I feel like cringing at yourself is something that is continuous if you're consistently evolving. Hell, I cringe at outfits I posted just a few weeks ago. Great video man.
Really love how self-conscious you are and how you are able to rationalize things that are difficult to think for many people! I even might participe for the homework this time 😌
I admire you that you can criticize your own growth PS. I really enjoy watching your old video and see how far you've become. keep going man your style is attractive and enjoyable.
I love your attitude towards the content you’ve made in the past. I share your understanding that creating art, content, and expressing oneself creatively overall, is a process and it does take practice. I too have content I don’t think I want to delete (even though I kind of dread some if it) because I want the future me and my audience to see how much I’ve progressed from my earlier work. So they can see it was a growth process. I want future fans to recognize how before becoming truly great I had to learn alot through taking action. Those who are brave enough to start expressing themselves creatively oftentimes don’t make excellent stuff right from the get go. I’m glad I could hear another person reflect my own thoughts about myself. Thank you.
that has always been my philosophy in a lot of ways. i know in the future I will likely cringe at this video too but if I want to encourage other people to be creative I have to be transparent about the process of growth.
Magnus did say that he got depressed so yeah there's that but your point is completely right and it gives a grim observation of what happens when you start to make too many self-deprecating jokes. This is a great video on moving past that phase
Yeah and like I mentioned to Day I don't mean this as a criticism of Magnus, and I truly recognize the depression but I think if being critical of himself plays a role in that, theres certainly a better way to handle this type of personal growth
hope it wasn't too over the top! It was really thinking about archiving pics on my instagram when I came up with this idea and I didn't want to give off the vibe that I was "hiding"
Love the concept behind this video! I think a lot of people, myself included, don't really know that many people with great senses of fashion today started out with some pretty terrible fits, and then set these unrealistic expectations on themselves. Will def be sending you my cringy first fit pic
I love this video! I really enjoy hearing your thoughts on the topic of refining personal aesthetic. Like how you touched on, we all have cringe. I hate looking at my old fits and vids. One of the first fashion RU-vid channels I got into was Luca Fersko. He ended up deleting pretty much all content. He said in an interview with Grailed “he thought it was all cringe” (I’m paraphrasing). But even though he thought it was cringe, it heavily influenced me to get into fashion/clothes. I’m glad you are keeping up the old videos. It shows growth and a willingness to accept flaws (your early vids are honestly not bad). If everyone deleted things they don’t like, I don’t think it would inspire people to try new things.
Totally agree Corbin I appreciate the detailed comment, for a lot of fashion youtubers whether its Luca Fersko or Avery Ginsberg, their early content inspired people and got them to subscribe to the channel, and even though their views and quality changed (probably with the audience as well) I think a lot of people would still love to see the old content and could help them understand the journey. Jacob Keller is a good example of someone whose style has changed dramatically but he has kept his old content up.
I’ve been subscribed to you since your Suicoke video, I’ve always appreciated the information and the way you presented yourself in your videos. Your content continues to get stronger and stronger.
What a great video! Also, in Finland it is actually pronounced "ha-leks-" closely resembling what is said in 11:29 , so at least in Finland it is not cringe, heh.
I posted something about gaming one day. Mind you, i was even thinking of the caption to not make it cringe as much as possible. Now i feel like im a poser and a cringe. I deleted that post after a few minutes of posting. I cant handle the cringe but at the same time, i cant stop posting
8:28 I would love to see a video of you giving your suggestions on how to apply a person's interests (Art for example) in real life and incorporating that in your style/lifestyle
On the pronunciation, and as a french-american it really doesn't matter. Like, there are so many brands I'm not going to pronounce the 'correct' way because people are going to look at me like I'm an asshole lmao. Louis Vuitton is a good example of this, I'll say it like "loo-e viton" instead of "loo-e v-wee-ton" (last 'on' like 'bon' in french). I just try to default to Amercian-english phonetic pronunciation of brands, but then I get cringe situations where someome tells me something like "omg, don't you know vetements is french? that's not how you say it" 😑... and because of that I have to make some exceptions. I guess another way to put it is I try to pronounce things in a way that distances me from the people I'm talking to the least.
I really agree with this sentiment, there are french brands that I do pronounce (mostly) the correct french way like givenchy but with Saint Laurent or LV I stick with an English phonetic pronunciation. I know some people think its like an immediate turn off like an indication that you dont know what you're talking about but I think it's kind of silly to put so much weight on pronunciation
Im a year late to your video, it's the 1st time im watching one of you're videos and I'm not sure if you're still going but if you are you have my Sub and utmost respect. Im glad im not the only one with cring videos on youtube. I posted a super cringe and unprofessional video about 4 years ago about a stupid little fish tank... Yes, a fish tank... the worst part is i used my first AND last name and forgot my login information. Now anyone that Googles me sees the video. I've grown a lot from the simple minded boy I was back then and do not want to be associated with that video. I've even been considering changing my name incase it were to go viral. Even going as fare as to dislike and report the videos. I don't want it to change the way people see me now. Although when I'm older I'm sure it won't bother me seeing as it will then just be another stupid thing I've done when I was younger and could then just laugh it off. But it's still relatively fresh and I wanna kick myself every time I think about it. Regardless, I'm glad not to be the only one and admire you're courage to talk about your personal experience on this topic. Thank you for making this video and I hope your channel continues to grow.🙇♂️
