The VSCO girl is the latest “largely white and largely middle-class” trending teen aesthetic. We’ve already covered who they are and how they became a viral meme, but it’s worth noting that VSCO girls are not the first of their kind to fascinate the media world. Every generation, a group of basic teen girls with deep, parent-padded pockets comes along and becomes stereotype fuel, like the headband-wearing, Starbucks-wielding young women of the early 2000s. And as we’ve seen with the enduring myth that Millennials are splurging on avocado toast, any time a trend signifies wealth, it tends to stick around. (Vox)
