Date: November 2nd, 2024 9:29 AM Author: Fucking Fuckface Early xo was obsessed with the boundaries between prole, striver, and wealth, and the indicia of each.
AE was a topic, just like fused suits were a topic, to establish a base level of acceptable dress for not being prole. In the former case, it meant having leather soles and the option to refurbish them as needed, though woe be unto those who chose blutchers over oxfords. Of course, those with wealth would choose JL or EG over AE. But at least you weren't a prole with AE.

Date: November 2nd, 2024 9:42 AM Author: Fucking Fuckface I think the difference is that most xomos have aged into the realization that they won't ever be sufficiently wealthy. So you see a lot more prole-tolerant and striver-resigned poasting than the early days.
It's pretty rare to even see a ridiculously snobby comment about something being prole unless it's the absolute creme de la creme.
You're much more likely to see shit like "congrats on having $2 million... You maede it!" |
