Theory:

The new modern day trend is that it is an imperative to uglify yourself to the max.

The logic:

1. The world is all pain, suffering, badness and evil.. and I feel I cannot do anything about it.
2. I hate myself and the way I feel about myself, and the way I will dull these negative feelings is to drug myself and pacify myself with Netflix, music, Spotify, noise canceling headphones, YouTube, weed, alcohol, drugs, and food and beverages.
3. As a consequence, one’s body becomes uglier.
4. Then… “I hate myself and the way my body looks … let’s make it even more ugly to lean into the ugly aesthetic”.
5. Let me put on ugly clothes, ugly sweaters, have ugly pants and accessories… ugly hair, and make myself look as unkept as possible. “I’m going to make being ugly and looking ugly cool!”

Then… the hate and hatred towards the beautiful, tall, proud, strong, confident, happy, spartan, topless.
