This is especially true with luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Prada. People are either trying to impress others with fakes, or they’ve actually paid full price to become walking billboards.

Similar thing with iPhone cases that have a cutout for the Apple logo. That’s just hilarious.

    Have you seen music lyrics? They’re full of advertisements.

    People pride themselves to be walking billboards. I think it somewhat resembles wearing the coat of arms of your lord in the millennia before.

      You’re probably talking about pop/rap? Because I’m pretty sure that there isn’t a single song in my music library that mentions products/brands.

        I thought that about my music collection. Apart from one of the tracks on ‘Selling England By The Pound’ I don’t think I have either ;-)

        The band - Genesis. The track - ‘Aisle of Plenty’. The year - 1973

        This is quite an individualist mindset; I was mainly talking about YT Trends-type of music - music likely listened to by millions, shaping the minds of millions.
