Being dedicated to one specific aesthetic in every aspect of your life requires a lot of work. And at the same time, such dedication can raise some people’s eyebrows and make a devoted person lose their cool.

In the end, the sibling of a “white and beige” mom got kicked out of her apartment and ordered to apologize to her
Later, the author’s mother let her know that, in her opinion, she should apologize to her sister, even if the comment was unintentional. This prompted the OP to come onr/AmItheAssholeto ask who is wrong in this situation – her, her sister, or maybe no one?

To talk about the internet’s obsession with beige and aesthetics overall,Bored Pandareached out to digital media writer, speaker, researcher, and educatorJamie Cohen.
Jamie described internet aesthetics as “niche culture fashion or platform-specific grammar, meaning that each platform has its own ‘native’ grammar and linguistic traits, but also a ‘look’ that identifies the communities who use each platform.”
A lot of internet aesthetics tend to celebrate mainstream culture, but at the same time, some others do not have their physical counterpart, just some ideas between online and offline worlds. “If you were to participate in some niche aesthetic online (like mermaidcore or cottagecore or sad beige), people offline would have to have some knowledge of internet culture to recognize the aesthetic. It’s more of an ‘if you know you know’ thing.”
Just as Jamie pointed out, the beige aesthetic is one of these described internet trends. According to him, this came to be likely due to the popularity of millennial gray and Pottery Barn neutral aesthetics. “In the way that late millennials and early Gen Z folks are parenting their kids, there’s a push to be more gender neutral, but in many ways, has resulted in the market of the sad beige output.”
And so, because of kids being put into beige, quite often they end up looking older than they should in the marketing material. “One of the weird traits of sad beige is the neutral facial expressions on the children, which I guess makes sense, but I think it’s the idea of giving some high fashion to little babies. Either way, its lack of color and visuals makes for a funny moment in children’s fashion.”
Netizens were divided – some were sure that no one was the jerk, while others were sure that everyone was. We could say that the response was quite beige, or, simply put, nothing special
