Hello, random internet people! My name is Salem Tovar & every other Sunday, I deep dive into the latest pop culture trends/topics and examine them way too seriously to see how they affect us socially & mentally in the silly little real world beyond our screens—encouraging everyone to laugh at life no matter how serious the topic is, but also to provoke the thought that things are far more profound than they appear! Tiktok, pop culture & bbl's- no subject is too surface level for me, I will always find a way to make it deeper than it's supposed to be.

    How Fame & Weight Loss Made This TikToker Turn Against Her Own Audience...In today's video, we will be discussing the Fannita Legget TikTok Drama, where once a body positive and inspirational tiktoker who came from humble roots became everything she once criticized. The downfall of tiktok star Fannita is a curious case. After a bit of fame, money and weight loss, she began lashing out at her audience, calling them ugly and poor, which is hypocritical since she herself in the past said she struggled with her size and financial status. She was harshly criticized when she was a plus size influencer, which has caused her to harbour a lot of anger that she is now unleashing towards her audience now that she is thinner, her point of unfair treatment being a plus size creator is correct, but her approach is very intense. As well as dragging fellow tiktok star Alix Earle when speaking on unequal paywhen it comes to creators of color, which is valid, but Fannitas approach to these talking points are still wrong. I believe we need to do some serious internal work and heal, before we explore the possibilities of changing ourselves outwardly, because we might end up bitter and lashing out at the very people who supported us in the first place.

In todays episode we will be deep diving into the world of millennials vs gen z on tiktok- in the battle of who is aging worse, which is a completely shallow, toxic and body shaming trend that just shouldn't exist. Millennials grew up with body shaming in the 90's, so it's ironic and hypocritical to be doing the same to gen z for looking "older" or even down right comparing themselves to young gen z'ers and labeling themselves as "better looking" and superior...it's just time to stop! It's not a competition. The obsession with beauty standards, youth and staying young by using preventive skincare and botox as early as possible is slowly destroying young people's self esteem, while simultaneously making young people such as 5 year olds sephora kids feel the need to stop aging as fast as possible due to millenials participating in these ageist and body shaming trends that demonize getting older.

We need to talk about the parental discontent surrounding TikTok clips from her concerts going viral, highlighting the societal dissatisfaction with her pivot towards a Gen Z audience rather than catering to young children, which is what society wants from her. This toxic assumption stems from Olivia's Disney background and the unfair stereotype imposed on young women in the music industry, expecting them to remain young and innocent forever. These double standards and toxic expectations are unjust and unfair, as celebrities like Olivia Rodrigo, Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, and Miley Cyrus deserve the freedom to explore their artistry without harsh criticism and unrealistic societal demands. These artists aren't responsible for acting as moral compasses for other people's children, that is the parents responsibility. Stop blaming celebrities for not being the way you want them to be!

The platform has redefined self-care as mean, unempathetic, and toxic, encouraging the hasty termination of friendships over perceived "red flags" that may not even be genuine issues. This trend intensifies the friendship drought and loneliness experienced by Gen Z. The shift towards hustle culture and an obsessive focus on self-care trends is replacing authentic human connections, ultimately hindering the pursuit of true happiness, social connection & friendship.

Blueberry milk nails, cinnamon hair, clean girl, mob wife, pink pilates princess, and the new aesthetics tiktok makes up every two days is toxic and tiring. Overly focusing on self-servitude and the constant pursuit of trendy lifestyles is contributing to an unfulfilled, lonely, identity crisis having generation. Gen Z thinks buying more products and adhering to specific aesthetics will lead to a better life, but it won't. There is an importance of genuine self-improvement beyond surface-level changes, quick fixes offered by trends can not solve deeper issues. Embracing one's uniqueness is essential.

    Stop Taking "Real Life" Advice From Out of Touch Influencers. In todays video, we will be discussing the Jason Nash begging for money on tiktok live fiasco, Emma Chamberlain on her podcast saying she never checks her bank account, Jeffree Star on tiktok live, and just how out of touch privileged influencers can be- and why this is a problem. Social media cant be a job forever, you need a set of skills to fall back on in case it doesn't work out, these real life skills and experiences of which many influencers don't have- which leads them to quit social media and beg for money on tiktok lives. MeganThee Stallion got a college degree, Gabbie Hannah got a normal job at ymca after years of being on social media- because social media doesn't last forever- and we all need to be one step ahead in this life- it's okay to have a 9-5 normal job. Not everyone needs to have a glamorized "social media" job, because that never lasts. Go to http://zocdoc.com/SALEM and download the Zocdoc app for free to find and book a top-rated doctor today.

    Hello, random internet people! My name is Salem Tovar & every other Sunday, I deep dive into the latest pop culture trends/topics and examine them way too seriously to see how they affect us socially & mentally in the silly little real world beyond our screens—encouraging everyone to laugh at life no matter how serious the topic is, but also to provoke the thought that things are far more profound than they appear! Tiktok, pop culture & bbl's- no subject is too surface level for me, I will always find a way to make it deeper than it's supposed to be.
