This video wasn’t really meant to have a conclusion but to sorta start a conversation about how creators are unfortunately forced to cater to an algorithm. Which then forces people to dress a certain way to preform well. I wanted to make this video to start building an idea to cover it in a larger video later, think of this as the start of a conversation, and I’m happily reading all comments adding to this conversation I’ve opened. thank you all!

JQ complaining about the lack of self-expression in the new age of fashion mfs while also cursing Maximalists to irrelevancy for existing is why I watch him,,, stay biased king!!!
As a person firmly hovering around the personal style section, I’ve noticed that for all the lack of Internet Appreciation there is, I instead get frequent compliments irl. Even if validation is your goal (which tbh you should try and work on self-assurance in that case) it’s not worth trying too much to cater to the algorithm ... I am a girl getting compliments from other girls tho so gender-based mileage may vary
The lack of personal style on the internet is very interesting to me, yet there are still some with very curated style choices that always nice to see. Its all about building outfits for the algorithm now a days.
Ive been all over the place with style (schoolgirl, crust punk, androgynous, trashy....) and I feel like trauma caused me to want look really normal instead of embracing anything remotely personal.
As someone who see clothes as a means to an end its fun to watch fashion people. Makes me inspired to carve my own style. Because of content creators like you I started experimenting wearing what is in now that fits my own personal taste. I am starting to be in to Jordans and oversized Cargoes now and wear it with confidence in my office where everyone wears a more conservative smart casual looks
If I saw a man standing outside of a Kohl's trying to rip open a fruit I would be nosy (from afar) and see if he could do it. The layers in your hair are phenomenal.
treating myself as a build your own character everyday gives dressing much more ease on my mind body and soul which may just be a product of neurodivergence but i digress, cuz yeah i may not have the current financials to purchase margiela or miu miu (just for example) but having the eye and interest in runway fashion allows me to emulate those styles on my body, which in turn stimulates my creativity and mood when hunting for similar silhouettes and styles in thrift stores/ vintage second hand/ online etc. the hunt makes for the final product i showcase more enjoyable for me. i guess i could characterize my style on the relatable end because of it’s ease and accessibility for my everyday, but in a way that is what puts me in the middle because that simplicity is what i’d characterize as my personal style? it is an interesting conversation to be had with how saturated fashion content is now, especially when talking about influencer spaces. love your vids so much you give great nuance and commentary for fashion as it stands in the 21st century, opening the door to question what we’re constantly seeing in these spaces
The fact that people want to copy fits 1to1 seems somewhat odd to me, because I enjoy clothing pieces the most if chances are low that other people own the same thing. (It makes certain pieces just so much more interesting imo) Idk if that would make me a gatekeeper, but when it’s something “vintage” that just isn’t available anymore, then I don’t see how i could be at fault for it 😈.
I understand why people copy, it’s sorta the same thing with fitness, with how you try to follow what looks good right? At some point you’ll find what works for yourself and what you’re happy with.
Bro like you are so RIGHT. im also a person who got into fashion for self improvement. But I cant bring myself to wear cloths that are different. But Im suprised how well you see things.
6:52 I feel that the reason why personal style is so similar to Sisyphus. Like you mentioned earlier, most fashion social media accounts being more of an entertainment kind of thing rather than a form of self expression. That of which makes it hard to find the reason as to why someone will want to gravitate towards a certain style. I feel that for those who are in the line of personal style all have the common attribute of having a reasoning as to why they chose a certain piece or style. And I feel that could be a possible stage of the fashion evolution that could maybe be talked about. To further elaborate, reasonings such as big thighs. I remember in a previous video you mentioned that you have big thighs and if I recall correctly you mainly lean towards wide fitted pants because of it. I personally think it would be more entertaining to talk about why one would choose certain pieces to form a style. But that's just me
I just wanted to say i like rick owens because whenever he walks out during his show, he looks like he is the king/master/wizard and looks better than his models.
My style has always been pretty punk since high school and I've kept up with it ever since while slowly evolving certain elements. But after the 2000s reboots through Tiktok and shows I feel like most are making it look like I'm following the current trend. So it's definitely interesting to see younger generations going through past trends so quickly trying to find what suits them.
Good video but the internet definitely doesnt breed confidence. It breeds insecurity that can be projected through the safety of anonymity and echo chambers.
Well of course insecurity on one aspect but at the other end people are so bold to comment racist and hateful things more than ever to me that’s very bold.
In my experience as a person that enjoys/wears more goth/alternative/punk fashion I have gotten "hate" on the street, like people screaming mean things at me or that I am a weirdo or whatever, even as far as spitting at me lol
@@jorgeo1492 it absolutely does lmao I live in france and I've also had ppl shouting at me and barking at me for how I dress. Just because you don't see it happening firsthand doesn't mean it doesn't happen!
The idea of fashion as a commodity and status symbol has been around for centuries. The intricacy and size of lace in the 18th century, the size and condition of ruffs in the 16/17th centuries, the colors and textiles used in a garment, these all correlated to the wealth of an individual and were status symbols amongst the aristocracy. Of course with the advent of social media, this idea has taken different forms and has waxed and waned in prominence over the years, but the principle has been a common thread throughout the history of fashion.
8:49 the thing is many of the people that are just trying to "look good" are beginners that are taking inspiration from elsewhere and are trying to nail down the basics. The fact is that most people are not seasoned fashion stylists, that have the luxury of experience and skill to make compelling outfits, but in fact are people that are in the process of learning the fundamentals. Once this group of people evolves past this point, they will have the possibility of tinkering and experimenting with self expression, but there will always be a large majority who will be in the learning group. Besides many people's passion does not lie fully in fashion, and understanding the fundamentals of what looks good will be enough for them, and thats ok.
It’s actually not hard at all once you determine what your style is. Stop looking to clothes to tell you what to wear. When you know what you like, it’s like being in love - everything reminds you of that.
What's interesting to me is that (especially so with guy's fashion) the outfits that we call basic get a lot of attention from girls and they fawn over it but online it gets kinda shit on by a lot of people because they think it's a lack of effort when people have a relatively minimalistic style. The more advanced and niche the style is, the more hate it also seems to get, but the praise it gets from a select few probably means more because the ones giving it are in the know. Nonetheless, really liked the vid and the topic. Much love, people.
Something I think is lost in conversations around fashion/personal style in regards to the internet is the third space that sub cultures used to create irl (not just in internet niches). Goth, punk, cholo, etc. were very real and political groups and how they dressed was indicative of participation, but also incidental to the very real communities that were created.
as in the spectrum I feel in the middle especially at work where I dress formally most but also most of items used are clothes and rotated outfits I like to wear that I express myself in and have done research or just experimented into what I find interest in (Yohji, Isse, Japanese styling) but also there will be most days where the clothes can be put into being relatable even though I just wear what I like especially lately cause I have class and I dress light due to the weather while going afterwards to the gym
I’m a woman who’s pretty gender non conforming, and I have become more uncomfortable with showing my body. One of the main issues is because of stares and weird comments I get.
Hey, I love seeing and hearing you. I have similar thoughts on fashion and style as you do. To understand it better, C. G. Jung and his theories on mass consciousness and the processes of individualization inspired me a lot. Mainstream = mass consciousness, but what feels like "me". And how the separation arises - practically throughout life.... Very interesting. You will certainly find a lot about C. G. Jung and his psychoanalytical psychology and you will understand more terms, questions and tools for observing the fashion world among fashion designers and on the street.
Ey whats up, here form México, I'm start this process to change my style and make new improves on myself and not only with my cloths in my room too. So thanks man for make this videos.
@@lucawasserer he stated it’s very curated to a degree. Personal style isn’t a crazy concept that needs to really be defined right? I mean someone who dresses in a curated 70s look can fit in personal style while someone who’s dresses fully in a trendy vintage look fits into being influenced by others. It could be an interesting video if he went into what makes something personal even if it’s vintage vs your obvious black avant snob
Think of it like art! You are the canvas. What kind of energy do you want to create/put out? Where are you going that day and how can your presence contribute to the overall vibe of that space or event? Clothes can make you feel larger than life or they can help you be more incognito. What are your aims and what kind of clothing can help you achieve those goals?
media per se isn't dying, they have been doing the same for ages just looking to produce based on trends it's the same for fashion youtubers when they enter their avantgarde stage and suddenly they know all about CCP Julius or Yohji, it's because even on avantgarde there are trends and people wanna be in the know, or talking about what's interesting for their audience by the way if you gravitate towards a more "relatable" outfit more than to your style, that means you're forcing "your style" to some degree, otherwise you wouldn't care about what others think as you already feel that comfortable on your own skin
I see a lot of talk about personal style, and I ask genuinely what are ways of creating "personal style" that isn't influenced? (Not saying I have a truly personal style or this is the right method, I'm just giving view about where I'm coming from) I personally myself try to learn and gain inspiration using only things I actively participate in or am adjacent to via the people around me. I've been trying to shop more locally (like boutique's that carry local brands, flea markets, ect.) to force myself out of the consumer mindset more and truly see what it is about clothing I like and why I think they're worth being put in my wardrobe. I've been trying to free hand modify/flip some of my pieces because I feel that is the most personal touch I can give. And I've been looking into sourcing vintage magazines/lookbooks/whatever for more socially looked down upon brands/designers because I feel like the artistic merit to be producing some of the garments back then have more pure than the intentions then what's made now a-days.
Unless you become a tailor it's always influenced. I mean. I almost regret the day I stopped just wearing black shirts and blue pants. Still. You buy what's on offer. Get a book about fashion history showing what people wore Back 100, 400 , 3000 years ago. Today you mostly find simple clothes. Even something like fluffy alladin style pants( for men) you'd have to order online. Many cuts are simplistic. Look at button shirt collars. There could be fun shapes meant to go up high neck. Maybe up to your ears shaped like your neck? So much could be.
@@averagemale9401 Nah dude you can't just gobble up everything. What even is the point in the end? I am all for more philosophical fashion content, it's just that most creators just talk out of their asses. All the concepts tend to be fishy and hardly defined. "Personal style" for example, which people usually just use to describe somebody who wears an unusual sillouette or smaller brands lmao. I am not hating the guy at all, I really enjoyed some of his videos, but if you ever dabbled into some sociology or other human studies you would recognize that he really isn't saying anything substancial in this. Stop being a stan, he can handle some critique
i wear 70s stuff in a classic way. kind of hard to describe. i wear suits like tom ford these days but like in a 70s way. am i relatable or personal or am i in the middle? im tryna figure it out lol.
Hey JQ, I love your videos but lately it feels like you reach the same conclusion every time. That fashion is more of a social construct, people wear clothes as a status symbol, and etc... While I think these are valid point, it's getting a bit repetitive. Maybe trying to do some kind of study or social experiment to hammer in these points (with friends or strangers or fans) would be more interesting and facilitate more growth for your channel. Your leather care, fragrance, and haircare type videos were great IMO cause they offered some genuine educational content and you only made 1 of each. Stuff like pick up videos, vlogs, and short opinion rants are also fun mindless content cuz their content changes each time. Overall, I love ur videos cuz ure honest and critical ab the industry and urself, but also a bit of a change of pace would be cool. That's just my take, thx if u read it.
when it comes down to anything involving the internet it’s sort of the same conclusion. I also don’t think doing pick up videos is good for him to do since he’s sort of anti consumption and it would be hypocritical if he’s pushing the narrative of influencing people to buy things
none of this is relatable to me, but I am a slight outlier. I prefer comfort over all else so most of my wardrobe is just cheap T-shirts and shorts with absolutely no designer. the only eye catching thing I wear is my 3 point bag I made. other than that, it's all walmart T-shirts and shorts babyyyyyy.

i wear 70s stuff in a classic way. kind of hard to describe. i wear suits like tom ford these days but like in a 70s way. am i relatable or personal or am i in the middle? im tryna figure it out lol.
I think there’s a difference between a trendy 70s look to a more personalized 70s look if you see what I mean
@@fashionelitist hey man you are the best. i completely agree. love your videos it feels like it gives me perspective on the fashion landscape.
Domineering side eye
Hey JQ, I love your videos but lately it feels like you reach the same conclusion every time. That fashion is more of a social construct, people wear clothes as a status symbol, and etc... While I think these are valid point, it's getting a bit repetitive. Maybe trying to do some kind of study or social experiment to hammer in these points (with friends or strangers or fans) would be more interesting and facilitate more growth for your channel. Your leather care, fragrance, and haircare type videos were great IMO cause they offered some genuine educational content and you only made 1 of each. Stuff like pick up videos, vlogs, and short opinion rants are also fun mindless content cuz their content changes each time. Overall, I love ur videos cuz ure honest and critical ab the industry and urself, but also a bit of a change of pace would be cool. That's just my take, thx if u read it.
when it comes down to anything involving the internet it’s sort of the same conclusion. I also don’t think doing pick up videos is good for him to do since he’s sort of anti consumption and it would be hypocritical if he’s pushing the narrative of influencing people to buy things
Nah on 2:25. That is peacocking for a different audience, and often times those ppl are more insufferable
soon 100k see you there
Pretty sure this is the son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono
none of this is relatable to me, but I am a slight outlier. I prefer comfort over all else so most of my wardrobe is just cheap T-shirts and shorts with absolutely no designer. the only eye catching thing I wear is my 3 point bag I made. other than that, it's all walmart T-shirts and shorts babyyyyyy.
Love your homie's John A. Skelton shirt!
I just try to wear something that Jason Bourne would wear.
This video turned into Tyler Durden quickly
