Revision as of 23:48, 30 October 2020

Chaotic Academia is an aesthetic that involves haphazard routines, messy habits, unusual or banned literature and studying with a passion.This subtype of academia promotes the acceptance of messy or seemingly uncomposed traits some students may have.

Intentions

Chaotic Academia can be defined as:

An academia movement that welcomes the disconnection between appearance and personality. The aim is to normalise and humanise the academic aesthetic and reclaim it from the elitism of days gone by.
This aesthetic intends to focus on the process of learning instead of stressing over looks and trying to perfect one's secondary aspects like fashion of.

Visuals

The idea is to accept and stop judging the less visually pleasing or perfectly performed tasks and processes. Furthermore, unlike some other genres, it doesn't inherently agree to follow the rules and implies some form of visual or behavioral variety from the all-accepted idea of the prim and proper academics. Be yourself, have fun and enjoy studying. For some the floor is the best place to study, people can lack of time management, scrawl poetry on a napkin and not in a notebook, use vandalism for help on an exam, and have anarchism quotes all over notes. And it's fine!

Activities

There are endless ways in how academic chaos can be performed in one's lifestyle. Some activities it's associated with are:

Performing rituals in class with books etc.
Spending days on the grounds of school
Handing in homework at the last minute
School uniforms getting torn or being dirty
Food fights
Study parties at 1 am
Sneaking out of school or skipping class
Reciting useless facts
Drinking cold tea
Reading banned books
Leaving annotations in the margins of library books
Always losing your pens
Covering your bedroom wall in sticky notes
Collecting books written in languages you don't understand
Intense and quick obsessions that consume your soul
Spacing out in class
Swearing and slang while discussing deep academic topics
Emptying your pockets at the end of the day and coming to a total of four pens, a pocket notebook, two receipts, and a highlighter
Using a rubber band to tie your hair back
Taking a "quick break" then waking up at the middle of the night
Drinking energy drinks from vintage teacups
Going out during breaks in the rain deliberately to get wet
Putting your feet up on the desk while you think with your pen behind your ear
Sneaking into the library after hours to "borrow" restricted fiction
Writing too many unorganized and uncoordinated annotations

Fashion

The style doesn't have to be strictly formal and proper. Uniform should be fun! Messing with a shirt a bit, altering it to one's liking, cutting and fixing in different places. Convenience and comfort are prioritised. Anything school related or quick and easy will do. Be yourself!

Some of these examples are:

Button downs open over logo tee shirts
Messy eyeliner
Heavy boots
Mismatched socks
The same hoodie every day
Patched or torn clothes
Too many cardigans and sweaters
School uniform but worn incorrectly; neckties around heads, ripped stockings
Large blazers
Sandals (when you’re too lazy to put on boots)
