Bruh, I remember a few years ago (before covid) in my deep blue city public school, kids would make fun of you if your wear shoes that aren’t nikes, especially like no name brand shoes or even sketchers.
Like wtf. Its highschool, so immature…
Some kids even got “designer” shoes or whatever for $500-$1000, like… the fuck?!?
I remember in the late 80s and early 90s multiple kids were killed in the US over their shoes. Usually by people they knew.
When the designer luxury worship culture gets so bad that kids are killing each other over attaining it… something major has to change.
Solution is to raise minimum wage, increase social support, and raise the poorest up out of poverty. These killings are incredibly rare in the rest of the developed world.
But thanks mostly to conservatives we know that this hasn’t happened in the US, and kids who live in borderline poverty are still killing people for their designer sneakers. The only thing that’s changed in 30 years is the brands.
I didn’t know those were the words until like last year when the song came up in topic and people were talking about how it was such a wild song and I had no idea what was happening
