- Will you stop claiming every single scrunchy?
- Just don't claim this one, I claim this one.
- Oh my god, no ones being fair.
- I claim this. This mine
I want these glasses.
- (Laughing)
(upbeat violin music)
- [Mike] What are we doing today?
- I don't know.
- Yeah, what?
- Okay, I know what we're doing today.
Today we are going to try being VSCO girls.
- There's a lot of people who have already made VSCO videos.
Like Bailey Dedrick, maiphammy, Caiti's Corner.
We know that it's an aesthetic that a lot of people
are interested in trying out and seeing how it looks.
I am very curious whether people are going
to find it believable on us.
- Because we're old (laughs)
- We're not kids any more you know?
Like, I pay taxes on time.
- So I had no idea what a VSCO girl was
until, like, three days ago.
- Really? - No.
- I also didn't know what it was.
- So a VSCO girl is like a general aesthetic.
Do you remember when you were in high school
and you were just easy breezy beautiful?
- No.
- I don't pay rent.
- No.
- Okay, well neither do I.
But there were some people who lived like that.
- What is the significance of the name VSCO?
- I know this. I like, was surrounded by camera kids.
It's a photo editing app - [Blond Woman] Okay.
- It's meant for higher quality photos
is generally the vibe I get from seeing people post.
And sometimes people will take those photos,
obviously they will take them to Instagram
and you can just see the hashtag VSCO.
- So what are some characteristics of a VSCO girl?
- [Long Haired Woman] Jean shorts, oversized shirts,
scrunchy, Hydro Flask.
- You'll wear things that are not super glamorous looking
but also. - pretty expensive.
- Pretty expensive.
- To be a proper VSCO girl, can you get any
of these things off-brand?
- I think you can.
- Get it all off-brand.
Why not?
- Yeah.
- You can be a VSCO girl with the non-Hydro Flask
that kind of looks like a Hydro Flask.
- Just get a blydro blask.
Fjallraven makes bags and outer-wear
but their backpacks are really popular with teens
and also my 32 year old spouse.
- Oh drag them.
- (laughs)
I think Fjallraven backpacks are really annoying.
- Well they're originally for elementary school kids,
like kindergartners.
- My partner owns three.
Apparently an also very common brand worn is Brandy Melville
which is a brand known for being one size fits all
but actually it's a four.
- [Mike] So not for everyone.
- (laughs) I mean, it's also like
a very upper-middle class aesthetic.
And also it's a very white, thin aesthetic too.
It's "I'm beautiful but I don't have to."
- Try very hard. - Try very hard.
- Okay, I think I'm getting it.
- It's like a new girl next door.
- Yeah, yes. Sort of like a reaction
to Instagram models who are just like.
- So its like you're a cool girl.
I look like this but I only take eight minutes to get ready.
- Yes and I have...
- Oh wow, am I already a VSCO girl?
- [Blonde Woman] Yeah - (laughs)
It's, I'm not like other girls, the aesthetic.
- I am definitely the mom in this video
you guys are explaining to me this new cult thing
that I had no idea about.
- The VSCO hashtag on Instagram has 192 million posts.
- Oh, so it's less of sub culture
and more of a culture culture?
- Honestly we are the sub culture, they are the culture.
- [Blonde Woman] Nice.
- There aren't a lot of rules about
this is VSCO and this is not.
We're sort of trying to live according to the meme
of what VSCO girls traditionally might be.
- A lot of this aesthetic is being kept alive by the youths.
I think it's cool that the youths make their own things.
Let's go get our VSCO accessories.
(chants) VSCO accessories
- Whoa, it's a VSCO miracle.
- Oh my god its VSCO-mas.
- [Blonde Woman] We're here now.
- This is so fun.
- SO we have changed into our outfits
and now we're going to pick some accessories.
- How do I put this on?
Oh.
- It's a lanyard?
- [Mike] (sniggering) It's a friendship bracelet.
- I've never had one of these before.
- We've never had friends before.
- You're decorate your Crocs?
- Yes I am gonna decorate my Crocs.
Put these shoes on the table.
- [Mark] Put shoes on the table.
- Apparently a part of the VSCO aesthetic is,
you decorate your Crocs with different charms
which is great because I already own
five pairs of Corcs bitches.
I just would like to point out though
that I thought Crocs were cool like, two years ago.
- I accidentally just ate Carmex.
- Yeah, obviously my first one will be Captain America.
- So also. - (laughs)
- I was given Birkenstocks that I don't get to decorate
but I have to wear with socks because, apparently,
that's part of the VSCO aesthetic.
The only problem is, I have wide ass feet
and we accidentally bought the narrow kind of Birkenstocks.
- Oh no.
- So I might not be able to wear these as much as I'd like
but I love Berks and I've had Berks my whole life.
I'm a lesbian.
- When they did their first sonogram they were like,
it's a girl and she's wearing
- [Group Speaking] Berkenstocks.
- And my parents were like, no.
- It's crazy because Birkenstocks were actually
super popular in high school for me.
This is just, kind of, a blast from the past.
- Jen did you actually lick any of these scrunchies?
- Uh no, no. I only licked the Carmex.
- Okay, great.
- Can I have the one Carmex that no one has licked or eaten?
- Davin, which one do you want to lick?
- Wait, (laughs) no.
Give me this thing.
- Davin lick that one.
- [Mike] These shells are a vital part of the look.
- Yes because I have to let people know
that I know about the ocean.
Do you wear the scrunchies on your wrist or in your hair?
- [Mike] On your wrist.
- I'm gonna wear one in my (beep) hair.
- [Mike] Hey, do whatever you want.
I have noticed the aesthetic is mostly long, beachy hair.
- Okay
- [Mike] going on which doesn't seem to (laughs)
- I think this looks good.
I think I look really good like this.
- Actually, what we've kind of created here
is sort of like a scrunchy mohawk.
- (mischievous laughter)
- I can smell that cherry Carmex from here.
- I choose this one for you Jen.
- Oh thank you, so cute.
- I went to Sleepaway camp but I didn't have
the attention span to finish a friendship bracelet.
- Or a Sleepaway friendship, honestly.
- No, I had a lot of those.
I was really popular.
- Okay.
- That was like, my first kiss at Sleepaway camp.
- Really? - [Kristen] Really?
- And it was an all girls camp.
- (excitedly) Oh. - (excitedly) Oh.
- But it was with a boy.
- Wait, what?
- We had a boys dance.
- Here, I give this to you Devin.
- Oh Kristen, I love it.
- I see no one has picked out a friendship bracelet for me.
- Okay, I want you to have this one.
- Oh my god thank you.
- Because it's the bisexual colors.
- Oh, actually, that's cute.
- I think my VSCO look is almost complete.
- Mine too.
- I have so much decorating to do.
- Devin can you put this on Kristen?
- Give me your wrist Kristen.
♪ Now you can never take this off. ♪
♪ Never take it off Kristen. ♪
- Wow, you actually know how to tie this.
- No, I'm winging it.
- You wanna put Spiderman on?
- I try.
It's really hard for me to get
his little thing through the hole.
- I do feel like we're in a slumber party.
Like a VSCO slumber party.
- Yeah this is, oh, I got it.
I put a K for Kristen.
- Aw that's my name.
I realize this is the mom in me speaking but
it kind of defeats the purpose of the Crocs
because it allows less air to get into the toes.
- Shut up, put this minion on there.
- Put the minion in there
- Shut up put the minion in there.
- Do not put a minion on there, I refuse.
- What is the VSCO girl pose?
Because the Instagram girl pose
is like this or like this or like blah.
- [Mike] You're not even posing.
You're just there, you're just living your life.
- Oh.
- [Mike] Yeah.
- Easy.
- [Jen] Easy.
- How are you supposed to do this?
What is this?
Should I use my knife?
- No
- Break it?
- [Mike] And then?
- Oh, I almost reached over
at the same time as that happened.
- So sexy when you do that.
- Thanks.
- I love this look for you.
- It's a good look.
- This my greatest creation.
Can I have my Hydro Flask that was bought for me?
- Wow, intercepted.
- I have a bad habit of using too many disposable cups
so we have made a special point of making it so
I have to do the Hydro Flask part of this.
Wow this is a huge Hydro Flask.
- [Group Singing] ♪ Let's take our pictures. ♪
♪ Let's do it right now ♪
♪ La la la la ♪
- [Mike] Look at this aesthetic.
- Hi, I got my backpack.
I'm gonna be late for biology.
- I know that this isn't part of the video
but what do you think about this hat?
Isn't this hat awesome?
- Oh my god this hat can't be in every video.
- [Devin] Shout out to these socks right now.
These VSCO girl socks.
- Look at my sock game.
Also my socks are making me 300% hotter.
It is 95 degrees outside.
- [Kristen] Jen, you threw the hat.
- Why?
- The hat isn't a part of it.
- Look at my wide little duck feet
straining against the Birks.
- [Kristen] You have to take the hat off.
- This is gonna be a fight that lasts forever.
- [Kristen] (laughing) The hat is not part of it.
- [Devin] That's not off.
That's actually more on.
- Give me, come on, come on, come on.
Yep, yep, and then it's gone. (laughs)
- Now make a cute face, not that face.
- [Kristen] Yes that's better.
There we go.
Wow, actually, can you look up again.
Look this way for us a second.
- [Devin] Wow, you look so free.
- This is really good actually.
- Fjallraven.
- Okay, I think I got it.
- Great. - [Mike] Wow
- Actually these photos look (beep) bomb.
- Yeah, yeah, I like those.
- Yeah, these look really good.
- [Mike] Oh, yay we did it.
- Wow, that was so easy.
- Yeah, these look really good.
- Sorry I yelled at you when you tried
to make me take the hat off.
- It's just that I knew that it was gonna make a difference.
- Staying on now though.
- (laughs)
- All right Kristen, your turn.
- Okay.
I'm free.
I'm the VSCO-ist girl of them all.
If I hit someone with this, they would die.
- [Jen] Smack me in the face with your Fjallraven.
- My Fjallraven. (laughs)
- [Devin] Right Jen, you've got to take the photo.
You wanna be in front of the blue wall too?
- You're not the only one who gets the good wall.
- [Mike] Okay.
- I've no idea what my hair looks like right now.
- [Devin] Free. - [Mike] Beachy.
- Can you pick up your Fjallraven?
- And your (speaks sarcastic gibberish).
- My hair is going everywhere.
- Don't forget your (speaks sarcastic gibberish)
- I'm too free.
- Look hot.
One two three hot.
- Over here, move a bit this way.
- I got to pick my shorts out of my.
I got this.
I'm ready.
- (sings an up beat tune)
Oh that's cute.
Like that.
Tongue out.
Wow, she doesn't care.
- I don't give a (beep)
- [Mike] (laughs)
- We actually.
I want to do a couple more
where I'm not doing my tongue out
but it's actually quite cute.
- No more tongue.
Put it away.
- [Devin] Look mad.
- I think also the VSCO pose is also like.
Close up and it's like.
- [Jen] Don't smile.
You're gonna go to taking back Sunday
with you and Derrick this weekend.
Cute, I like this one.
This is very Billie Eilish.
- [Jen] Hey Devin, so what's happening right now.
- I'm a VSCO girl and I also have to pee.
- Yup this is going to be fine.
- Yeah, look like you don't care.
She doesn't care.
I think my shot looks cool.
- [Kristen] Look at those shoes.
Wow, wow.
You actually look really cute.
- Young money.
Here.
- [Group] Yay, we did it.
- Oh god. - Oh no, everywhere. (laughs)
- Well we did it.
- [Kristen] These are some of the cutest photos
we've ever taken of ourselves.
- [Jen] Yeah. - [Devin] Really?
- Actually, this is a cute aesthetic.
Why do we work so hard when we can work less?
- I mean, that's always been my point of view.
Also, what do you guys think of my hat?
Honestly I love wearing big T-shirts.
This is a comfortable outfit.
- Yeah, especially in the summertime.
- This isn't really an oversized shirt for me.
It's just a shirt. (laughs)
It doesn't have to be oversized to look good
it can just be shirt.
- I think sometimes teenagers gravitate
to oversized shirts.
They're like "I'm not necessarily super comfortable
with my changing body."
And I think its cool that, if that's where you're at
we've made aesthetic about it.
- It's casual, you could wear this to the beach
but you could also wear it to the bar.
If you're over age.
- (laughs) Juice bar.
- Teen bar.
- I'm gonna wear it to the doctors office.
- I'm gonna go home and wear it there.
- You're bad.
- (laughs)
- You're so bad.
- So bad.
Trying out VSCO girl looks.
Lady tested.
- [Group Shouting] Lady Charmed.
- Look at my foot.
- (laughs) It's a weird video.
