F.orse it all started with the pandemic. Locked in the house, without being able to go out, working in Zoom. That is to say, stay in pajamas, without having the desire to get dressed, to wash, to put on make-up.
Said like this it could also represent a positive experience.
Goblin mode, the right to suck
But in this case thethe trend has gone further arriving at the phenomenon ofvoluntary brutalization.
By ceasing to deal with details: such as personal cleaning or clothing, spending hours in pajamas that wash alone. But not even interested in food e indulging in junk food to the end.
Butabove all, living around the one tool essential to existence: the smartphone and the laptop.
In front of the fridge, at night, to eat strange things. Goblin mode is also this, but without any sense of guilt
Clear the voluntary letting go
And doing all this without shame. Quite the contrary, sight the potential trend which is taking hold and which has even given birth to an expression that has gone viral: “Goblin mode”.
Which basically means customs clearance of voluntary letting gowithout saying it openly, but wrapping it with a more trendy aura, almost of social demand: “I have every right to suck“.
Goblin mode is a state of mind
“Goblin mode is not a permanent identity, but a state of mind.” One of the clearest definitions of what it means is that, as the The Guardian, he gave Dave McNameea “real life goblin mode” on his Twitter account, post gone viral.
“It’s like when you wake up at 2 am and in the dark, barefoot, you go to the kitchen wearing nothing but a long shirt to have a weird snack. In short, it is a complete lack of aesthetics“.
