      The gaze-conferring-existence thing is the history of “it girls” “discovering” things: “I discovered this little diner in the east village,” “I discovered this designer in morocco” “I discovered matcha” “I discovered veganism” “I discovered Pilates” — a commercialized solipsism

      Of course like all celebrity it’s inextricably linked to whiteness, power, wealth — even if only proximity thereto or approximations thereof. It’s a coolness that claims to create culture, though all it does is consume, digest, and excrete it.

      I don’t think it’s possible to have culture without this. In many ways it’s essential to the ecosystem. Highly scrutinized public consumption could arguably be considered a form of cultural criticism.

      And on the consumer side it has value! Attaching yourself to other ppl’s taste is training wheels for figuring out your own, and a useful time-saver in those arenas you don’t or can’t invest the time in mastering. Its ok to let someone who really cares abt music have the aux cord

      But the important thing is the brittleness. When you don’t build in fallibility from the beginning, when you believe that YOU are the brand, when you aren’t able to consider your own gaze and what it does or doesn’t take in — you become unable to change, apologize, or admit error

      If what you sell is your unerring ability to be right, it all falls apart the minute you say you were wrong

      Ok fine dudes obviously this thread is inspired by Alison but it’s not just about her and it’s not a subtweet. The cool girl thing is a universal phenomenon and an endless cultural cycle and Alison isn’t the first and she sure as hell won’t be the last.

      I think “it girl” is more apt than “cool girl.” When you said “cool girl,” I thought you meant this:https://jezebel.com/the-cool-girl-is-not-fiction-but-a-phase-1642985632 …
