Click here to read the full article.
As the VSCO girl meme gained popularity across high schools earlier this fall, brands, marketers and the media tried to figure out not only how this Generation Z subculture evolved, but also ways to make money from them.
For the uninitiated, the social media meme spotlights teenage girls who don oversize T-shirts, use environmentally friendly metal straws and carry their Hydro Flask-branded bottles in Fjallräven backpacks. They like shopping at Urban Outfitters, and tout their looks on VSCO, the photo app, as well as TikTok and Instagram. But for most images, they use Polaroid- and Fujifilm-branded instant print cameras.
