Why do brands matter so much to a considerable number of people? And I am not referring to the knowledge about popular brands and of course not the preference of one brand over the other. I am referring to expensive brands and the lengths some people go to in order to attain the status of an up-to-date and rich person.
I mean, there are certain people who only owns certain brands solely because of the brands' extremely reputable name. I just cannot imagine being so obsessed about wanting to be looked in a certain way. A specific way. Like, do some people really get satisfaction out of being recognized as the 'girl who wear Brand YY shoes' or 'the boy who wears this extremely trendy jacket from Brand ZZ'? Labels. Being labelled is not a good thing because you would only be viewed as one thing and not beyond that.
But then again, if chasing after these brands is what constitutes happiness for people, then it is their happiness. Because different people have different definitions of happiness. One of the ways I feel happy is from completing a book or being productive for the day.
I guess I have what people call...a simple mind. I may not remember certain brands by heart but I have certain taste on accessories or objects and would have a preference of a specific brand solely because of its convenience and compatbility. I do not read fashion magazines from cover to cover, memorize the latest fashion trends...No I do not do all of that. Sometimes, I feel that I am pretty unlike any average teenager who knows how to doll himself or herself or dress to the current times. To me, I just feel dolling up and over-accessorize do not do much difference to me. I just have no...thing for such things.
Am I weird for that?
Haha maybe.
