In this week’s episode, we discuss the evolution of flex culture on social media. We look at how social media came to foster an environment of showing off excessive wealth and privilege through the 2010s, how this all came to a head around the pandemic, and the shifts we see in flex culture as Gen Z takes over from Millennials as the key generation driving online culture. This conversation was inspired by the latest Kardashian drama this weekend when Kylie Jenner posted a photo on Instagram hugging Travis Scott at the airport standing on the tarmac in front of two private jets with the caption, “you wanna take mine or yours?”. The post has received intense backlash from fans flooding her comment section calling her out for posting something so out-of-touch, especially as climate anxiety is at an all-time high.
