You are speaking of personal preference again which is really against everything that is popular today.
Tons of young women are copying Miley's look and buying her music. That is her goal and who she is selling too.
Are you even one of those that collects her discography?
Now why in the hell would I do that? lol
And no shit sherlock. You don't need to educate me on what the popular movements are, and how the various entertainment industries are leading the charge.
Of course I spoke of personal preference. I'm not attracted to what the fashion, music, and/or movie industy tells me to be interested in - I'm interested in what I find attractive.
Do you only find attractive whatever the latest craze is? Do you suddenly stop finding attractive women who represent the previous craze but haven't caught on to the latest bug?
I mean seriously, I'm not understanding what point you are trying to communicate. Who gives a shit what the entertainment industry says?
Obviously young women everywhere are following the Miley's and Beiber's of the world. They've always followed that. It's unnerving when that look includes bone-thin appearances that threatens the health of individuals and future generations (babies of these bone-thin women), but the industry has pushed that (and women have followed) for a decade or two at this point.
(I'm well studied, or at least used to be, on this and similar behavioral and sociological topics)
This whole thread has been about discussing personal preference toward the appearance of legs. The how and why is a well-beaten dead horse in the media circles - but of course, no amount of negative attention to the latest concepts really slows down how much young people try to mimic what they see.
Also, what's popular, as in what is seen most often in media, is not always a strong sample of reality for the better part of civilization. Many will follow, listen, read, and watch everything that has these themes presented, but they don't latch on to the fever and decide to mimic. It's popular in mainstream media, essentially, and probably in SoCal and Florida... but outside of mainstream media, and focusing on daily life in most of the country, it's not exactly a pandemic. So not, it's not "popular" in that sense at all either.
