I edit and publish about 4 articles each week for a top women’s lifestyle publication. I took it upon myself to sub out the word “demure” in a piece I was editing and it triggered something within me seeing it pop up. Haven’t been able to put my finger on exactly why until I read this! You nailed it.
Absolutely nailed this. It’s one thing to slap “cringe” on a trend and another entirely to unpack why—there’s nothing cringier than disguised capitalism and you exposed that perfectly. Obsessed with your words
I have been a bit too online lately but I saw where the “demure” trend was going about a week in. Dear lord, the inundation. Thank you for dissecting it a bit.
Nothing sucks the fun out of life like capitalism!
it's all a corporate cash grab in the end!! love how capitalism ruins everything that we enjoy!!!
