Like her different focuses, this case overlooks the monetary and social substances of American culture today. Huge box stores don't compel Americans to purchase more. By offering lower costs in an advantageous setting, on the other hand, they permit shoppers to spare time and buy products they won't not have the capacity to bear the cost of from little organizations. The presence of all the more little organizations would not change what most Americans can bear, nor would it diminish their longing to purchase moderate stock.

It is important to note that Clifton is informal in this article because he wants to explain to his audience, which are people who want to understand adolescents why they want Supreme’s goods. In a part of this article, he is criticizing people for their decisions when he says “But that's fine..even if it's just a pair of boxer shorts”. It makes the audience feel as if he is talking directly to them as if they are having a conversation where he is explaining them the reasoning behind these millennia’s choices. Clifton makes a great point at the end of the article when he says that they are riding on their “authenticity” and if Supreme keeps opening new stores, they will lose all of their credibility. He shows his readers that everything that makes it unique will soon disappear, so he inquires why they would want to buy it later

Many people, especially teens, tend to be unappreciative of what they have and choose to only think about themselves. One does not think about others but only about what they have and how they look, even if they are very fortunate for what they do have.
