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 mortals
I 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 maymays
Trust me they live in a completely different realm of oblivion than everyone else

YougLA 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)

It 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

>wasting their money on shitty overpriced clothing
If 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?

Is that why you ended up being such a delightful person?
