In recent years, it has become apparent that people of our generation have opted for more revealing Halloween costumes.
Whether it be a seductive cat held together by a pair of short shorts and lace tights or a provocative police officer uniform hanging onto its last button, these costumes have definitely caught the attention of everyone in sight.
Revealing Halloween costumes are not just seen amongst females. Boys also find humor and satisfaction in wearing costumes that showcase their muscles, especially their upper bodies. For example, the classic shirtless firefighter costume that consists of only pants and suspenders is especially prominent nowadays.
Without a doubt, the media’s influence has changed the mindset of people of all ages. Clearly, people are leaning towards more revealing, "sexy" costumes because that is how the media markets Halloween costumes.
Has today’s generation been molded into an entity that finds satisfaction in degrading oneself through these poor excuses of Halloween costumes?
In short, it appears that people have begun to treat Halloween as more of an excuse to wear seductive costumes. In doing so, they have failed to honor the beautiful and colorful Halloween for what it truly is—a holiday where friends can come together and have fun while expressing their creativity through carefully crafted costumes.
