25 Pop-Culture ‘Recession Indicators’ That Prove We’re in for A Market Crash

Predicting the stock market is no easy feat. Once described as “a graph of rich people’s feelings,” the economy is just as volatile as a coked-out broker bro’s moods. Even so, there are still ways to get a handle on whether we’re headed for a bull market, a bear market or a full-on depression: jobs reports, consumer confidence, and most importantly, struggling strippers

“The real recession indicator is that I’m trying to get out of the strip club & get a civilian job,” dancer @botticellibimbo recently lamented on Twitter, adding her two cents to the now-viral tweet prompt. 

Sex workers raking in fewer Benjamins is only the beginning, too. Whether it’s ukuleles making a comeback, the return of serifed fonts or Will Smith re-entering the rap game, these “recession indicators” prove we may be in for a big economic downturn.
