Everything was better before? The sentence has now been refuted many times, not only in the case of topics that are so important in Munich, such as maximum temperatures, beer prices or S-Bahn breakdowns. Today one could rather say: Everything is better in the past. This is what the flâneur must have thought when he strolls along Klenzestraße towards Gärtnerplatz these days, past the elementary school to the adjoining Huber cosmetics studio, where “teenie specials” (up to 16) are offered. Manicures with polish, for example, are available for 25 euros for adults.
In this case, of course, it is fair to ask the question about the hen and the egg, or rather the chick. The supply is very likely because the demand is there. A lot or everything is still shifting forward among young people.
Sports clubs and their trainers have long been adapting their training concepts because the children at the age when they used to learn a lot about motor skills are now listless again and their voices are almost breaking. At the Olympic Games, the athletes are getting younger and younger (exception: officials and riders), at the local variant, the Oktoberfest, the attempts to get into the beer tents with forged or borrowed ID cards are becoming more and more professional. Of course, a visit to the beauty salon is also worthwhile for this. But the whole development is no wonder. If the man from Munich has his master’s degree by the age of 21 at the latest, he’ll have to go through the whole youth routine earlier. This is one of the reasons why beer pong no longer has an age limit.
Munich elementary schools are forced to look for new cooperation partners. Instead of boy scouts and DLRG, non-profit associations such as L’Oreal or Schwarzkopf have long been lining up for first-grader tutorials. The smearing gap between baby and acne cream should be closed quickly. Of course, Salon Huber on Gärtnerplatz also offers pimple treatments (35 euros). Because smooth skin is expected in Munich at the latest for the doctorate ceremony.
