@nicole_nathern_hedrick: Media Break Day 2 Ever notice how subcultures trying to look "anti-establishment" often end up wearing the exact same uniform? 🧐 From specific jewelry trends to niche aesthetics, the reality of modern alternative style might surprise you. It turns out that critiquing mainstream consumerism while maintaining heavy corporate brand loyalty is one of the ultimate modern contradictions. Let’s break down the actual sociology and spending data behind visual countercultures and consumer irony.Drop your thoughts in the comments below! 👇 #culturalanalysis #sociology #consumerism #fashiontrends #subculture

moparbob79 :

Because they seem to block the sense of reality

Eevee's dad :

Why do liberals hate "red hats"

Dr_Catmilk :

Pattern recognition

fern :

The goal was supposed to be a super edgy stand out from the crowd but they’ve only pigeonholed themselves as highly suggestible, hive minded devotee.

VoyagerplzRespond :

I dont understand why she's worried about what conservatives find attractive. Is she trying to woo a "fascist"

ZandZay :

I had a lil bitty nose ring..then someone called me a.liberal..so i took.it out.

Crystal Blu :

I don't hate it because it shows me who not to engage with. 😂

Andy :

I’m all for it. They label themselves, easy to avoid.

SLIT282 :

nailed it. it looks stupid and it is stupid

Feraldrift :

Liberals always assume I am conservative because drive a truck and wear cowboy boots and hat. It pisses me off.

junky309 :

I don’t think people really hate them, it just that the septum ring has turned into a hyper liberal political statement

Scott :

Because they are obviously a signifier of being part of a cult at this point.

robert richie :

I never hated septum and nose rings until it became the badge of leftist democrats.

Giantprunes :

How do they tell themselves that something so mainstream is “different” as she says?

mrmark :

I want to look different, just like everyone else

PoptartBandit :

.... I am on the right and I've had mine for over 10 years 😂 IDC if anyone likes or dislikes it. lol why do they care so much 🤣

DianeNOKD :

My daughter has that look, but she’s conservative and voted for Trump. I was goth in the early 90s but also Catholic and a fan of Pat Buchanan. 😆

mik :

bulls and boars

Eevee's dad :

Why do liberals hate the confederate flag?

Jaydee :

I don't hate them. I used to have a nose ring (not a septum piercing). But when my daughter asked for one this was honestly my first thought. I didn't tell her no or mention the bull ring to her but I was not mad when she backed out on her own.

Cody :

thatguy00774 :

“I don’t support Patagonia! This is thrifted” lmao

David Forthman :

Hive mindset.

Vegas Bobby T :

I wouldn’t say that I hate them. I just think they look ugly. But that’s just my personal opinion.

JG :

Your commentary is always spot on.
