TikTok's Unexpected Obsession: Old-Fashioned Currency Goes Viral!
The Impact of Social Media: From Personal Cringes to Societal Reflections on Fashion Trends
It's no secret that many of us cringe when confronted with our weekly script time reports, acknowledging our excessive screen time. However, amidst the hours spent online, there are valuable takeaways like international awareness, community building, and even fashion inspiration. Social media platforms not only enable us to create and follow, but also to reflect.
On a broader scale, these platforms have become vital spaces for marginalized communities to challenge societal power structures and raise their voices. On a personal level, they have transformed our relationship with various aspects of our lives, including how we perceive and engage with fashion. What may initially appear as a fleeting trend on TikTok holds greater significance, serving as a reflection of society itself. A notable example is the recent surge in popularity of "old money" fashion.
Phrases such as "quiet luxury," "wealth to steal," and "wearing old money" have circulated widely across Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, and various media outlets (including our own). While the terminology may vary, the underlying concept explores how wealth is expressed through clothing, invoking both disdain and acceptance.
