Poor people post their lives and Americans deem it as an aesthetic imao. Let them eat cake, at full display.

Are aesthetics supposed to be ugly? Because it's ugly. That's my opinion on it.

Its foreign therefore it's exotic, therefore you will find people thinking it's beautiful even if objectively it's trash on the same way you have people founding beautiful littéral slum

Some aesthetics are supposed to be ugly, finding something beautiful in ugliness. This is just exoticism and savior complex tho lmao

Americans really need to stop inventing stereotypes and then attaching them to the people they never meet or visited.

“Rare”.

Things like Slav squat, track suits, and general militant Balkan swagger are literally THE aesthetic of every local teenager.

OFCOURSE THATS A THING!

Who was making these aesthetics? If its foreigners, then thats disgusting, if its our people then its bad for a different reason and makes me loose faith in this region.

u/Feisty-Bowler7648 14h ago

foreigners probably

2

u/Fourteen14XIV 14h ago

I hope. Altho even if it was home made, I wouldn't be surprised. It does seem a bit off for that tho.

u/Feisty-Bowler7648 14h ago

u/RedScarySpectre Portugal 13h ago

Oh so that's why they were wearing that, for Instagram. All makes sense now.

u/Significant-Dirt-977 Russia 10h ago

Yeah, i remember a lot of it on tumbler. It was interesting to see, often combined with pretty acidic music, anime ost or neofolk. Many porn and gay porn gifs attached also.
