Around me I mostly see Mexican dudes but these things as collectibles and resale. I don’t think many people actually wear these, they are put on the bookshelf like overpriced FunkoPops.
You're right. People still seem to have extra discretionary money but instead of buying gold and silver bullion like me they are getting obsessed over collectible items. It's the trap of consumerism.
I got a text from an old coworker i hadn't talked to in a year or two and i asked him how he's doing and he says he's just working all the time and works gig jobs in evenings and he boiled it all down by just saying he's tired. "I'm tired man." and i could sense the exhaustion in his voice even though it was just a text message.
I don't get it. I have my movie and music collections and that makes sense to me. But to collect fucking *cups*, or *shoes*?
