The LA hippy vegan version of Louis these days is so cringey. I know he always had that side to him but living with those people has just brought it to the fore...Honestly I always knew LA douches like that existed but I didn't truely believe it until I saw.his birthday party vlog. When that guy made them all "set an intention " for the day and they took it all super seriously with words like "laughter" "joy" and "smiles" it was unbearable. And then the utter prat made everyone thank the world and spirits and insects and plants and nonsense for producing their vegan food "infused with life and love", and that was hilarious.
Reading this, all I could picture was Louis and Raya in a cult lol. They're totally the type of people who'd unknowingly join one (or be indoctrinated by the lifestyle promised). Something like in the movie 'Wanderlust,' only much less entertaining. Wonder if his Visa covers living in a cult? haha
I don't see anything wrong with hippie types.. in theory. If they're legit and not pushing it onto others or view themselves as superior (which I guess kind of goes against the ideology to begin with but it's common). I consider myself to be relatively spiritual and went through a minor hippie phase myself. I never dressed the part lol, but to me it wasn't about that. Louis and many (not all) of the people he hangs out with seem so fake to me, though. Like they want to be perceived as chill and enlightened, but lack everything inside themselves to actually support that. There's nothing genuine about it. It's about image and "being free" with all the same other types of people doing the exact same. Maybe that's harsh, but it's something that's always bothered me about him and Raya.
Big brands have been commercializing spirituality a lot lately, and to me, these two are a result of that culture.
