How Internet Aesthetics Poison You - they’re Brainrot

[@olakonopka4646]

my man showed up in yt recommendations and started spitting straight facts

[@chaselongboards]

already agree just by the title. everything is _____ aesthetic or ___-core. just do what you like!!

[@leons.place.youtube]

Hahaha fr

[@sunstardrummer]

Smell clean and fresh,neat and clean.
Thats the way 😅

[@KYLETISZAI]

Are you hating on Kylecore

[@떡볶이나리]

this is so TH-cam comment-core fr

[@kismorr8238]

The fact that someone went out of their way to message you about your cantal tilt is hilarious to me

[@leons.place.youtube]

Right🤣

[@KYLETISZAI]

Is that his light hair piece

[@whoisisabel5730]

OHH this has made me so upset for so long. i can never understand why people want to stick themselves into a box, and not just wear what they want to wear regardless of if its in or not

[@Bubble23428]

It happens in my area too irl but it’s not as bad as the internet. Also most of these people are probably insecure about wearing whatever they want.

[@Bubble23428]

Also It’s just clothing for god sake there‘s nothing wrong with wearing whatever clothing items you like. It’s not the 1900‘s or pre 1900’s anymore. Those people shouldn’t worry about wearing clothes that are in or out of fashion.

[@leons.place.youtube]

Yess. Putting yourself in a box is just limiting you

[@seiratannn]

I am a gym shorts and t-shirt trailer trash aesthetic ❤ lol
But for real I used to see guys with cool aesthetics and awesome clothes and an aesthetic house and I realized I can't be them. I don't have the financial resources to create the aesthetics that those niche expensive clothes and decor items can. So I felt bad that I couldn't "become aesthetic." But I feel like people in the *real world* don't even *care* about aesthetic clothes, except maybe if they are going to an event or if they are in rich social circles. I rarely see anyone with a particularly interesting style. Most people are just living their life without internet brainrot telling them what standards they have to live up to. Delete social media, you will be better off without it.
Good topic and good video. :)

[@leons.place.youtube]

Exactly. Just be yourself

[@groovyhannah8517]

Such a great video. There is beauty in simplicity, in originality. There is beauty in each of us, and I feel like the internet is trying to reduce us to groups that can be labeled. But you can't be labeled if you are just being yourself ❤ that is something that I am coming to terms with in life. That I can't be defined like that

[@minacamoglu1419]

I just watched the 15 seconds and immediately liked and subscribed: FINALLY someone speaks about it! Thank you!

[@nilsmadej9091]

I think you're quite correct, but something important to mention is that "aesthetics" in the current use means a style, so the different aesthetics are a way of classifying and labelling the different styles.
This classification is helpful in understanding the theme of the aesthetic without outright describing it by evoking a certain image, and finding it, which is also very useful on the Internet where there's thousands of "aesthetics".
All the things you mentioned seem to point more towards an issue eith how we engage with Internet, it's structure and the algorithms that drive it.
Algorithms love this kind of simple classification and extremes. The more extravagant a getup or decor is, the more engagements it will have.
I'm afraid there's very little we can do about it for now, but we can acknowledge that the images of aesthetics that we may try to live up to are nothing but curated snapshots, snippets specifically crafted to be unattainable.
We have to be responsible and remember that Internet is not real life.

[@leons.place.youtube]

@@nilsmadej9091 thats true

[@arthoseok1754]

YESSSS, finally someone speaking my thoughts! I appreciate your bravery stepping out on the internet like that and talking about this. It's something that has been concerning me for quite some time now, and the fact that people don't seem to look through this brainwash content (most people, at least) sometimes feels spooky...

[@glokingambo5983]

I loved this. I agree. I love beauty too, but social media has definitely weaponized beauty

[@doge7443]

i just watched till the end and the way u explained everything is just so through and through and well said im subscribing!!

[@leons.place.youtube]

Thank you so much!!

[@OfficialSmallSpaceGarden]

The best aesthetic is just actual life, not confined to some brain rot tiktoks

[@Momolaranya]

wow i thought these aesthetics weren't real 💀guess im not that online

[@stalez5250]

Yow kid, well done 👍
You are acing this.
You are that young guy who will become later that adult whose dreams always come true. You can achieve big things. Unless you will enjoy a smaller, simple life. Follow your heart, you will shine.
Elon Musk was a youngster at one point.
You can become a strong member of upper class or farmer if you want. Just keep your professionalism up, make mistakes and fail but rise. If you will stand up after everytime you fall, Im sure you'll get there where you want to be.

[@leons.place.youtube]

Thank you so much, this means a lot. I know I’ll make it big one day and it’s important to start early on. I appreciate your lovely words. 🫂

[@jessicam807]

you are sooo young (much younger than myself at least) but this is veryy on point, commenting to feed the algorithm keep the content coming you're gonna have success

[@leons.place.youtube]

Thank you so much 💌

[@its-samantha]

[@selontherun]

I love the way you talk! You talk like a best friend of mine :)

[@leons.place.youtube]

Oh thank you!

[@Natalia1616]

when grunge was popular no one wanted to be named and now every little thing has to be under some aesthetic and if not a new aesthetic has to be created I think it will get so absurd that people will return to the idea of ​​grunge btw love your videos 🥰

[@ZeeGreed]

Thank you ❤

[@em1l144]

Thank you thank you thank you
Been thinking about this for a while

[@janaekelis]

the worst thing is when someone mislabels an aesthetic so all the comments start arguing over which one it actually is 🙃 speaking as someone who is alternative we did this alot before tiktok and it got exhausting FAST. i thought arguing with an adult over what subculture a skirt was was annoying but teens on tiktok take the cake. i literally just scroll and post whatever i like on there

[@leons.place.youtube]

Omg so stupid

[@Tarambabula]

Maaan, great video! Feel your passion in topic and you got a great talking style. I will subscribe for sure and I guess I will check your others videos as well.

[@Tarambabula]

And pretty thing you said about "life aesthetic"

I'm homeless dude on the side on the street aesthetic❤ I just throw shit together and go out and people eat my outfits up

[@ever2440]

I completely agree with this vid

[@stephanieni5580]

Soooo well said

[@stephanieni5580]

Thank god This is crucial

[@noodledaddy3234]

i agree so bad also why do we need a title for everything??

[@yar8564]

No offense but...the rant was unhinged. I don't even disagree with your point! It's just that, from the outside, it's pretty clear that the brainrot has a tendency to jump around and land in the blind spots. Do you think you'll watch this back ten years from now and think of your current point of view the same way you currently think of your previous point of view?

[@leons.place.youtube]

Hey, ofc I will have a different opinion in 10 years. But thats normal. We all evolve, I’m literally 15 and it’s okay if I have a different opinion than other people. What do you mean by brainrot jumping around in blind spots tho?
