In the Early 90's
I bought a bunch of Judge Dredd Comix...In it was a story line, about all citizens being kept in Mega Cities full of crime, drugs and poverty at the mercy of a harsh Authoritative Government that used Judges to keep the line.
In it, people were basically so stupid that everything you believed it was the opposite...Sports, singers, actors were everything even as society crumbled.
The comix showed the extremes of society where incredibly rich walked among incredibly poor, all being held together by social programs and indocternation in the schools.
Among the weird citizens was a group called the "Uglies" who were people who believed that to be beautiful you had to make yourself look strange, different or ugly.
Think of doing an anti-Kardashian where the epitome of beauty was by being hideous.
Errrrrrrm...That sounds EXACTLY as what is happening 25 years later...Word for fucking Word.

I was looking at an art, fashion section and whatever classical beauty and nature was THEY ARE DOING THE OPPOSITE.
Predictive Programming.
No where in History has an entire culture been so crazy hard to make themselves look the opposite of healthy, clean, lean, strong or beautiful.
I see famous people now that weak, overweight, dirty, sloppy or just ugly on purpose.
I was going to post a few pics of Present models but I actually feel bad for them...They look very unhealthy...It's kind of sad.
