What We Can Learn From Melanie Martinez's Childhood Aesthetic
There's a prevailing theme in internet culture, one obsessed with everything teen. Sometimes it feels like an over-correction of the constant bashing of teen culture by older folks (adolescence isn't the most glamorous age by any means). It's strange when considering the power teens have on the 'net: They love it the most; they own the thing. If internet addiction is starting to plague older folk, we learned it from the best.
Another theory is seated deep within nostalgia. A fascination with the '80s and '90s runs rampant on our television screens and in our modern fashion...in most circles of pop culture. Here, nostalgia is a romanticism for earlier days, easier days: Our youth.
