What does "Urban" look like? What are some words that describe our generation? What do we wear? What are your habits? Why do we buy what we buy? What do you gravitate towards? What makes thing "Hip?" What do you consume online? I would really appreciate some perspectives. Thanks ahead of time to my fellow facebookers!
i think that we are a genration of followers, attachers. pseudo-independent thinkers. we latch on to ideas and fads and we use "who did/wore it best" to know who next to idolize. originality has been redefined as mere variation of things that already exist. (fbook,twitter are examples.. so are our trends in the fashion industry ). i think that we as a generation in the US specifically have foregone the idea of morality and substituted it for self complacency or impulsive fulfillment.
i think "hip" can be defined as a style of dress. one that includes many layers and or colors. think 80's fresh prince.... but not sure..
i think consumption varies with trends, and with idols as said before. mostly clothes, maybe books...travel
"urban" is synonymous with "hip" at this point. flip open an american apparel/urban outfitter magazine. is what the "cool kids are doing"
roomate sayss...
"awkwardness is our generation's biggest sin" -->im assuming she meant: everything is done as if we are mere actors on a stage. like we mold ourselves in order to avoid not being looked upon as an outsider/rejected.
"in regards to clothes, everyone tries to be different and in that process everyone becomes the same."
yea...we go to DUKE lol
