Does Anyone Really Have Taste Anymore? Microtrends move faster than we can question them. Labubus, polka-dot revívals, balletcore, blokette, tomato girl summers. It’s not that we shouldn’t like them. But most people don’t even know where these aesthetics come from, or why they’re drawn to them beyond the fact that the algorithm said yes. Taste used to be personal. Now it’s predictive. Studies from LC and CIFS show most Gen Z style decisions are made without research, driven by social proof and virality. We’re not curating- just copying— and fashion’s becoming less about what resonates, more about what performs. So what is real taste in 2025? Can we reclaim it? Or is it already gone? #FashionDebate #TasteVsTrend #Labubus #MicrotrendCulture #QuietLuxury #Balletcore #TikTokFashion #DigitalTaste #AlgorithmAesthetic #Magazine #TheCitizensPoste
