This generation of tweens literally have nothing of their own anymore (and what little they did have has now also been “occupied” by adult women) so now they emulate the 20+ year old influencers they follow.

Yeah things like justice, Claire’s, etc are gone now. A lot of tween shows don’t exist anymore. They now wanna act like college girls they see on tiktok now. It’s not “cool now” to look 13 at 13 yrs old. I went to the mall last week and they had bags full of Sephora and Aritzia like huh

might i also add, big corporations have stopped catering to kids AT ALL, leading to most kids’ clothing and accessory places going out of business or retracting business. it’s going to have crazy long term effects

They are literally erasing young girls from their marketing so they can prey on them early on. We used to have Justice where we could find everything of our dreams including makeup. Doll companies have also shifted their marketing to adult collectors rather than who it’s supposed to be, young girls. There’s also the fact that this generation of tweens doesn’t even have music marketed towards them (all of the Disney girls) Like, why is a 12 year old participating in Brat Summer??????

Yeah but those are younger children, but there’s nothing being catered to that preteen demographic anymore. Like that age group where you’re old enough to be dropped off at the mall with your friends.

exactly. kids/tweens don’t have third spaces anymore, and they’ve been pushed out of things/interests that should’ve been marketed towards them. they also have very little media made for them now, compared to even just 10 years ago

Even things like Bratz, Barbie’s, Hello Kitty, etc. have slowly become more for adults to enjoy rather than young kids. Also wdym your mall won’t let anyone younger than 21 alone in??? 😭
