MERRY CHRISTMAS POOKIES

I'm very much trying not to look at my youth (which is barely over) with rose-coloured glasses but... I think it is somewhat upsetting how the aesthetics that were homegrown tumblr aesthetics (2014 indie kid, cottagecore, dark academia, art hoe) are being mined by companies and broadcasted/disseminated on tik tok. There was most certainly rampant materialism on here (the kankens, the american apparel) but when I was in my young teens and wanted to be an art hoe there was no real market for that kind of clothing. So I hauled ass to the thrift store and for like under $25 I was able to dress like an art hoe (and what I guess in now called goblin core). And when I got into Dark Academia back in 2018, there was NO explaining what that was to anyone at the mall. There were literally only tumblr moodboards. So once again I hauled ass to the thrift store and bought black turtlenecks and plaid pants. And nowadays it's so weird to get advertisements from institutions doing historical analysis on dark academia, to see that taylor swift is selling cottagecore-inspired overpriced merch, that ALL the shit we did in the mid 2010's is being mined by companies in a way that. any kid that wants to emulate these looks is going to be sold really shitty shein fast fashion. It feels like we have nothing

- cherry wine is about domestic abuse. it’s now called a cute proposal song.

- too sweet is about seizing the day and ignoring healthy habits in favor of having more fun with unhealthy ones. he’s actively critical of himself in the song. it’s now called a song about thinking you’re superior for drinking black coffee.

- take me to church is about worship as a metaphor for sex. it’s called a religious song.

- eat your young is a song about war and political greed. it’s called a song about sex.

- now, the strongly political message of nobody’s soldier is being ignored in favor of calling it a metaphor for hozier’s relationship with his fans.

when are we going to stop simplifying hozier’s music down to cute little cottagecore bogman forest music? maybe you dont want to hear this but i don’t care. quit listening to hozier for the aesthetic. there’s a reason why empire now, foreigner’s god, butchered tongue, etc. songs with unignorable political messages are among his least popular songs.
