JoJo Siwa: Bedazzled Identities and Manufactured Narcissism

Trapped in the delusion loop of the celebrity machine

There’s this JoJo Siwa clip circulating (everything I know about her, I know against my will), a child reality TV star from Teen Moms (I think). Throughout her late teens, she acted under the disguise of a child, an act that has now taken a particular turn (she keeps talking about the drastic switch she's taking…). And now she’s 20, so the act went from weird, to creepy weird, so instead of masquerading as a 10-year-old, she’s a 20-year-old playing the role of…well, a 20-year-old (rebel?).

A rebel that believes they are inventing…gay pop…

Anyway, I couldn’t help but marvel at the extent of her egoism and narcissism, which is blatantly built from pressure to become a product, thus she has become an identity mimicking a product. This has her living in a special kind of delu delu town, surrounded by residents who only know the word ‘yes’.

JoJo has become a representation of life that replaces direct experiences with mere images and appearances. She grew up under the spotlight and pressures…
