Sometimes we tend to lose a little perspective while getting caught up in our routines, problems, thoughts, and anxieties. However, living in that bubble of ours can make us lose touch with what life is like for people outside of it. And wealthier folks, or those who at least try to fake a bougie lifestyle, tend to be the most guilty of that.

Luckily, the Instagram account “The Fake Rothko” exists to expose people who get so caught up in their privilege that their actions become tone-deaf. Scroll down to find the best this account has to offer and don’t forget to leave your thoughts below.

While you’re at it, make sure to check out a conversation with Jocelyn Brewer, psychologist and founder of Digital Nutrition, and Joanne Broder, PhD, media psychologist, and author, who kindly agreed to tell us how social media contributes to people becoming out of touch.

    It’s not necessarily wealth. I live in a very rural homestead on a very Big Island in the middle of a very big ocean. Only a handful of my neighbors got Covid and when they did it was the big gossip around town. Now with all the vaccines & boosters, those of us who’ve never had it are sitting ducks for the next variation.

    The artwork at center top is a famous "spots painting" by Damien Hirst. They are valued from $3M up to $10M for a large size canvas one (there are over 1400 in all size, style and techniques), and are constantly appreciating. The image on the top left is one of Jeff Koons's "Balloon Dogs", and by comparison is cheap, at $10-$50k for that size (it also doesn't hold value as well).

    Meanwhile, a homeless person applying for a job is like "umm, yeah, like, I want to be an influencer but don't have any influence. So, if you could just give me an expensive lifestyle for 30 years so I can become self made. It's like your job"

    "I was just in Europe for two weeks, it's so different from the states. First of all, Europeans use NATURAL ingredients so pasta over there is actually good for you. You know, in America, they live to work, but in Europe, they work to live. Have you ever heard of the term 'siesta'? Europeans also don't get drunk like Americans do, they just sip on a glass of cabernet while melancholically gazing over the seine. Yes I'm from Ohio why do you ask?"

    Tbh I see no problem here. Well, except of the mess but it won't kill her. If she prefers to spend her salary on traveling than on moving to a nicer place, and if she likes to share her photos on IG, that's her choice. We're living in troubling times, use your money for whatever makes you happy, nkt for what's "right".

    But....this applies to pretty much all pictures. Your food, your kids, that one "AWESOME!" cocktail party you went to and got a "lil tipsy" or the countless up close pictures of your face, all taken from the same side. In fact, unless someone asks to see your pictures....they don't wanna see your pictures.

    "Oh. I see. You think this has nothing to do you with you. The only reason an influencer is CALLED an influencer is because of the people like you, at the bottom. With all of these memes and "ironicly looking at her profile", you in fact contribute to this culture that you shame so much."

    Omg, Le Labo. Someone gave me a sample of The Matcha 26 and... I never had any perfume that comes even close to it. Too bad it's so expensive I can only own a 50 ml bottle in my sweetest dreams (maybe not that expensive by American standards, but prohibitive for a small European country)
