We often fall victim to trends when it comes to aesthetics — color choices, color combinations, clothing fashion, car design, etc.

Don’t allow others to tyrannize over your aesthetic and artistic tastes

This means:

When you look at things, colors, design, art, or your own art … instead of asking others for their opinion, focus and ask yourself: “Do I prefer this and truly find it beautiful”?

This is the best way to not become a “culture vulture”— chasing trends just to fit in or to feel “cool”!
