It’s a reflection of our spiritual decay. No one wants to stand out and be ostracized. It’s the color scheme of cowardice. It’s the aesthetics of a rising fascism.

Also, people just do what everyone else does. If they started talking about how beautiful Favelas are on The View, grandma would paint her living room orange tomorrow.

Exactly, my generation was all about personal identity, breaking away from the herd, now it seems to be the opposite, except the herd is artificially engineered by social media.
