Unconfuzed - decoding slang old and new
Labubu stole my soul (and maybe my paycheck)
Welcome back to Unconfuzed — where pop culture gets put under the microscope, and delusion is always on the table.
I’m Clarissa, and today we’re diving deep into the weird, wild, and wallet-draining world of Labubu — the creepy-cute goblin doll that’s haunting your TikTok, hijacking your group chats, and somehow convincing Gen Z to drop hundreds for a mystery box.
Joining me are my unfiltered ride-or-dies — Lisa, Leilia, and Heynia — as we ask the real questions:
Cute, creepy, or cringey?
What is this “ugly-cute” weirdcore aesthetic — and why is it blowing up?
Who’s spending big on these freaky little figures?
And how did something that looks like a gremlin in a raincoat make over $1.8 billion?
We’re unpacking the rise of blind box FOMO, how celebrity cosigns (hi, Lisa from BLACKPINK 👀) helped catapult Labubu into the mainstream, and why accessories for these dolls are becoming a luxury side hustle of their own.
So grab your overpriced keychain and your most questionable impulse buy and hit play.
Let’s get Unconfuzed.
