It is normal for people to have anxiety about death. Libido and fear of death are two massive motivations. Sometimes they are unconcsious motivations. Marketers mess with our ability to know what we need and what will be satisfying. They tamper with our imagination as the result of the void. It shows up in weird ways. We fill the void with imagination and consumption. Imagination in the creation of art is good. Imagination in unrealistic expectations for consumption is bad.
I have clothes. I have plenty of clothes. I have an understanding of color theory and can generally dress myself to be passable in society. There is no such thing as authenticity in this regard. Unless maybe if I got my clothes from a small indigenous group of people in South America who custom made me some outfits. Any magazine, any shop, any online store is going to command the title of "purveyor of taste." Personally, I think just wearing white t-shirts and blue jeans everyday is better than falling into the consumption trap. But, in bourgois life there are dress codes...
Oh, geez, they are just clothes, this is embarrassing. If I was a farmer this would not even be on the radar. I am not a farmer though. I am a poor that wants status but not in the conventional ways. Although, wearing business casual and having a 4 bedroom house and a 401k would be nice. Only if I can also afford the servants to clean the house, mow the lawn, pick up dog shit, you know the drill.
I fit into the local gym community, the local neighborhood dog walkers community, the read alone by myself community. I fit into the alienated labor community but that does not help anyone. We are all atomized, isolated, and estranged. There is no alienated labor community.

If you're reasonably healthy and you're not old, then you shouldn't be thinking about death.
