@internet.anthropology: Trend Forecasters became the new tastemakers online - the new arbiters of cool #culturaltheory #internetanthropology #trendforecaster #trends #fashiontrends #trendforecasting #anthropologytiktok #anthropologymajor
And so many of them “predicted” things that were already happening. It wasn’t even pattern recognition. It was “I’ve seen a lot of people talking about this, so if you want to be ahead of things, do this too” 🙄🙄🙄

i don’t think it’s fair to add mandy /oldloserinbrooklyn to this at all- her credentials are insane & she’s worked as an actual trend forecaster throughout her career. putting her here feels as if you’re classifying her as someone that just took it up as a hobby / doesn’t know what they’re doing

There was also so much panic around how the “20 year fashion cycle” was moving “too fast” like it was going to collapse on itself or something😭😭😭

As someone who does this work for a living it was wild to see. But so obviously fuelled by the pandemic making young people feel in control of in an unstable world.

Don’t include @Mandy Lee in this. She literally had a job in analytics and has accurately “predicted” numerous tangible trends in fashion based on data she analyzed before anyone else, not “vibes”.
