99% Bougie

The paragraph is taken from the result of an online personality quiz- ‘What percent bougie are you?’- and answers that you are ‘99% bougie!’. I have been using text in my work, and in particular results from silly online personality quizzes as a way of conveying heavy thoughts and overloaded self-analysis. Reducing these ideas to meaningless and fun statements allows them to become relatable to my generation.



(Note.. Bougie is a term created in current online and meme culture. It derives from the word bourgeoisie, and means to be classy, wealthy, fancy)
