Aesthetics Wiki

Community-identified aesthetics are those defined and listed by wiki contributors, but lack a distinct aesthetic manifesto, community, or tag. These aesthetics do exist, with clear and connectable links based on location, theme, target demographic or age group, color palette, and other shared characteristics. This category includes aesthetics that predate the emphasis on formally naming aesthetics, general milieus, media with shared tropes, and offline communities.

Note that searching online using these names will not typically yield official results. Instead, page titles are created by wiki contributors and are labeled to best describe the aesthetic in three words or fewer. To find examples of a specific aesthetic online, one should search for its constituent visual elements. For example, when researching Pink Parisian, one might search for "Laduree," "pink roses," and "Old Hollywood" to find users and content related to that aesthetic.

  • Consumer Aesthetics Research Institute ─ CARI is an online community focused on identifying and naming aesthetics in consumer phenomena. While some aesthetics listed here may overlap with CARI's research, this category also includes aesthetics that are either unrelated to commercialism or may not yet have been formally recognized or named by that community.
