There is one thing for uber wealthy people to act poor but I dont care if a wealthy person finds happiness in a frugal lifestyle. Sharing in cultures is vital to the human experience.
The crazy thing is that i i were filthy rich, the only thing that would change is that i wouldn't go to work anymore, and i'd probably invest in some sort of farm/weekly market where you can buy actually fresh and cheap veggies and things like that and i wouldn't have to care if it makes money. So i totally get that aspect of it. But pretending to be a complete hippie and selling that lifestyle while you're clearly not, just seems weird
Not trying to be a contrarian but a lot of hippies were from rich backgrounds which is why they didn’t have to work to begin with.
See if there are any Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) orgs in your area, I used to go pick up a big box of produce every week at the farm where they grew them, was cool
I don't disagree with your sentiment taken in a vacuum, but gentrification (of housing and activities in general) is 100% a real thing and is almost always due to rich people trying to live a "frugal lifestyle." Idk man, shit just sucks all around
Yeah, I get that but the complaint that these people with wealthy parents get to focus on art and lifestyle is a failure of the system not the person.
We should all be able to do that but only the wealthy can, so spread the wealth yeah but dont hate on arts and independent thought, trying new things and seeking an environment you enjoy.
? in my expereince it's just people with some money trying to find a affordable place to live... and it gets nicer, so richer people are interested in it... and so on and so on.
it's cyclical.
Had a real waking up moment last week leaving one of my favorite venues seeing the band Chat Pile in a crowd of crusty, unwashed, punks, only to look at the parking lot after the show and see it filled with current model year Teslas, Mercedes, etc.
Describes every major festival since the 2000s
I mean give the price of tickets. I have went to like 3 concerts (paid for rock ones) in my lifetime and never to a festival that had admission.
Love Chat Pile! Actually saw them on Saturday night in Chattanooga, on their new tour with Portrayal of Guilt. They always put on a fantastic show.
They're phenomenal live, I've seen them twice in Asheville now and considered driving down to the Chattanooga show haha. Did he do the movie trivia bit with your crowd?
That's just called Burning Man
Is that like your brother or what?
They say you can always spot them by their teeth.
And their expensive dye jobs and tattoos. I saw a woman panhandling downtown the other day, wearing brand new Asics, with full sleeve tattoos and bright purple hair. Fuck that honestly, i wish I had tattoo money. Not only that, they see you pushing a stroller and beg for money. Every cent I have belongs to my kids, you entitled, fake poor pricks. The wealthy Western kids that Panhandle while traveling are by far the most deplorable though
Reminds me of portrayal of societies "kinda like Middle East" in American sci-fi shows.
this is the culture of most of my city. lots of people in very expensive clothes, beards, and etc that make them look like semi homeless bums. who work for a tech company and are banking six figures.
Tech people look like semi homeless bums because we don't know how to dress ourselves. We aren't buying expensive clothes. We're spending our money on hardware, goofy nerdy shit, or investing in stonks for some reason.
You'll be sitting all day, might as well be comfortable.
I don’t give my money to anyone, usually. Except specifically some nader chasers I’ve
followed for years. They’re out there losing windshields for my enjoyment. That’s it tho.The rich have always imitated the rest of us.
Tattoos used to see you barred from many military and civil service organizations. Now ink is considered cosmopolitan and they're allowed.
Low-income service workers used to occupy the top floors of residential buildings, and even set up makeshift accomodation on building roofs. They called them penthouses.
Look at the shift in treatment of marijuana in the United States over the last decade.
can I have a source for that second claim? Wikipedia says penthouses were specifically designed to be upscale property as early as 1923
My understanding is prior to the invention of the elevator, the expensive floor was the ground floor.
Now thats what I call appropriating.
like half of the Grateful Dead tour on the late 80s and early 90s
This guy sucks.
FYI: Trustafarian is a word that has been used for at least 25 years. He thinks its new.
Anyways, I digress. Most trustafarians also suck, but this guy sucks for entirely different reasons.
I’m not familiar with him, why does he suck?
If you listen to the first 3 or 4 minutes of this edgelords rant and don't get why he sucks... and don't see any red flags ... well, if you'd like to pay me for my time, message me and I can send you my venmo, and upon receipt of $10, I'll explain it to you.
edit: to all y'all who think I owe y'all my time, you're as entitled as this custie trustafarian pictured above.
We used to use the term in the mid 90s to describe the kids hanging out in Berkeley begging for cigarette money, then getting picked up in Mercs to get driven home in the hills. They were usually white kids with dreads.
They were dumbass kids. I'm sure the current batch are dumasses too I was never a fan, but in the scheme of things, there is a lot worse out there.
Tell me you've never heard of Meat Canyon without telling me you've never heard of Meat Canyon
Yeah kinda weird people watch this tbh. Like who really cares?
Papa Meat!!!
