When Your Entire Life Has to Be ✨Aesthetic✨

Video Description

#overconsumption #consumerism #luxuryapartments Since trends like the clean girl aesthetic, “that girl” routines, Amazon hauls, Home Goods hauls and fridge restock videos (to name a few) have taken over TikTok, influencers have normalized constantly buying useless new things just because they’re pretty. In this video, I’m unpacking the toxic rise of aesthetic home decor culture, the TikTok-fueled obsession with luxury apartments, and how influencer content has made people feel insecure for not having homes that look like Pinterest boards. The constant stream of seasonal decor hauls and obsession with literally everything being aesthetic is driving people into stress and shame all to chase a home that looks good in a post but feels empty in real life.
