Lifting is more popular than ever and consequently there is a massive pool of impressionable dyel teenagers wasting their money on shitty overpriced clothing, but I have a hard time believing that brands like YoungLgAy are making enough money to stay in business when their product output looks like picrel.And not only are they staying in business, they're doing well enough to sponsor dozens of gay gym influencers like lexx faggle and the troon twins, who are earning enough from their commissions to live in rich LA neighborhoods and drive lambos. What the fuck is going on? Are normies really blowing this much money on gym clothes?
You have to realize there's an entire world beyond your flyover or third world shithole of rich kids people in their 30's who live in a completely different dimension and spiritual state than the rest of us mortalsI wouldnt call them elites, but it's three steps below it and five steps ahead of being an average joe I went to a school filled with rich kids when i was 6 to 12 yo and a couple had b league tier sports team owner dads, verifiable and mentioned by teachers not my dad works at nintendo maymaysTrust me they live in a completely different realm of oblivion than everyone else
>>77208374YougLA and Gym Shark are this generation's Nike and Adidas. Smaller brands like Breathe Divinity are only in it for the easy access to influencer pussy(bussy)
>>77208401No they're not, retard.
>>77208401It used to be that we followed in the footsteps of our idols and wore the same clothes as they did in the hopes of emulating and mirroring their own lives and lifestyles.Now it seems as if we've skipped the middleman or reversed the formula, and those who would have once been in such aspirational positions are now merely the vehicles for the true stars of culture: The brands on their jackets and the logos on their shoes.
I know a guy who spent almost my monthly salary on two pairs of shoes (Y3 and Balenciaga). He makes the minimum wage since he works in my country's version of Walmart, but he has enough disposable income to pay for this shit.
some people are retarded and do spend $100s on shitty hypebeast clothes every month
>>77208382explain. so you are saying they are the ones keeping dumb clothing lines alive?
>>77208374>wasting their money on shitty overpriced clothingIf spending money on overpriced clothing actually affects your quality of life and cuts into your finances to the point of being mutually exclusive with other purchases, the clothing isn't for you. Luxury brands are just that, a luxury - the point is to reliably signal that i can in fact drop a few hundred $ on overpriced gym clothing without care. It doesn't affect me, like spending pennies on a plastic bag for their groceries doesn't affect anyone not in poverty. Same goes for luxury cars, luxury watches, luxury anything. It's for financially stable people that aren't affected by buying it. If you're a poor trying to appear rich by sacrificing their quality of life, then you will remain poor regardless because you're a fucking retard making wrong purchases for wrong reasons. Your retardation is bound to make you fail regardless. All is as it should be. Don't buy shit you can't afford, not hard to grasp is it?
>>77208382Is that why you ended up being such a delightful person?
>>77209084>If spending money on overpriced clothing actually affects your quality of life Hey nigger, spending money can still be a waste even if the spending doesn't affect your quality of life. I could buy every piece of shitty ugly clothing youngla has, but it would still be a waste of money because it's shitty ugly clothing. If you feel compelled to buy every gay fucking tom and jerry shirt they shit out because you think it will make your shitty physique look better fine, but stop trying to rationalize it as normal or intelligent behavior
>>77208401This. I get the sense that working out in Nike shirts is considered unfashionable to zoomers
How's Gymshark quality?I expected them to be expensive but they're pretty decently priced now that I'm checking.I'm getting tired of Adidas that's all I wear
I thought gymshark was a chick's clothing brand?? I'll be on the lookout for dudes in my gym wearing it. Also this thread now has me feeling self conscious in my boomer Adidas and Nike shirts. Mother fuckers
thanks for reminding me I want pic rel
>>77209616all brands are chick brands. chicks do 90% of the buying and often decide what their boyfriends wear as well
>>77209076Yes you dont need a large amount of regulars that's why they markup their shit x100 All you need is periodical large campaigns to get one time buyer retards every trimester and a small handful of loyals
>>77208382I’m betting it’s this, and I also went to school with the same type of rich kids. There’s a good chance these brands could exist solely as tax write offs for their parents, you never know. Or the parents are bankrolling them and doing a kind of loss-leader where they essentially pay for enough exposure to will it into being insanely profitable. At my school, one kid’s parents created a whole charitable foundation, complete with staff, for him to larp as an activist and pad his college application—yes, he got into Harvard, in case you were wondering, lol.>are normies spending this much on gym clothes?Never underestimate how much most people will pay to be seen as cool or to have a sense of belonging. Lots of people live for others’ validation.
>>77208382>>77209693Thanks for bringing back memories of boarding school
>>77209682What did you mean by the rich kids who 'live in a completely different realm of oblivion than everyone else'
