Gen Z's Obsession With Luxury Products | The View 

Kids wanting expensive stuff is not new and neither is corporations targeting them.

Sounds like a rich kid problem. Other kids got way bigger problems.

Whoopi is hilarious!! Her reaction to Sunny talking about Old Spice!! 🤣🤣

Sunny, stop. Your kids are privileged. You're not giving them old spice and Vaseline.

I remember putting Love's Baby Soft on my Christmas list😂😂😂

Sounds like they need to be taught about showering and using soap, which prevents the average person from stinking

My son is an athlete, but his sport is swimming! He never stinks 🤣

Like Whoopi knows what they sell at Walmart 🙄

I was only allowed soap and deodorant when I was a kid. Showers 🚿 daily. ✅ Deodorant daily. ✅

Old spice is gonna hate this segment 😅

I love the scent of Old Spice, but it does remind me of my dad. It was his favorite and it did smell very nice on him.

I will be 80 in July and I still love the smell of Old Spice!😊❤

It's the parent's fault! Period. Period. Period.

Vaseline is underrated

Some fragrant produce gives me headache. I would recommend go light on it.

Sunny is wrong. I've known a lot of young girls and older women that stink, from putting on too much perfume, because they're trying to cover up hygiene issues. This isn't a "teenage boy" problem 🤦🥴

But how can they afford these luxury items? Are the parents actually indulging these kids?

Brüt...by Fabergé! 🤣

Old Spices stocks just plummeted 🤣 📉

This has been going on for decades! Since the 90s about wanting name brands! Also it’s the parents that are buying these things. At 12 year old can’t afford all of that!!

Old spice is kinda nice

It's called kids on TikTok. 10 year olds shouldn't even be on that platform.

I'm amazed by the fact that the generation with the least wealth walks around in luxury brands.

Whoopi NEEDS to use some Old Spice

Whoopi, they’re talking about LUXURY fragrances. Also I hope yall didn’t just poop on your Sponsors products 😂😂

Oh, baby girl!!!! That over spraying is real! My nephew-sons literally had breakdowns because I would stop them at two sprays. They would be like, "but, I got past my shoulders!" My response: So! 🤣

Learn to invest your money and splurge less

Funny, my daddy wore Old Spice. My 19 year old wears 'Swagger" and "Live Wire" Hydro wash from Old Spice...he doesn't smell like my daddy.❤

Sunny with the Vaseline, & Old Spice, Love it!! 🤣🤣

Whoopi old spice is probably highest selling deodorant for men. What are you talking about. The scents are not too overbearing and not too dull. They smell good. Smells as a collective have nothing to do with father figures.

Teenagers use cologne in stead of soap & water!!!!

My nephew is a cologne abuser. He carries a bottle of 400 dollar cologne with him and sprays between each class. I don’t know how teachers stand it especially because most of the boys in his 8th grade class do the same

Thanks for putting this out there...the reality of social media❤

Tell the truth Whoopi, I can't breathe in the classroom I teach in. Anyone remember Jean Nate???😅😅

Teach your kids to take a shower, use deodorant, brush teeth. That will definitely make them smell good. Maybe some lotion 😂

This old woman Whoopi needs a reality check

Whoopi, Stormy said Donald had Old Spice in his shaving kit. She admitted looking!

Old Spice is going to sue Whoopi, 🤣🤣🤣

@1:45 "they stink" LOL

I'm a 64 yr old Aussie bloke, and we used to have Blue Staross. Old Spice had nothing on the other stuff.

Hasn't this always been a thing ... I know when I was a kid I wanted expensive stuff. But my mom put her foot down and says NO

Only the best these days

Marketers and influencers working with marketers know how to get you to want and buy. That's their job. I used to work in corporate retail doing fashion shows. I got sucked in. I wanted everything. These companies know how to work you, to make you feel better about yourself when you buy their products. Until I realized that I define me. I don't need labels to define who I am or my worth. Now, when I see people with lots of designer brands, I see someone who really needs to feel valued and acceptance. The people who don't need brands are the secure ones.

Children have been asking for expensive things as long as commerce has been a thing. The difference today is the parents. When I wanted a pair of Calvin Klein jeans back in the 80’s my mother made me a proposal. Extra chores for extra allowance OR I could wait until Christmas or my birthday. AND it was also contingent on my school grades. I don’t really know what is going on in other people’s homes, but when I see a seventeen year old driving $100,000.00 BMW to school I do have to wonder….

LOL 🤣🤣🤣. Got me laughing

The makeup obsession is real..kids always asking what blusher they used

This is such an old lady conversation. But as an old lady, I do agree. Lol😂

Whoopi is so out of touch....lol....what Walmart has $300 cologne? And don't say online....because that's not what Sarah' was referring to....😂

We all grew up with expensive magazines and their relentless advertising ~ parents do your job

The ladies look nice today on the View 👍🏽 😊

$300 perfume in Walmart!? What no you cannot.😂

Old woman yells at cloud

There are adult women who don’t use fragrance properly. Some women wear heavy fragrances intended for evening to their day jobs, and all their coworkers suffer.

now I am going for that Old Spice .. because I'm Daddy !! 👌😁

Um CK One was a luxury item when I was a teenager. You couldn't buy it at Walmart.

A hot shower is helpful. But a little bit of cologne goes a long way. One only needs a little bit.

The prices of niche perfumes are ridiculous. Especially because so many brands reformulated their fragrances and have bad performance. Stop believing these things will make you happier or better. Buy what you really love and don't feel like you constantly miss something.

Aren't 13 year olds Gen Alpha now? I don't think they're considered Gen Z anymore, but maybe they're on the cusp.

It started with AXE BODY SPRAY.

According to my younger sister it's a pretty big and avoidable problem. You have tweens going to makeup stores and buying these skincare products designed for older people with different skin types and tones. But they don't know any better because all they see is this person on TikTok recommending it and they want to mimic it.

Whoopi has been more relaxed and engaged lately....good to see and I like it!

I LOVE Whoopi 😂😂

Omg yes girl. Drakkar was so good back in the day.

Whoopi was HAILARIOUS on this segment.

Wait until they see how worthless the products are in a couple of years.

Old spice smells bad, but there are less expensive alternatives. I think guys need to learn that bathing consistently is a requirement and drinking water so that your body can flush out all the impurities is the problem. We had to be taught that personal hygiene is important including basic bathing. Deodorant can be overwhelming as well finding the right one that won't clash with your body chemistry is a real thing.

Be yourself kids, don't cover up who you really are, especially with expensive krap you don't need! How's that for influence? 😛

There are some affordable fragrances out there, and some influences do promote them that are geared toward younger audiences. And also they teach them how to apply it properly. So thankfully there's that. That being said, fragrances, shoes, and make-up are crazy expensive these days. I saw a pair of New Balance sneakers that I thought were just over 100 bucks. Nope. They're over 200 dollars. Like what-the-deal-yo, lol!

Come on Woopi you cannot find CHANEL or DIOR perfume in Walmart. Stop being sarcastic.

Oh look, another boomer telling genz if they just quit buying coffees and iPhones, they could buy houses and cars and afford healthcare. Give me a break.

Teenage hormone change problem - strong body odour. Especially strong in the armpits.

🤦🏾‍♀️At what point are y’all gonna understand that “influencers” are not rated E for everyone?

Old Spice is not your father's Old Spice anymore.

Axe body spray was heavily used in jr high locker rooms to the point they had to ban sprays

Whoopi, you'd hate how Rihanna sprays on her perfume! We spray liberally round these parts 😂

Baking soda works wonders as a great deodorant - js😃

Years ago parfums from Ralph Lauren or Hugo Boss were expensive for that time. Young people were also targeted but through tv, billboards, radio etc. And I’m talking about ‘90 and ‘00. Weren’t the parents from the seventies and eighties saying the same thing? Isn’t everything terribly expensive if you compare it to ten years ago? The only thing that has changed is the medium.

These kids are shopping at ULTA and Sephora not walmart and CVS

Kids wanting high price, brand name/label materials is not new. Every kid wanted the good stuff to look cool at school well before social media. At least that’s how it was for me going through school (late 90s/early 00s). However as a student studying beauty therapy, I do get concerned about young people spending a lot of money and being influenced by gimmick and/or overpriced skincare because while it’s important to take care of your skin, there is a lot of misleading information/products out there and I worry about what they’ll do to their skin, hair, nails etc because of it.

Sunny said Vaseline and old spice 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I’m glad Whoopie joined the convo this time instead of her usual blah face because she’s hilarious 😂😂

I don’t think it’s just about fragrance. I think it’s more about gen Alpha being targeted for skin care. We have 9 year old kids having a whole skin care routine using expensive products. We just used Noxema and witch hazel.

I hope people aren't forgeting that people did these things back then as well. Its a generational thing that needa to to be well regulated. They shouldnt be allowed to advertise these things to young people giving them a bad message.

Why is this a topic? Do older people not remember the 80's?

I wanted lacoste and CK 40 years ago. This ain't new.

It's the evolution of commercials. It's not incumbent upon the advertisement to explain how to use the product. I hate it, but it's not on them.

I always said to my kids, "If I can smell you before I can see you and, smell you long after you've gone, then you're doing it all wrong."

I'm an older man and still swear by Axe body spray, Phoenix edition. $5.

wtf are you talking about? We can’t even afford to buy a home. -a gen z person

The root issue is parenting.

Whoopi, seems kinda personal with the conversation.

How about the other people around you...public transit etc!!!!

Auntie Whoopi better get them together! 👏🏾

We want luxury cuz we don’t have enough money for it 😂

Smas and grab. Lol.❤

I know Old Spice is mad 😂🤣💀💀 especially because they’ve been tryna rebrand for a younger audience 💀😂 I’m weak

Really? I have a different perspective -- kids want safe products which neither luxury brands nor mass market items like old spice are. I scan everything with Yuca to verify safety of my cosmetics

Same kids that claim they are socialists 😂

I'm sure Sunny bought her kids cars and whatever else was on there Christmas lists

Consumerism is awesome
