razr? Teenagers have never not been materialistic and vain. They have nothing truly significant going on in their life to focus on yet, so they pick each other apart to stratify themselves. At the reunion in 20 years, these people will be much more interested in who became the oncologist instead of who wore gucci slides in geometry and currently folds jeans at the gap.
