nor did I see "dorm outfitting" as some conspicuous class signal. the rich kids had nicer clothes and maybe newer laptops, but otherwise their dorms looked just as shitty as the rest. the "cool" dorms were decorated imaginatively, not expensively.
- ryanianian 5y agoFor some reason fancy rugs and bedding were very popular with the wealthier kids at my school. About 15 years ago. Faux fur and shag were all the rage. It seemed so fancy at the time, but in reality you can buy these items at Target for around $100, even back then. The desire to spend some money to show off a fancier "self-made" home existed, but it wasn't lead by a marketing system or influencers. I have no idea how they all came upon shag before social media was a thing, though.
