i do agree that it is annoying how something like reading in public is now classified as performative

was never the case until tiktok era came about

it is also a habit of mine to bring my kobo or book along when i'm not driving, and i've also received similar comments (jokingly) from friends too

what other examples are there of hobbies/habits going from normal -> performative in the recent years?

i believe matcha is one
