Teenagers’ Expensive Tastes: Gen Z’s Obsession With Luxury Products.nhy

Welcome back, folks. It seems teenagers these days are losing their minds, according to a recent report by “The New York Times.” The trend? Boys saturating themselves in pricey cologne, while teen girls indulge in expensive skincare products, all thanks to influencers pushing these products online.

Now, unless you’re teaching people how to properly apply cologne, perhaps you shouldn’t be pushing it at all. And unless you include a tutorial on how to use these products, it seems a bit disingenuous to profit off representing brands you may or may not even wear.

We’re stuck now with 13-year-olds who don’t understand the delicate art of applying cologne, and then they want to hug you, leaving the scent all up in your hair. Can’t anyone influence them on the subtleties of scent application?

Remember the good old days of CK1 in your car? What happened to those simple times? And why are these products so expensive?

Teenage boys are notorious for being a little smelly, especially athletes, but even non-athletes can have their moments. It seems they’re turning to expensive colognes instead of good old-fashioned deodorant. If you’re going to teach people how to use it, why not also teach them how to get a job to pay for it? These products don’t come cheap.

It would make sense if they were talking to people who could actually afford these products, but they’re targeting kids who don’t have jobs. So, it falls on the parents to foot the bill for these pricey items, which can be a lot of pressure for families already struggling to make ends meet.

But let’s not forget, Old Spice has its own charm. It carries a certain paternal scent that evokes memories of laying down with Dad. So, if you want that feeling, go for it. Otherwise, maybe stick to something a bit more budget-friendly.

In conclusion, the pressure on teenagers to buy expensive products marketed by influencers is real. Let’s hope they learn the value of a dollar and the art of subtlety when it comes to scent. And parents, brace yourselves for the expensive tastes of today’s youth.
