Is there anything more cringe than people who buy shit because some celeb wore it? Why would you ever do this? I've never wanted to buy anything in 99% of the ads I've seen in my entire life. What's causing people to be so retarded?
Taste is something interior, a good sense that rejects the ugly and guides itself to the better. Fashion is a social system that attempts to regulate and control the average taste. In this it is guided by the garment industry at large, in turn by finance capital, in the expropriation of value the world over. Music, television, movies, online video platforms - in short, the multimedia complex - raises celebrities through its subsidiary farm systems much as a sports club might - local and state news networks, children’s programming, etc., all become talent pools where global celebrities can be bred, trained, and elevated to the world stage. Once there, the tremendous values invested in their lifestyles demands repayment, and this value is captured as advertising using the celebrity’s likeness. And fashion, for the reasons above as well as the obvious presumption of superior celebrity beauty, is one of the key participants in this kind of ad campaign. Since the celebrities are well loved by their fans and followers, they’re likely to want to look like them, making this kind of advertising an extremely effective emotional sell. Does that answer your question?
>>18582264Why is the average person so retarded that they can't see they're being manipulated?
>>18582266It’s not a manipulation. Taste takes what it likes from fashion and makes style. If it’s to your taste to look like a K-POP celebrity, who is to say you’re being manipulated if the market makes that available to you?
>>18582261Celebrities are marketed as attractive, aspirational figures, and people want to emulate that. Not hard to figure out, c'mon OP, just say you think normies are stupid little sheep because they engage in celebrity worship, it's fine. >>18582337I mean, it is manipulation in a sense since marketing attempts to induce desire in consumers so that they buy products. This isn't necessarily 'bad' or 'good' in and of itself; that's just how it works. Consciously going out of your way to 'avoid being manipulated' is beyond retarded though, imagine allowing your life to be ruled by marketers like some kind of schzio who think he's being gangstalked into buying BTS merch
>>18582342>>18582264>>18582266>consumer buys cool clothing item because he saw it on a celebrity and thought it looked cool>this is somehow manipulation
>>18582261I bought a little piece of plastic for $40 and I drink out of it daily
>>18582261Nigger, stop bullshitting us. Everything you wear was inspired by some celebrity or public figure, consciously or unconsciously. You're just too retarded to realize it. That's how fashion and trends work. You're not some genius auteur who came up with his fashion sense all by himself.
>>18582261low self esteem and a desire to purchase acceptance and validation. see brands like acronym and its weird asian fan base who just wanna ape its cuckold designer
>>18582419> doesn't know that celebrities have stylists that give them shit to wear as real life product placement for (((billionaires)))
>>18582446Sheep
>>18582847a guy with a job in dressing people up chose this specific garment and styled it in a cool way on a celebrity that i like... and this is le bad because billionaires?
>>18582866>b-b-but muh millionaires and billionaires!!!
>>18582866Nobody said it's good or bad. Wipe the cum out of your gay eyes, stop thinking about giant cocks for five seconds and stick to the topic: Is it manipulation or not?Yes it is. It's a form of advertising, and advertising is manipulation.It's a pretty simple concept for anyone whose mind hasn't been so broken by guzzling litres of jizz every day
>>18582859I also watch caseoh daily.
