Are Lifestyle Trends Driven by Choice or Marketing?

[Serene]

Fitness, wellness, and fashion trends are often marketed heavily. Are people adopting these habits out of genuine interest, or because of social pressure and advertising? How can individuals distinguish authentic lifestyle choices from marketed ideals?

I think lifestyle trends are a mix of both. Marketing amplifies certain styles or habits, making them visible and desirable, but people also adopt trends because they genuinely connect with their values or aesthetics. It’s hard to separate true choice from the influence of constant promotion.

It's mostly influenced by marketing in my opinion. This is because it's that which is being pushed on the social media sites that ends up becoming a trend. This in return makes people choose it as their choices.

The trends are all about marketing. Businesses and marketers use trends to drive sales or engagements.

Nowadays, I feel like lifestyle is driven by marketing. People trying to behave in a particular way all because of what a particular influencer said. Some are subtle suggestions that a particular product is better if you want this or that, and that's how many people will begin to get that particular product.
