The trad wife trend dominated both the internet and the small screen, with 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives'
Culture critics Jackson Weaver, CT Jones and Samantha Cole explain what these memes say about today’s societyThe trad wife trend dominated both the internet and the small screen, with "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" today to explain their word choices and hash out some of the biggest internet stories from Hawk Tuah to trad wives. They also discuss what societal anxieties unify this year's chaotic trends.
If you pull together the idea of trad wives, the idea of "very demure, very mindful," the idea of mob wife aesthetic. We are working through some gender stuff on the internet. CT, what do all these conversations tell you about the anxieties maybe that are coming out in these trends?There's a reason why we're seeing quiet luxury, old money aesthetic, while we're seeing all of this trad wife content. Because the focus on the internet right now is about money….
There's this creeping disinterest in truth among a lot of people. If you saw disinformation and misinformation in the past and you realized it was fake, you just had this implicit reaction of negativity like, "This is fake and that's wrong implicitly." It's wrong. But now, somebody says, "Wow, this movie made $1 billion." Somebody will be like, "Actually, no, it made like 800,000.
Samantha, what do you think that suggests about the health of our online culture right now? The idea that so much of what we're taking on is this detritus, it doesn't mean anything, it's not going to stick around for very long. And we're not even trying to use it to learn how to move in the world.I think a lot of people say "the internet is forever." That's a phrase that people use, but it's really not at all anymore.
We need people to remember how it was or be able to say, "This is not how it has always been. It's not always been the case that Meta is so strict about sex stuff. It's not always been the case that Twitter was full of neo-Nazis." We're losing a lot of that and that's on purpose because, like Jackson said, we're always moving. It's built to keep your attention. To keep your attention, you have to constantly be refreshing and changing.
