some strange modern day trends is this insanely strange bias of designing to have pets, dogs, maybe cats… Not children?
Also all of this weird gender ambiguous stuff is very weird to me. I think the funny thing was when I was in college, the whole idea of being “metrosexual“ was a thing; but the general you thought was a guy who kind of dressed “gay“ but was still very very manly and masculine. And the interesting sociology behind it was that in order for a man to become really really modern and manly and masculine, was for him to adopt more city like, Manhattan focus, aesthetic approaches like skinny tight fitting jeans (note in the 90s and 2000s… It was all about rappers with really baggy jeans), tight fitting clothes shirts and dress shirts (once again, the youth those of the time was all baggy everything… only gay guys would wear tight jeans and tight fitting clothes), having a messenger bag (also very strange and bizarre and unheard of the time), even some dudes having purses (funny enough when I went to career, it was very normal for guys to do this).
Also I suppose the interesting nuance is actually… If you think about modern male aesthetics in Korean beyond… Like if you think about the boy band BTS in Korea, they all wear make up, foundation, bright red lipstick, spend three hours a day on their hair, put on eyeliner, and get plastic surgery in their face and whatever… Traditionally what was reserved for women. But the interesting thing is in Korea, all these guys do all this stuff… But they are still distinctly man and male.
