E-Boys, short for Electronic Boys, gained popularity through the TikTok app, similar to the E-Girl. The style is very close to modern-day grunge with an additional emphasis on electronics.
Trends[]
E-Boys practice a lot of the same trends as the E-Girl trend, like showing interest in anime and video games, having a persona of being soft yet sexy, striped clothes, dyed hair, tattoos beneath the eye, ect.
There are also some trends that are more emphasized in the E-Boy Aesthetic, such as:
- Addiction and sad themes, similar to the Sadboy aesthetic.
- Chains.
- Interest in emo rap/trap metal/mainstream phonk artists and bands such as GothBoiClique, $uicideboy$, Freddie Dredd, Ghostemane, Scarlxrd, Spider Gang, TeamSESH, Juice WRLD, City Morgue, nothing,nowhere., If I Die First, Shinigami, and Poorstacy.
- Self-made temporary tattoos.
- Chipped black nail polish.
- Asymmetrical earrings.
- Split-dyed hair.
- Curtained hair (a.k.a "middle part"). Other hairstyles such as long bangs covering the eyes are popular as well.
- Androgynous fashion.
- Punk ideologies, though this is more of something set in stone for most alternative subcultures and not so much a trend.
- Shopping at thrift-stores and Hot Topic.
- Interest in other alternative subcultures and music genres.
Fashion[]
Similar to their female counterparts, E-Boy fashion tends to draw a lot of inspiration from Emo, Scene, Goth, Punk, Grunge, and Animecore; invoking a sort of "edge" to their personality. They also tend to wear their geekiness on their sleeves as well and will either wear clothing showing off this geeky side, if not getting into outright cosplay with some of their fashion choices. Some people have described younger Damon Albarn from The Blur (specifically for the music video "Girls and Boys") as the blueprint for the modern E-Boy, but Britpop tends to have nothing to do with E-Kids.
