More than half a century after the first manifestation of the “sexual revolution” in 1968, vulgarization of culture (unfortunately) no 1 is surprised. To present and even advance pathological attitudes in social life, all media user has become accustomed, as a kind of constant of our time. Meanwhile, the increasingly popular phenomenon among young people brings pop-cultural slime to a full fresh dimension – the essence and centre of public affairs. The eccentric "stars" of show-business over the past decades have displaced the function of patocelebritas – for which utmost controversy is not an addition to a career – and is the only occupation. These fresh anti-authorities are already focusing on the eyes of millions of young... And although many adults wonder about this phenomenon – it can truly look at it – like in a mirror.
"I did my first Botox and I AM OBSESSED today", writes Agata "Fagata" Fąk on Twitter. The board, observed by over 300 000 users, complements regular entries about her private life and betrays its not-so-pretentious character. Ot – users of the portal can learn that she has survived the “nutrition or gastronomy or mood” or, rather, writing in the youth plish-polski, in which she runs the channel – what is the “mood”. There is, of course, a deficiency of content devoted to her sexual preferences, primitive worldviews of the ‘girl power’ or ‘bodypositive’ movement and updates on the fresh plastic operations of the ‘Fagy’. On its YouTube channel, you can see the video, in which it is stylized on Drag Queen – a typical of the eccentric transvestite subculture... sketch on the mentality of today's youth
However, it was not on this regular stream of “Fagata” consciousness that built its recognition. Despite all modernity, Agata Fąk utilized an ancient way to do so – attention is attracted by her own “thanks”. His social networking accounts are regularly supplemented by erotic photographs. However, what is even more heating up young people watching are... "drama" – online conflicts, incidents and disagreements between alleged "impactors". 1 specified event, raised to the rank of a public show, drove the designation of the "star". A friend of “Fagaty”, a public known as “Macha”, made her voice recordings available online, in which a young female shared her life plan. As it turns out, she preferred to usage her relation with individual rich and celebrated to safe her existence alternatively than go to college and then to work professionally. It was expected to be 1 of the unnamed footballers of 1 of the extraclass teams, or another youth influencer – “Stuu”. erstwhile the recordings appeared on the Internet, the interpersonal coverage “Fagaty” became the amusement of the public.

To attract attention, she recorded 2 clips... According to the idea, it was expected to be musical pieces, but their sound qualities seem as if they were never taken seriously. In fact, the materials were meant to be just a background – the real content was the manifestation of vulgarity and the deficiency of inhibitions of the "artist". The full text came down to the mentioned “just off the bridge” of various sexual practices, and the music video to dance from a public house. If it was going to come out scandalous and light the senses... it was alternatively ridiculous and grotesque. The tracks actually scare distant from listening, and the promoted behaviour patterns make the thrill of suffocating on the back.

However, in order to participate in the competition she did not gotta pass the hard road of professional athletes. In Poland, the “freak fight” discipline has developed for good. “High League” or “Fame MMA” organisations organize caged celebrity fights – during their time, well-known people can face in the ringing to solve the ongoing conflict between them, or simply draw attention to each another by covering their faces. athletics suffers on these occasions harshly – the participants of the gala have neither appropriate method preparation nor combat. The show thus embarrasses and comic level simultaneously, and its only value is the clash of known faces. For comparison – let us imagine Wojciech Cejrowski in the ringing with Maciej Sthur and Caesar Claw in front of Bogusław Linda – this is the full idea, but besides the practice of this discipline. Fagata has fought many times.
Fighting in cages of celebrated characters is simply a separate and wide dimension of patocelebritism. The Polish arena, which enjoys quite a few gross and viewership, regularly comes out known from the creator's online activities. The biggest star of pathological galas is besides a individual known for his controversy. It is now... "Lil Masti", portraying herself as an artist and rapper. However, for her career she was led “by panties” – older viewers are better known as “sexmaster”, a female from whom instructional films about sexual practices dared to make a number of junior highs in the country. However, the way from sexmaster to celebrity turned out to be highly simple – now "Lil masti" can boast hip-hop "pieces" of millions of views, and in the pages of his vlog he tells about private life and... pregnancy.

The best proof of this is the career – “Oliwki Brazil”. This 21-year-old girl is besides trying her hand in the music industry... with the same effect as her predecessors. due to their musical “valors” it is hard to get through the recordings – while the main curious one, whose loose lyrics were expected to stimulate the desire of young people, deviates from any feminine attractiveness standards. In fact, if individual is looking for the worst performer for this kind of content, they actually have an Olive served on a platter. It's weird erstwhile a mediocre girl tries to fit in awkwardly with her role...
photo, prtscr/youtube/ Oil BrazilIf individual thinks that akin résumés are inactive a margin, unfortunately the Polish “showbusiness” (for the benefit of its own mind) is powerfully “backward”. Pathocelebrists have not been hosting gossip portals in amusement since yesterday – fundamentally entering the mainstream. It is adequate to say that the already mentioned “Oliwka Brazil” has signed a musical contract with the major Warner Music Group label, and among the press titles that pay attention to the erstwhile “sexmaster” and now “Lil Masti”, include Fact, Plejaj, or RadioZet. She even made it to Good Day TVN. In a word – pathological individuals, which a decade ago even progressive social cream of Warsaw would have considered ridiculous, present they are constituting a fresh "salon". any adults would most likely accept this fact with disbelief... Many would most likely break their hands about what happens to young people, complaining about the quirks and the fall of the "Z generation" in life. Meanwhile, it was the parents of teenagers and young adults increasing up present who created this monster themselves – and in the patocelebritic online sewage they could look, almost like in a mirror.
When the first shock falls after the encounter with the planet of pathological young stars, it becomes clear that it is connected with patterns cherished by erstwhile generations. After all, strange, eccentric characters have been appearing on the front pages of moral magazines for years and on breakfast television... Meanwhile, healthy household relationships, the roles of husband, wife, parent “take” do not have, like the ideals of industriousness, or any another virtue that builds a happy life.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg. The popularity of the patocelebrites builds more crucial cultural trends, well rooted in the crisis of Latin civilization that has been affected for many years. The success of the fresh "stars" is based on the shock and scandal they cause. For decades, a akin kind of expression has been promoted by the agitators of the moral revolution, as the only appropriate tools to deconstruct social norms and principles. The protest through the scandal has actually become synonymous with “art” or “artism”, replacing it entirely in galleries, theatres or scenes. Thus, by rejecting the recognized measurement of decency and good taste, the patocelebrites imitate simply what they saw in their parents, enjoying the rebellion of the children of flowers and the lifestyle of the Kings of Rock’n Agricultural scenes.
Contesting cultural movements have effectively convinced the heirs of Latin civilization since the 1960s that established bans and norms are nothing more than phobic taboos—born from the dark part of human personality and fear of aliens. This process has gone so far that for young people, the presence of any pattern of conduct is simply a adequate provocation to break them. In turn, eccentrics who violate the framework of culture and morality are worshiped as missionaries of progress.
Getting young into an always deeper "channel" – the popularization of drugs, or the alienation of any attraction and elegance of sex, is only a further step of the process initiated by generations of grandparents and parents - due to the fact that in practice the deconstruction of the culture we are dealing with is simply a full project. Left-wing agitators from both cultural and political spheres tell us at all turn that the full of civilization is in fact an oppressive system, requiring rejection and emancipation from its limiting influence. Young patocelebrists are so a close group of “spirits of times” and their way of life marks a sad point of access to which nations are bound to fall.
Still, many youths inactive find the patterns of fresh stars unacceptable and akin embarrassing. For all observer, it is known that under the phase mask and tight makeup, their life is full of frustration and disappointment. This is the best proof that cultural standards are not unnecessary ballast – a prone to evil human nature needs them, as guardians of rationality of their own decisions and attitudes. Rejecting akin foundations against the claims of left-wing ideologists does not lead to either intellectual stableness or satisfaction – on the contrary, it results in hedonist masochism and harm to the wealth of human existence.
All the more so with respect to the phenomenon of patocelebritism, it seems essential to respond to society – in the first place of parents, but besides to power. These tendencies reap their toll and degrade the minds of young people – and in time he can become a patocelebrita for many to become a desired ideal.
