Note: This is a joke aesthetic, and should not be included in the list of aesthetics or taken seriously. Also, all of the info is made up. It ain't real. Only heedra's post is the info about the aesthetic. Soz :(
Dark Jock is a joke aesthetic concept created by tumblr user @heedra. In a post, they say, "im adopting the ‘dark jock’ aesthetic. i’m going to lurk around crumbling old institute buildings in a black tanktop with a skull on it and a backwards ballcap and i’m going to get dark academia people to write my essays for me while i call them nerds and doofuses and prep for the big dark football game."[1]
The aesthetic is the jock counterpart to Dark Academia, and would describe a hypothetical jock living in the same Gothic university environment. The goals of the "dark jock" would be to excel in athletics while still being in a prestigious university because of this prowess and possible bribery. Like a normal jock, they would antagonize the nerds and use them as a means to assert their social status, a good counterpart to the Dark Academics murdering each other for the sake of getting their peers' academic positions.
