The whole video just feels like its them play-pretending to be adults. "First, heres me eating my sophisticated adult breakfast, Next, I commute to work with other adults to do my important big girl job while dressed in my fancy adult clothes. Then I do my adulting at work..."
These girls understanding of the world comes from shitty romantic movies where the young woman moves to the big city to find love.

I guess this falls under consoomer culture as well?

It's amazing how they all have the same format, same monotone voiceover, same empty lifestyle portrayed...
...is this some kind of "recruitment campaign" by big tech or just bugpeople being bugpeople?

"I live in the American Gardens building on West 81st street. My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me. Only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our life styles are probably comparable, I simply am not there."

You're not really exercising anymore, when you do that many. Time to add in some weights.

You're not supposed to exfoliate with scrubs everyday.

Mint on face is a bad ingredient and offer no benefits.

Aftershave is redundant when you got moisturiser.

I would prefer anti-aging ingredients on my whole face and not just around the eyes. Only difference from eye cream and regular face cream, is that the eye cream is specifically tested for the eye area. That does not mean the face cream is bad around the eyes, and it is cheaper because of not being tested.

I see no SPF either, so this guy is going to look old soon anyway.
It's not meant seriously, but they never get the stuff right.

Patrick Bateman would be the type to consoom Huey Lewis and The News albums while grinding women with a chainsaw at work with his high profile Wall Street job and his overpriced suit and ties with blood red lipstick on them.

Patrick is sadly, also a consoomer by definition. And yes I've read the original novel too, he seriously knows his brands. He also literally only drinks the most pretentious brands of bottled water, whether it's Perrier or Evian.

Is there a hard line standard, dollar value, or percentage for officially a "Consoomer"? I've been referred to as one simply for having my old Game Boy I've had since I got it as a Christmas present in 89 and a miniature Joust arcade cabinet game I won in a White Elephant game at a party.

It's really more of a mindset if anything. Bring a collector and a consoomer are two different things. Collecting and shelling out shekels for something you enjoy is more of a hobby and it doesn't consume your life. Consooming is when it does consume your life literally and it becomes your identity online or in real life.

Owning your childhood Game Boy doesn't make you a consoomer, but if you see this:
1649135978711.png

and feel like you're fundamentally lesser of a person for not owning one, and have a strong impulse to hunt one down and buy it in order to fulfill some deep-seeded desire to own that, regardless of whether or not you want to play Pokemon, or any 3DS game, then, you're a consoomer.

If that sounds like a completely unrelatable, bugfuck insane notion, then you've never even come close to becoming a consoomer.

You folks saying academics don't dress like that have clearly never fucked around with the girls who do full time lab work. It's either this shit or they look homeless, possibly both at the same time. Perils of having a PI who almost literally owns your ass.

Slightly powerleveling it's actually quite varied. The only thing that's important is that you have long sleeves, closed toed shoes, and hair tied. Often there is a jacket or sweater on because labs tend to be cold. There's many different styles when it comes to lab people but that's kind of the common thing.

This of course is actual professional labs and not academic labs but during my academics, it was quite the same.

Collectors actually care about quality and authenticity too.

I always thought Dark Academia was rooted in certain fandoms people were afraid they would 'outgrow' like Harry Potter and some shit.
It's basically if you threw a hipster, a nerd and a goth chick into a blender and added plenty of soy milk to dilute it?

That's sadly what's starting to pass for a personality with the kids these days. They obsess over "aesthetic", attempt to purchase as much as they can to portray that aesthetic (or pretend to), and then post on social media about it. If it's not something they can really purchase, or has limited merch like the bajillion genders and sexualities now, they make up for it with mass consumption of popular media and making said media about their aesthetic. It's all incredibly shallow or at least mindless. I've noticed dudes are less prone to it and tend to just fall into generic up town office vegan or generic gamer aesthetic if they do fall into the trap.

Generally, yes. The one exception is food trucks. Look for one with a decent queue and you'll rarely be disappointed. Had the best fish and chips of my life from a food truck in Texas, and I'm from an area where the fish and chips is treated as an art.
It's fun to mock Yank food from time to time, but done well it is amazing.

I’m guessing that food truck would be somewhere in the Galveston area?

And just like everything else, there's a wiki for it on Wikia.

Imagine looking up fashion aesthetics on the Internet instead of just wearing what you want. This is something teenage girls do. I almost feel bad for someone who would do this as an adult.

I don't think having an aesthetics wiki is bad in in of its self. If you like a style and don't know what its called, then you are going to have a hard time finding more of the thing you like. The website seems like it could be useful for learning new keywords when trying to find something specific.
