The Boujee Struggle in a Basic City

The Boujee Struggle in a Basic City

We break down Midwest fashion culture, why trends hit late in St. Louis, and how dressing well makes you a target in a basic city.

Show notes

Why does dressing well feel like a crime in the Midwest? In this episode of Feast or Famine w/ The Youngs, we unpack what itโ€™s like to embrace fashion, design, and modern trends in a place where style is often stuck 18 months behind.

From being called a douchebag on a night out to navigating the passive-aggressive culture of St. Louis, we dive into why trendsetters get side-eyed, how the Midwest treats "boujee energy" like a threat, and what it really means to stand out in a basic city.

Whether you're a creative, entrepreneur, or just someone tired of blending in โ€” this episode is for you.

We talk about:

Why trends hit the Midwest way too late How dressing well makes you a target in certain cities The insecurity behind unsolicited insults What it means to stay true to your identity in a place that resists change ๐Ÿ‘‰ Listen in and stay boujee anyway.
