Some of my fave aesthetics from our cousin site, CARI(Consumer Aesthetics Research Institute)

I have more favorites if anyone’s interested, but I decided to cover just these

#1: Soft Countriana

Did you guys know that the first instance of Cottagecore goes back to the 1980s?

It originated as a conservative interior aesthetic, but regardless of political context I like the look of it, it’s like Cottagecore, Dollette, and Babycore mashed together.

#2 Preschool Pop

This one has likely been co opted a bit with Kidcore, but it originated in the 90s and has a bit more of an artsy feel to it.

Been debating adding this one to the Wiki

#3: Groovival

Mistakengly referred to as the “70s aesthetic”, this is the 90s interpretation of the Hippie look, it’s also referred to as Y2K hippie

The colors and symbols remind me of Indie Kid
