Is there an explanation why predominantly urbanites seem to have an obsession with their appearance so much that they base and base other peoples entire personalities off how they dress and what they look like?

>The first stage of the economy’s domination of social life brought about an evident degradation of being into having — human fulfillment was no longer equated with what one was, but with what one possessed. The present stage, in which social life has become completely dominated by the accumulated productions of the economy, is bringing about a general shift from having to appearing — all “having” must now derive its immediate prestige and its ultimate purpose from appearances. At the same time all individual reality has become social, in the sense that it is shaped by social forces and is directly dependent on them. Individual reality is allowed to appear only if it is not actually real.

It's because urban sprawls are the apex of capitalist consumerism. Under capitalism all things are reduced to "callus cash payments" and financial transactions. The human-being under capitalism is no longer a human being we are merely walking commodities and our value will be treated as such by the type of and amount of commodities we flaunt, wear, and signal about. Rural dwellers do this too: Look at the corporate crafted image of a cowboy in ranglers drinking a bud-light while driving a pickup.

It's all the same thing: The blue haired liberal retard and the gun fetishizing conservative moron are literally exactly the same: They are what they buy; they are commodities.

The problem is cities op

Humans are naturally self preservational and were evolved to survive in groups no more than 30, the problem is cities is it turns humans into a commodity and as a city grows larger and population densities increase along with it the effects start growing more severe, humans starting off as individuals that are capable of using basic tools like a hammer, shovel, pickaxe, axe and knife along with understanding the most basics of farming and hunting being turned into proles dependent on the fruits of industrial society with a need to whore themselves on the job market to survive, stories of the poor turning towards organized crime simply to feed themselves on a consistent basis, mass riots and outbreaks of incivility and violence over minor events, people murdering each other over social status or place of origin within neighboring cities. It's not healthy none of it is and as industrial society grows and the rise of urbanism with it, global dissatisfaction, drug addiction and mental illness will naturally skyrocket with it. Oh well…

I don't think you know what a commodity is, and this entire post reads like a pseud who just read too many Kaczynski memes. Cities under capitalism are nothing more then hubs of commerce in which people are inherently made alienated from one another. Cities under socialism have no such issue, and are a necessity. It's would be quite literally impossible for people to be "commodities".

It has to do with socioeconomic inequality. As it increases, one’s own status and sources of self-worth become more important, especially in the lower levels, as the situation and risk of being low status becomes more and more dire. Thus people will become obsessed with status and class signaling nonsense like this, to convince others and themselves that they’re worth more and thus deserve better treatment, and as a way to undermine rivals. Society has encouraged people to compete against each other.

Take the Maupinpill, aesthetics should not be totally forgotten. The Black Panthers had a great advantage in their uniforms, which demonstrated their determination and dedication to the revolution. Of course, this has to go with a good political program, also.
