Why Are Contemporary Young People Enthusiastic about "gluing"?

Late at night in the rented room, Arlene, a post-95s worker, was so angry by the mold on the corner of the bathroom that she couldn't sleep. The landlord shifted the blame and refused to repair, and the repairman demanded 800 yuan. However, she came across a headline on a short video platform: "Post-2000s use 30 yuan glass glue to save moldy old houses and save rent for the second half of the year!" The next day, her shopping cart added her first glue gun in life!

According to incomplete data statistics, more and more young people are choosing to apply glass glue themselves. This "glue revolution" sweeping through the new era is quietly rewriting contemporary survival rules.

The 'survival game' with a monthly salary of 3000 yuan

In shared apartments in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, glass glue is becoming a "life-saving tool" for young people. According to a survey by the rental group, most tenants have had their deposits deducted by landlords due to moldy walls and water seepage from window sills, and professional repairs often cost hundreds of yuan. The editor will calculate an account for everyone:

The 'survival game' with a monthly salary of 3000 yuan

✅ Economic account: Self purchased glue gun+SN grade anti mold glue (total cost<100 yuan) can handle all the gaps in the house, saving more than 80% compared to the repair technician's quotation.

✅ Health account: Poor quality glass glue exceeds formaldehyde standards. Purchasing high-quality glass adhesive can reduce the risk of illness. In this game, the young man who masters the glue gun can finally say no to the 'rent assassin'!

For the middle class, the 'glue craze' has evolved into a refined form of performance art in daily life! They regard gluing as a way to enhance their lifestyle, pay attention to the choice of glue, pursue environmentally friendly, durable and beautiful materials, and also pay attention to skills and aesthetics in the gluing process, striving for every glue line to be even and smooth, becoming a beautiful scenery in home decoration.

This extreme pursuit of details not only reflects the high demands of the middle class for quality of life, but also showcases their unique taste in elevating daily trivialities into the art of living.

The 'era code' behind it

In the era where efficiency is paramount, young people are experiencing a hidden decline in their hands-on abilities. Delivery platforms have covered kitchen stoves with dust, smart devices have replaced wrenches and screwdrivers, and home services are eroding basic survival skills.

Behind this degradation lies a sophisticated capital algorithm, and maintenance platforms use information asymmetry to create sky high bills. Young people rationalize dependence with "time cost", but unconsciously relinquish their life sovereignty.

This seemingly absurd skill competition is actually a precise counterattack by young people against reality. When capital harvests young people with a 'lazy economy', young people are rebuilding their life sovereignty with a 'glue gun'.

For this "glue revolution" that began with rental housing, the editor believes that when young people raise their glue guns, they not only hit a waterproof defense line, but also a precise counterattack against consumerism and skill anxiety.

Young people should master more "life skills", which can not only improve their self-care ability, but also cultivate problem-solving thinking, enhance psychological resilience, and enable them to demonstrate unique advantages in the workplace! The editor urges young people to pick up a glue gun and learn how to use glass glue. Don't be afraid of failure! After all, life won't give you a chance to start over, but glue can. ”

Choosing glass glue is a considerable skill! In addition to having the ability to apply glue by hand, it is also important to learn how to select glass glue that is suitable for the actual decoration situation at home.
