Designer clothing was already a thing that was big and known before 2016-2017 but then came the youtubers that took it to another level, buying things such as, supreme dog bowls, supreme lock boxes, bape chairs, and bape pillow cases which were all in the price range of 100-300 over things that would simply cost 10 dollars at most if not labeled with supreme or bape. Kanye west dropped his new shoe(yeezys) which in my opinion at first were ugly until i started to see the way they were worn, then i started to think they were actually really nice and fashionable. All around the world u could see someone with a pair of yeezys and knockoffs of the shoe started to be sold rapidly on the internet. Personally i thought that the knockoff versions wouldn't be a problem until i found out about the price range of the shoe which was around 400-1000 dollars. I thought that was outrages for a shoe that wasn't even that appealing but others didn't or either they did so they bought the knock off versions, the thing with the knockoff versions was that they looked so similar to the real shoe that it was hard to tell the difference. Then here comes the youtubers which i felt like weren't a problem until they started to get to cocky. Let me inform you about youtube. Youtube is a platform giving people the ability to post videos of just about anything if appropriate. Also youtube pays a LOT of money to the people that post videos on to it and get lots of views. Basically a way to cheat life if you want to compare it to actually getting a real job that requires lots of labor. Using this youtube money the big names on youtube such as ricegum and faze banks started to buy lots of designer clothing and shoes and show it off in vlogs, Which i personally thought was fine untill they started coming up with these cringe names like splurge(spending lots of money on designer things) which i thought were a little bit overboard. Imagine this, Take a shoe that you personally would not think about wearing and put a price of 1000 dollars on it and get a couple of well known people to wear it and i bet the shoe might magically become more appealing to you. It's a trap that i've gotten myself into they made a web and lured me right into it. Which i really don't regret but what bothers me is the fact that i was put under their spell. Which made me feel disappointed in myself just a teeny tiny bit but also made me feel good inside it's like that feeling when your mom calls you to the room and you think you're in trouble but she really says she's proud of u, that little tingly feeling in your stomach that's how it feels and i know you who's reading this has had that feeling before. And that brings me to the conclusion/belief that being a hypebeast(someone that likes designer clothing) is actually lit and that people like to express themselves in different ways whether it's playing sports or liking designer there is no wrong way to express your feelings except for something like illegal. This has shaped me into the person i am today because it gave me more of an appreciation to having nice things and loving my parents for the little things they do like buying me nice clothing and shoes. And now i understand that the world is full of people who like to express themselves in some way,shape, or form and that you should to.
