What does UglyRolemodel mean?
“Im still trying to find the perfect words to describe what UglyRolemodel means to me. But without being all poetic, I think UglyRolemodel means to be an imperfect leader, the person who shows up unapologetically themselves and accidentally inspires people in the process. With the rise of influencers and celebrity culture, theres a certain standard people are expected to live up to. The media basically expects them to be perfect, and people please, in exchange to keep their fan base. Well I say fuck that! A good role model will have flaws, bad days, and low moments just like the rest of us. And those imperfect moments reflect in a persons style, what they say , shit even what they post. Those less than perfect moments create impactful art movements like Punk, Clowncore, even the Renaissance was born at the end of the dark ages. ”
