The "Old Money" Aesthetic

The social media "old money" aesthetic is so ridiculously new money it's hilarious to me. Actual old money aesthetic is being full Goblin mode all the time while living in basically a palace. You wear great grandma's Hermes scarf as a bandana while you weed the garden because old money's least favorite activity is having to actually shop for anything. A real old money look are like a stained, misshapen cashmere sweater and dirt caked gum boots. The old money car is like a reliable, four wheel drive hatchback that is absolutely caked in mud and dog hair. Old money aesthetic is letting your 10 giant hounds chew the leg off a priceless antique writing desk and not bothering to have it repaired until you need to write something because you literally have never given a shit. Old money aesthetic is having no fear of death because you've literally never thought about it. You will go fistfight a gorilla because you are bored. You have never had to worry about anything ever or consider what anyone thought of you and so you're just... fully doing whatever. You are busy breeding a new species of begonia and are profoundly inbred but in a weirdly strapping hearty way.

I'm from that world peripherally and like... people don't understand that never having to consider what anyone else thought about you or about anything really profoundly psychologically affects you in weird ways.

One story that illustrates this is my ex-husband's family was friends with a very old Earl, and the new money section of the family was showing off their daughter to the town worthies, and she was at law school and the Earl was there reading a newspaper, and someone asked the girl "Do you have a boyfriend at university?" and she was like "Oh goodness no!" and the Earl puts down his paper and says "Well, I did, he ran off with the butler, his wife was furious, of course it could never have worked between them being from different classes and all" and that's what old money's like. Incidentally that was a man in his 80s, and this was like ten years ago so... you can imagine when that was

My brother just came back from his school hiking trip with an axe that he made out of a real deer scapula and a stick he found??? What the actual fuck. There's still cartilage hanging on to the joint

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!
