what would happen if pop culture were to die out…. no more idolizing celebrities, no more influencers to watch, no more fast fashion, no more exploiting factory workers, no more diet teas and supplements, no more surgical body modifications, no more waist trainers, no more face fillers, and no more upholding european features as the epitome of beauty. what would happen if you returned to how you were in your youth? the person you were before you were told who you ‘should’ be? there’s no audience to perform for; you return to yourself
