influencers

I can’t help but feel that a part of me will always think skinnier is “better” because of the environment I grew up in. However, by appreciating the American take on body image, I’ve learned to believe that all bodies are beautiful and we should never dictate our worth based on the number on a scale.

Influencers such as Tate unashamedly capitalize on lonely men, forever shaping their perception of the world around them — a world where women should “obey” men because of their six-pack.

Taking stock of the things that make me happy in little ways always relaxes me and reminds me of the many blessings I enjoy in life. Try it out; you definitely don’t have to go into as much detail as this article!

For that reason, I know who I am at heart: always and forever a diehard Emma Chamberlain fan.

And of course, remind yourself that what Djerf  — and any other influencer — is selling is a lifestyle and a dream that cannot be attained solely by purchasing cute fruit-patterned robes or scrunchies.

Personally, I think the reason that Earle attracts so many viewers is because they feel as if they are getting to see her raw personality and experiences, instead of a perfectly edited highlight reel, as so much of influencer TikTok has become.

To combat this dystopian future, wouldn’t it be better if everyone tried to be their own “It Girl?” People can maintain this “It Girl” mentality and put themselves on a pedestal to celebrate their own individuality as well — there isn’t a “one size fits all model.” 

Slowly, however, I started to see an ongoing trend regarding how companies would take advantage of this media. The older I got, the more I began to see how my favorite YouTubers and influencers would amplify their sponsors in their videos or posts. 

After the lapse in 2020-2021 fashion trends during the pandemic, 2022 is seeing an exciting comeback in the fashion industry. With social media influencers largely dictating the current fashion scene, trends are moving faster than ever before.
