That have bought in to the worst part of capitalism. It contains people who have killed their originality and then attempted to buy back a prepackaged "originality."
What I mean is there are all these adults that walk around that dress like/look for careers/homes/things/objects that say they are young. But they also want it to be expensive to seem mature. They want to seem grown up by buying things that make them appear young and creative and fresh. They already sold their creativity to getting their job and home and lifestyle. But they want it back. And they think they can buy it back.
They think they can buy soul.
They are like fucking mall goths. They bought back. They tried to buy their authenticity. I am not saying I am authentic anything.
They want to seem irresponsible without being irresponsible. We are all contradictions.
But people here are sold how to live. They are sold their meaning. So clearly. So ostentatiously. They have more freedom here than in many surrounding countries and yet choose to buy the meaning to their freedom.
