What I'm most struck by is how the structure of it—the list of images that aren't really related but that together arguably create some sort of vibe—reads like a tumblr moodboard. For those who haven't been on tumblr, a moodboard is a grid of classically 6 (although the number can vary) images that together communicate some sort of mood (typically a romanticized mood).

In particular, that bit about projecting a movie and watching it with her boyfriend while eating vegan food in their plant-and-incense filled apartment—that there is a whole scene. And a scene from an indie music video at that.

It would be more polite of me to be angry and indignant, I suppose, but honestly I mostly just see a teenage girl with a wistful idea of the boyfriend and apartment and friend group she would like to have. The AAP just seems to be sprinkled on top.
