[theqoo] THE PERFORMATIVE MALE TREND OVERSEAS

"Wired earphones" "Eco bag" "matcha"

"The trendy performative male overseas"

Performative male styling tip #1
A matcha in one hand and wired earphones are a must!
Don’t actually plug the earphones into your phone
subtly sharing what you’re listening to is a small but clever touch.

Performative male styling tip #2

Hang an old film camera around your neck and carry an emotionally resonant book.

Aesthetic inspiration 1: Harry Styles

Aesthetic inspiration 2: Troye Sivan

1. At least have some *real* aesthetic, what is this?

2. At least put in some effort. Where's the effort?

3. They look like a mess

4. If it's performative, you need to perform something...

5. But the post mentions people like Harry Styles and Troye Sivan, but they're not that performative to start with. Are we saying men are copying those two's fashion?

6. This started off with carrying a feminist book, but they changed it ㅋ

Korea is so funny ㅋㅋ A country that treats feminism as a curse ㅋㅋ

They really want to get rid of it even by distorting the original trend ㅋㅋ We're no different from those history-distorting idiotsㅋㅋㅋ

7. It's not just about reading books about "Human Beings", but reading Michelle Obama's or feminism books ㅋㅋㅋ (t/n: the original meme showed a feminist book, but the picture above changed it to a cover of a book called "Human Being")

8. So wired earphones are really a thing now? ㅋㅋㅋ

9. Why do we need to be so invested into other countries? This is getting tiring

10. They changed the picture of the book? Seriously those f*cking Hannams
