societal looks
In merchants of cool they were showing pop stars like Britney Spears. These artists and other pop stars are influencers upon teenagers. The videos and pictures posted by them are what make teenagers try so hard to fit in. If Britney Spears wore this skirt in her video, and I wear it to school I will be cool. Picture after picture on social media, create an idea of what teenagers, especially girls, have to live up to. The standards are set high, and a lot of teenagers spend tons of money to fit these standards. It still happens to this day with an example of Kylie Jenner. We want to be as beautiful as the models on Instagram and Snapchat, so we photoshop and edit our pictures for hours to look a way that society wants us to look.
I constantly see how advertisements make women of all ages believe that they’re supposed to look a certain way. Which is sick because the reason for sayings these things is to make you feel worse so you buy their products. They make you feel bad about your appearance and then give you the solution to the problem you never really had in the first place.
