Bimbocore is an internet aesthetic that originated in the early 2020s, primarily on TikTok. Its central purpose is to reclaim and subvert the misogynistic "bimbo" stereotype; the idea of an attractive but unintelligent and superficial woman. Bimbocore embraces a hyperfeminine visual style that draws heavily from the McBling aesthetic of the 2000s, characterized by an abundance of pink, glitter, velour tracksuits, and revealing clothing.
However, unlike the original stereotype, the modern Bimbocore ethos promotes intelligence, self-awareness, body positivity, and staunchly leftist political views. The movement argues that a woman's embrace of hyperfemininity and overt sexuality does not preclude her from being educated, politically engaged, or in control of her own image.
History[]
The term Bimbocore was initially coined in a musical context in 2022 by the artist Scene Queen to describe her signature subgenre, which fuses metalcore with alternative pop and a hyperfeminine aesthetic, as heard on her EP of the same name, Bimbocore EP. The concept was then adopted and expanded by the TikTok community, where it evolved into a broader fashion and lifestyle aesthetic.
Visually, the aesthetic is heavily inspired by the McBling style of the 2000s, drawing on the fashion of icons like Paris Hilton and the visual style of brands like Juicy Couture. It also shares a strong overlap with Barbiecore due to its enthusiastic embrace of the color pink and doll-like imagery. The movement is linked to the concept of "Bimbofication," which has two distinct meanings: one as a BDSM practice and the other, more relevant to the aesthetic, as a modern feminist movement. This second wave of "Bimbo feminism" involves the conscious adoption of a hyperfeminine style to reclaim and subvert the stereotype, arguing that a woman can be intelligent and empowered while still embracing a traditionally "girly" and sexualized appearance.
