Nerdcore

In the MCR fandom, the lead singer went through an era in his early/mid 20’s that we like to call ‘Basement Gerard’.

It basically incomposes a 22-ish year old art student who lives in his parent’s basement, makes comics late at night, doesn’t shower, usually amab but expierences gender Incongruencies, obsessed with star wars, a softie, abuses alcohol, and has a crush on David Bowie.

This aesthetic includes an obsession with comic books especially DC, coffee, britpop, metal bands, art, bugs and bats, Star Wars/ sci-fi, and vampires.

The style of dress would include dark neutral colors with pops of soft primary colors, band tees, shoulder length unwashed hair, black zip-up hoodies, ratty sneakers, messenger bags, possibly guyliner, fun scarves, and loose 90’s-esque jeans.

I’d say this aesthetic is mostly based off of the 1997-2005 comic book scene, but less on the incel misogynist nerd side and more on the adorkable feminist has a crush on Anakin Skywalker side.
