List of Deleted Pages and Why

In an effort to maintain the integrity of the Aesthetics Wiki, several pages have been removed for non-compliance with our rules and standards. Aesthetics documented on this Wiki must have a demonstrable existence outside of this platform. Pages created solely within the Wiki will be removed, regardless of their current popularity. We have clarified our guidelines, and detailed information regarding Wiki Page Standards can be found under the "Rules" tab at the top of the page.

Not an aesthetic

Pages in this category are either too specific or too inconsistent to be considered an aesthetic.

  • Description: Based on a joke.

• Free smiley core:
  • Description: Vague and undefined.
  • Delete Reason: Based around a single website rather than a broader aesthetic.
• Trendercore:
  • Description: Glorifies harmful stereotypes against transgender people.
  • Delete Reason: Offensive content; it boils down to Scene + trans stereotypes.
• Gnarpcore:
  • Description: Aesthetic based on a meme.
  • Delete Reason: Single-subject, pre-existing media.
• Corecore:
  • Description: An ironic 2020s internet sensibility.
  • Delete Reason: Primarily self-parody.
• Ripcore:
  • Description: Unclear.
  • Delete Reason: Lacks definition and evidence.
• INFINIcore:
  • Description: Vague and undefined.
  • Delete Reason: Lacks substance and clear visual representation.
• Covidcore, Autism-Core:
  • Description: Aesthetics based on sensitive topics.
  • Delete Reason: Insensitive and potentially harmful. Autism-Core also was self promotional.
• Dark Clowncore:
  • Description: Vague and undefined.
  • Delete Reason: Lacks substance and clear visual representation.
• Ancestrycore:
  • Description: An "aesthetic" based on the graphic design of ancestry.com.
  • Delete Reason: Lacks visual contributions and evidence of broader adoption.
• Comiccore:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on comics.
  • Delete Reason: Too broad, as comics encompass diverse artistic styles. Pages based on specific comic styles (e.g., 1960s, DC/Marvel) are acceptable.
• Nihilcore:
  • Description: A mix of nihilistic philosophy and visuals.
  • Delete Reason: Visuals are redundant to Sadbois and Sadgirls, and lacks independent community presence.
• Shartycore/Cobsoncore:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on a obscure soyjak variant.
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic, single-subject, constantly attracted vandals.
• Pornocore:
  • Description: Aesthetic based on inappropriate content.
  • Delete Reason: TOS-breaking, no evidence of being an established aesthetic.
• 3chancore:
  • Description: Offshoot of the "Lottie Clone" aesthetic.
  • Delete Reason: Personal aesthetic.
• RBV Core:
  • Description: Rose/Blue/Violet colour palette.
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic.
• Himbocore:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on the "himbo" stereotype.
  • Delete Reason: Created as a forced counterpart to Bimbocore; no evidence of being an established aesthetic. The media examples were too broad.
• Sparklecore:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on sparkles, shiny objects, and comfort.
  • Delete Reason: Page failed to establish a cohesive and distinct aesthetic identity. The described visuals and motifs are overly broad and readily categorized under other, more established aesthetics. The page lacked focused analysis and primarily presented a collection of loosely associated elements. Some content was moved to Single-Subject Aesthetics.
• Dungeoncore:
  • Description: An aesthetic centered around the style of fantasy dungeons.
  • Delete Reason: Page is significantly underdeveloped and incomplete. The creator is inactive, and the associated YouTube channel is deleted, which suggests it's a personal aesthetic. The definition was vague. The page was originally created in Russian, further complicating accurate documentation.
• Driftcore:
  • Description: An aesthetic featuring imagery related to drifting cars and Japanese culture.
  • Delete Reason: The page lacks a clear and consistent definition of the aesthetic. It is primarily focused on a niche interest rather than a cultural phenomenon. The creator has a history of creating problematic or poorly defined pages. A page on Phonk (ranging from Early Phonk to its TikTok-centric subgenres) would be more helpful.
• Hatecore:
  • Description: A subgenre of Hardcore Punk that incorporates neo-nazi imagery and hate speech, rejected by the punk subculture.
  • Delete Reason: The page documents a subculture and associated content that inherently violates the Fandom Community Guidelines, specifically the rules against hate speech and promoting violence. The uncritical inclusion of fascist imagery and the glorification of hate speech are unacceptable and pose a risk of normalizing or inciting harm. Furthermore, the page was created by a user who was permanently blocked for repeatedly attempting to downplay fascism in the Yé-yé page (specifically its impact in Spain) or falsely associate elements of the punk subculture with fascist ideologies, which strongly suggests a biased perspective and agenda.
• Tinkercore:
  • Description: An aesthetic focused on making things, DIY projects, and related activities.
  • Delete Reason: The page describes a set of activities and visuals related to making and building things, which are more like a context than a distinct aesthetic. It lacks a defined stylistic element and overlaps with existing aesthetics like Steampunk.
• Malwarecore:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on a vague collection of virus/scam images.
  • Delete Reason: The page lacks a clear definition of an aesthetic, instead presenting a vague collection of images related to viruses and scams. It does not constitute a cohesive visual or cultural style.
• Trashcore:
  • Description: An aesthetic based around decaying, abandoned buildings and general garbage.
  • Delete Reason: The page presented a vague and overly broad definition. This lack of specificity makes it difficult to define a distinct aesthetic. The concept appears to be niche and lacks widespread notability, and its reliance on subjective notions of "grossness" makes it difficult to define objectively.
• Bar Mitzvahcore:
  • Description: Page described an aesthetic centered around North American Jewish Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebrations.
  • Delete Reason: Primarily documents a specific cultural event, not a distinct and broadly applicable aesthetic. The page also risks oversimplifying and stereotyping a cultural practice.
• JewCampCore:
  • Description: Page described a nostalgic aesthetic based in Jewish summer camp life.
  • Delete Reason: Redundant to summer camp aesthetics; the term has a high potential for misinterpretation.
• Soggy/Soggycore/Swampcore:
  • Description: Page described an aesthetic centered around Wetland-like locations, as well as decay.
  • Delete Reason: Does not constitute a cohesive or widely recognized aesthetic style (arguably belongs in Single-Subject Aesthetics), and it lacks focus.
• Voidcore:
  • Description: Page attempted to define an aesthetic based on vague concepts like "empty space" and "nothingness."
  • Delete Reason: Vague and subjective definition, lack of a clear aesthetic, significant overlap/redundancy with Liminal Space, Weirdcore, and Voidpunk. The page might be recreated if proven to be distinctive.
• Bibliopunk:
  • Description: A supposed aesthetic of punks aiding libraries.
  • Delete Reason: No external evidence, lacks visual gallery, and is more of a personal preference than an aesthetic. Overlaps with Chaotic Academia.
• Hermitpunk:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on hermit-style living, living alone in the woods, and surviving in nature.
  • Delete Reason: The term "Hermitpunk" lacks sufficient notability. The aesthetic is poorly defined and overlaps significantly with existing aesthetics like Cottagecore, Cabincore, Naturecore, and Adventurecore.
• Siberian Punk:
  • Description: A musical, poetic, and cultural movement from Siberia.
  • Delete Reason: Primarily a musical/cultural movement, lacking a sufficiently distinct and cohesive visual aesthetic.
• False Memory:
  • Description: Vague and undefined.
  • Delete Reason: Lacks substance and clear visual representation.
• Postmodernism:
  • Description: A philosophical concept.
  • Delete Reason: Lacks a consistent aesthetic. A page that explains the concept and acknowledges it is not a single aesthetic is welcome.
• Colorful Black:
  • Description: A color scheme.
  • Delete Reason: Describes a color palette rather than a comprehensive aesthetic. Short word count.
• Cosplay:
  • Description: A hobby that involves dressing up or acting like a fictional character.
  • Delete Reason: Visuals vary depending on the character being portrayed, lacking consistency.
• Pop/Popular:
  • Description: A music genre.
  • Delete Reason: Too broad, as popular music (or pop, for short) encompasses diverse aesthetics and varies by region and decade. Lacks set visual expectations. Pages on individual subgenres (e.g., Yé-yé, City Pop) with consistent aesthetics are welcome.
• Futago:
  • Description: Japanese "twinning" outfits.
  • Delete Reason: Inconsistent visuals, as various styles can fit within the trend.
• Newweb:
  • Description: Vague and undefined.
  • Delete Reason: Lacks substance and clear visual representation.
• Chill:
  • Description: Vague and undefined.
  • Delete Reason: Lacks substance and clear visual representation.
• Frudiger coffee:
  • Description: Vague and undefined.
  • Delete Reason: Lacks substance and clear visual representation.
• Suspect Girl:
  • Description: Lacks external validation.
  • Delete Reason: No results on social platforms.
• School:
  • Description: Vague and undefined.
  • Delete Reason: Lacks substance and clear visual representation.
• Neptunicluster:
  • Description: Single-subject aesthetic.
  • Delete Reason: Too specific.
• Brazorian Gothic:
  • Description: Vague and undefined.
  • Delete Reason: Lacks substance and clear visual representation.
• Lesbianism:
  • Description: Sexual orientation.
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic.
• G0y:
  • Description: LGBT+ subculture.
  • Delete Reason: Lacks defined fashion or visuals.
• Chuuniwave:
  • Description: Japanese character trope.
  • Delete Reason: Lacks defined visuals.
• Panfandom:
  • Description: Concept of multiple fandoms.
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic.
• Common image:
  • Description: Vague and undefined.
  • Delete Reason: Lacks substance and clear visual representation.
• Pinterest country girl:
  • Description: Vague and undefined.
  • Delete Reason: Lacks substance and clear visual representation.
• Sportslife:
  • Description: Vague and undefined.
  • Delete Reason: Lacks substance and clear visual representation.
• Bubblegum EV, Chrome Galactica, Dream Ink:
  • Description: Vague and undefined.
  • Delete Reason: Lacks substance and clear visual representation.
• Internet Death Grunge:
  • Description: Aesthetic based around death threats.
  • Delete Reason: Harmful content.
• Nudity:
  • Description: Explicit content.
  • Delete Reason: Violates terms of service.
• Beige:
  • Description: A color.
  • Delete Reason: Describes a color, not an aesthetic.
• Kitty:
  • Description: User page content.
  • Delete Reason: Misplaced content.
• Usedcvnt:
  • Description: Name of an obscure music album.
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic.
• Anime Zionism:
  • Description: Anime characters combined with Israeli military motifs.
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic, ethical considerations.
• Level !!:
  • Description: Backrooms-related page.
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic, created on the wrong wiki.
• Meta Aesthetic:
  • Description: A combination of various, if not all, aesthetics at once.
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic, potential troll content.
• AI Thinkpiece:
  • Description: A particular stereotype of AI-generated imagery.
  • Delete Reason: Consists entirely of AI-generated images, which are not allowed on the wiki.
• Thonkingposting:
  • Description: A parody of phonk edits on TikTok.
  • Delete Reason: Not a serious aesthetic, moved to the Joke Aesthetics Wiki.
• Manly Men:
  • Description: Men who align with traditional notions of masculinity.
  • Delete Reason: Low-effort page, featured AI-generated text. Recreation is discouraged due to its broad nature.
• English Major:
  • Description: Aesthetic based around the experience of being an English major.
  • Delete Reason: The gallery solely consisted of tweets rather than a coherent aesthetic.
• Randumb:
  • Description: A combination of "random" and "dumb" memes.
  • Delete Reason: Too broad.
• Palewave:
  • Description: A mid-2010s microtrend consisting of pale colour palettes.
  • Delete Reason: Dated trend that accounts to little more than a specific color palette.
• Queer Villainy:
  • Description: Villain fictional characters who are queer or queer-coded.
  • Delete Reason: Too broad; media examples were disparate.
• Color Pop:
  • Description: Photo editing technique.
  • Delete Reason: Describes a technique, not an aesthetic.
• ElsaGate:
  • Description: Controversy surrounding inappropriate children's content.
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic.
• Kawaii Warrior:
  • Description: A trend within the early animation meme community, featuring furry characters, vibrant colors, and emo and scene influences.
  • Delete Reason: Moved to Personal Aesthetics Wiki. While it is a real trend, it's too specific and overlaps too much with existing aesthetics (e.g., Scene, Furry, 2010s Internet) for a main wiki page.
• Manic Pixie Dream Girl:
  • Description: A character trope.
  • Delete Reason: AI-generated text.
• Milk:
  • Description: A recurring motif in some aesthetics, featuring milk cartons, bottles, dairy-related imagery, and Japanese or Korean text.
  • Delete Reason: Single-subject; images were merged to Softie.
• Girly Girl:
  • Description: A woman that aligns with traditional notions of femininity.
  • Delete Reason: Page featured AI-generated text and devolved into a stereotypical character list; lacks focused aesthetic analysis and relies on overly broad definitions. It also created an inaccurate hierarchy, falsely claiming that "Girly Girl" can serve as an umbrella term for any feminine aesthetic.
• Beach Bunny:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on the objectification of women at the beach.
  • Delete Reason: Plagiarized definition. Also, the term 'Beach Bunny' has sexist connotations and the aesthetic is poorly defined. A page documenting the beach culture of the 1950s-1970s would be more appropriate and neutral.
• Soft Indie:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on pale yet bubbly colors and patterns, such as polka dots, stripes, and random patterns.
  • Delete Reason: There is no evidence of widespread recognition or external sources to define "Soft Indie" as a distinct aesthetic. The described elements are readily categorized under other, more established aesthetics, such as Indie.
• Teenagers in the Woods:
  • Description: A horror-inspired aesthetic centered on the trope of teenagers in peril within wooded settings.
  • Delete Reason: Page described a generic horror trope, not a distinct aesthetic. It lacked unique visuals, overlapped with Cabincore and Horror, and lacked sufficient substance or evidence of notability as a separate aesthetic.
• PSY-OP Girl:
  • Description: A social media stereotype involving an overlap of the E-Girl (socially) and Military aesthetics, suspected to be recruiting efforts.
  • Delete Reason: Primarily an online phenomenon, not a distinct and broadly applicable aesthetic. The page's visuals largely overlap with the Military page, with the addition of E-Girl social media practices. The page's creator had a pattern of creating meme-related or otherwise questionable aesthetics.
• Pixelboard:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on collaborative pixel games (e.g., r/place)
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic/Author request.
• Hands Up:
  • Description: An electronic music genre that originated in Germany in the 2000s (e.g., Cascada, Manian, ItaloBrothers).
  • Delete Reason: Primarily a music genre with limited distinct aesthetic associations. Per the page creator's request, the page is being deleted as it is acknowledged that Hands Up lacks sufficient visual distinctiveness to warrant a separate aesthetic page.
• Amateur Photography:
  • Description: Imagery characterized by weird angles, random objects, and low quality.
  • Delete Reason: The page described a lack of aesthetic intent and technical proficiency rather than a distinct visual style. It is more of a description of a historical limitation than a deliberate artistic movement. Its inclusion in the art movements category was misleading.
• Floral Academia:
  • Description: An aesthetic combining floral elements with academic themes.
  • Delete Reason: Redundant. The page describes an aesthetic that largely overlaps with Light Academia, Romantic Academia, and Bloomcore/Spring. The term itself lacks widespread use, and the concept is not sufficiently distinct to warrant a separate page.
• Dark Culture:
  • Description: An umbrella term encompassing various alternative subcultures and styles.
  • Delete Reason: Page is significantly underdeveloped and incomplete. The creator is unable to dedicate the time to complete it, making deletion the most practical option.
• Lottie Clone:
  • Description: An online trend combining Cutecore with references to 4chan or imageboard culture, frequently involving controversial themes, based on the work of a single artist (Lottie).
  • Delete Reason: The page documents a trend that is strongly associated with the controversies surrounding the artist Lottie and the potential for harmful content within imageboard references (sexualization of minors, far-right extremism, depictions of animal abuse). The lack of distinctiveness from Cutecore and the risk of normalizing harmful content make deletion a recommended course of action.
• Animegrind:
  • Description: A subgenre of Goregrind music with visuals that include anime themes and grotesque imagery.
  • Delete Reason: The page documents a very niche subgenre of music with visuals that include extremely problematic and potentially harmful content, including depictions of gore/ero-guro, sexual violence, and child sexual abuse. The potential for harm and ethical concerns outweigh any potential value in documenting this subculture.
• Sigma:
  • Description: A concept and subculture centered around the "Sigma male" ideology.
  • Delete Reason: The page primarily focuses on the "Sigma male" ideology and related social concepts, rather than presenting a distinct visual or cultural aesthetic. Furthermore, the term "Sigma" has become heavily diluted and satirized, making it unsuitable for an aesthetics-focused wiki.
• Incel:
  • Description: An online subculture of individuals who self-identify as "Involuntary Celibates."
  • Delete Reason: The page documents an online subculture that, while real, does not present a distinct visual or cultural aesthetic. The "fashion" section describes a stereotypical look that is essentially casual clothing, lacking a defined style, unlike other subcultures documented on the wiki.
• Snackwave:
  • Description: An aesthetic revolving around positivity with unhealthy food.
  • Delete Reason: The page appears to describe a short-lived and poorly documented internet trend. It lacks sufficient reliable sources or cultural significance.
• Lit Kid:
  • Description: A combination of Kidcore and Academia aesthetics.
  • Delete Reason: Redundant. The page describes an aesthetic that is essentially a combination of Kidcore and Academia, lacking sufficient distinctiveness to warrant a separate page.
• Psychonaut:
  • Description: A subculture and practice centered around altered states of consciousness, often through the use of psychedelic drugs.
  • Delete Reason: The page primarily documents a practice and subculture (psychonautics) rather than a distinct visual or cultural aesthetic, largely overlapping with Psychedelia. The page's strong emphasis on drug use makes it unsuitable for an aesthetics-focused wiki.
• Necrotrap:
  • Description: A niche subgenre of Trap Metal characterized by dark and disturbing lyrics, often referencing death, violence, and Middle Eastern terrorism.
  • Delete Reason: The page described "Necrotrap" as a music genre and subculture, but it is primarily a "brand"/personal subgenre associated with the group "NECROSOCIETY." Due to its limited notability, lack of objective definition (with artist inclusion being arbitrary), and sourcing issues, as well as the inclusion of unsourced allegations and community drama, this content is unsuitable for the wiki.
• Ah Beng, Bombardier, Cagole, Cani, Choni, Cocalar, Dresiarz, Dizelaši, Eshay, Gopnik, Pițipoancă, Racaille, Talahon:
  • Description: These pages documented various subcultures, trends, or slang terms from different countries, all associated with harmful and classist stereotypes. These stereotypes targeted social groups based on factors such as class, gender, ethnicity, or region.
  • Delete Reason: These pages shared the fundamental problem of documenting slang terms that perpetuated harmful stereotypes. Even with attempts at neutrality or description, they inherently risked reinforcing negative generalizations about specific social groups. Many of the terms themselves carried derogatory connotations, and their use serves to position the speaker in a superior social position, reinforcing class-based divides. Furthermore, the described behaviors and appearances were often presented through a lens of social prejudice rather than as distinct and intentionally developed aesthetics. This lack of genuine aesthetic focus and the reinforcement of class-based division necessitated the deletion of these pages.
  • Important Note: Pages that document initially classist or otherwise harmful stereotypes that have been sufficiently reclaimed by the communities they describe (e.g., Chav, Chonga, Raxet) can remain on the wiki, provided they acknowledge the term's history, emphasize the reclamation efforts, and avoid perpetuating the original stereotypes.
• Cyberspace Webrooms:
  • Description: Page described virtual worlds and their evolution.
  • Delete Reason: The page primarily documents a technological and cultural phenomenon (the history and evolution of virtual worlds) rather than a cohesive and distinct visual aesthetic. The scope is broad, and the visual styles vary a lot across different genres, eras, and platforms. While there are some recurring visual elements and overlaps with aesthetics like Old Web, Y2K Futurism, and Frutiger Aero, it is more productive to include these games as examples of individual aesthetics rather than an unified one.
• Christian Hardcore:
  • Description: Page documented a subgenre of metalcore characterized by Christian themes.
  • Delete Reason: The page primarily documents Christian Hardcore as a subgenre of metalcore, with limited evidence of a distinct and cohesive visual aesthetic. The listed subgenres are questionable in terms of being related to Christian metal, and the available visuals are often generic or only loosely associated with the music. The topic also presents challenges in finding appropriate and non-offensive imagery.
• C-Pop:
  • Description: Page documented Chinese popular music as a musical genre.
  • Delete Reason: The page primarily documents C-pop as a music genre, with a limited and underdeveloped discussion of its visual aesthetics. While C-pop is a culturally significant phenomenon, the page's focus on music history, subgenres, and related artists makes it more suitable for a wiki dedicated to music.
• Bro/Brocore/Kyle:
  • Description: Page documented a social subculture of young hypermasculine men.
  • Delete Reason: The page primarily describes a social subculture and its associated behaviors, values, and stereotypes. While there are visual and fashion elements associated with this subculture, they are often secondary to the cultural identity and lack the cohesive, intentional design that defines a distinct aesthetic. Furthermore, the page relies heavily on stereotypes, which is problematic.
• Animesque:
  • Description: Animation produced outside of Japan that incorporates anime tropes.
  • Delete Reason: The page's definition, which centers on animation produced outside of Japan that incorporates anime tropes, is too broad and encompasses a diverse range of visual styles. The listed media examples are too disparate, and the concept is more accurately described as a cultural descriptor (anime-influenced) or genre classification rather than a distinct and unified aesthetic.
• Bootleg Game:
  • Description: Page documented the visual and cultural characteristics of cheap, unauthorized video game copies and game hacks.
  • Delete Reason: The page documents a phenomenon inherently tied to illegal activity (copyright infringement and piracy). While it identifies some visual characteristics, it's debatable whether these constitute a distinct aesthetic. The described visual elements often result from technical limitations and lack of quality control in unauthorized products. All relevant images were merged to Shanzhai.
• Christian Girl Autumn:
  • Description: Page described a specific variation of the Autumn aesthetic, associated with certain fashion choices and activities.
  • Delete Reason: The page is largely redundant, as the visual and fashion elements are extensively covered in the VSCO page. The concept originated from a specific internet meme, which overshadows any distinct aesthetic qualities. The connection to Christianity is tenuous, and the page also overlaps significantly with Autumn, Cinnamon Girl, and Basic Girl aesthetics.
• 2000s Ringtone Mascot:
  • Description: Page described the marketing trend of using animated characters in the 2000s to promote mobile phone ringtones.
  • Delete Reason: Lacked a clear and broad aesthetic focus; too specific to a commercial/marketing trend, and the visual and musical elements were primarily functional to the advertisements, not part of a distinct aesthetic. Furthermore, the examples were too centered on a single company (Jamba!/Jamster). Instead, these videos should be used as examples of broader aesthetics, such as Crazy Frog in the Y2K Futurism page.
• Zef:
  • Description: A South African countercultural movement that reclaims elements of working-class culture, heavily associated with the band Die Antwoord.
  • Delete Reason: The page primarily documents the artistic persona and style of the band Die Antwoord, with limited evidence of a widespread and independently existing subculture. The scope of the topic is largely confined to the band's output, making its suitability as a standalone aesthetic page questionable. Given this limited scope and the ethical concerns surrounding Die Antwoord's controversies, deletion is the most responsible action.
• Neo-Breton Style:
  • Description: A regional architectural style from Brittany, France.
  • Delete Reason: Primarily an architectural style seen in homes, not a broader aesthetic; inaccurate interior design information.
• Art in the Chapels:
  • Description: An annual art exhibition event in Brittany, France, mischaracterized as an art movement.
  • Delete Reason: Primarily an art exhibition, not a distinct or unified aesthetic movement.
• Moe Swag:
  • Description: A meme trope juxtaposing real-life figures with moe anime characters.
  • Delete Reason: Narrow internet meme trope, not a broad aesthetic; more appropriate for Joke Aesthetics Wiki.
• Miami Metro:
  • Description: Page attempted to define an aesthetic based on Miami.
  • Delete Reason: Title is misleading, primarily referring to the literal location; lack of a cohesive aesthetic; redundancy with Cartelcore.
• Catholic Mexican Girl:
  • Description: Page documented a short-lived internet microtrend.
  • Delete Reason: Short-lived microtrend, limited lasting impact, potentially fabricated; ethnic stereotyping concerns. The aesthetic was briefly acknowledged in the Tradcath Coquette page.
• Wimmelbilderbuch:
  • Description: A style of illustration found in children's books used for teaching observation skills.
  • Delete Reason: Primarily an illustration style, not a broader aesthetic; lacks wider cultural or stylistic adoption. The only defining feature are intricate details, so it can overlap with other styles.
• Feísmo:
  • Description: An architectural and urban development problem specific to Galicia, Spain.
  • Delete Reason: Primarily documents a regional architectural/urban planning problem, not a distinct aesthetic style or art movement.
• Jewkid:
  • Description: Page described a nostalgic aesthetic centered around growing up Jewish in North America.
  • Delete Reason: The term "Jewkid" is not widely recognized and has potential for misinterpretation and offense. The page's scope was also narrow.
• Ero-Guro:
  • Description: Page documented the Ero-Guro art movement from Japan.
  • Delete Reason: Violates Fandom ToS, which prohibits content related to sex, fetishes, and other pornographic subjects, even if described in a non-explicit way.
• Britpop:
  • Description: The Britpop music genre and its associated culture.
  • Delete Reason: Folded over into "Cool Britannia" page, as the aesthetic elements were already covered there, and Britpop is primarily a music genre.
• Romcomcore:
  • Description: A fashion trend based on "Romcom" films from the 2000s.
  • Delete Reason: This page should be deleted because "Romcomcore" is primarily defined by its association with a film genre, and it lacks a clear and cohesive visual or stylistic identity beyond general early 2000s trends. The page also had not meet wiki standards for roughly 2 months since its creation.
• Artificial Nature:
  • Description: A page detailing nature portrayed in a man-made artificial manner.
  • Delete Reason: This page was deleted because it primarily explores the concept of artificiality in relation to nature, and lacks a clear and cohesive visual style. The page's focus is primarily conceptual and philosophical, which is not aligned with the wiki's standards regarding distinct visual aesthetics. Additionally, some users have alleged that the images on the gallery submitted in 2022 are ai-generated.
• Reefcore/Reefwave/Reefpunk/Marinepunk/Submarinepunk:
  • Description: Page centered around the imagery of tropical waters, psychedelic imagery, and non-conformity.
  • Delete Reason: The page relies on subjective interpretations and lacks clearly defined visual or stylistic elements. It does not establish a distinct aesthetic identity and largely appears to be a user-defined concept. Furthermore, the term "Reefwave" primarily refers to a specific water pump product, making its use as an aesthetic title inappropriate. Ideally, it would be moved to the Personal Aesthetics Wiki.
• Wetcore:
  • Description: Revolves around imagery of moisture in environments.
  • Delete Reason: The page describes an overly broad and non-distinct concept (water interaction with environments) rather than a cohesive aesthetic. Significant overlap exists with aesthetics like Goblincore and Naturecore. The inclusion of images of flooded areas can also be insensitive, considering the impact they have on affected communities.
• Waldorf:
  • Description: An educational philosophy.
  • Delete Reason: The described visual elements are a result of the philosophy, lacking independent aesthetic notability. Furthermore, the page contained inaccurate and misleading information; for example, falsely claiming that Waldorf is connected to Wicca ("Waldorf is the secular term for the aesthetic... Light Wicca.")
• Incelcore:
  • Description: A microgenre of music that expresses a worldview associated with the incel subculture, associated with artists like NEGATIVE XP.
  • Delete Reason: While "Incelcore" is a music genre with some musical characteristics, its primary focus is on expressing a misogynistic or self-hating ideology. It lacks a cohesive and independently developed visual or stylistic aesthetic. The main reason for deletion is its unsuitability as an aesthetic. If someone can prove otherwise and is willing to add more detail, the page will be reinstated.
• Melancholic Schoolgirl/2000s Japanese Schoolgirl Film:
  • Description: The page described an aesthetic based ofilms like "All About Lily Chou-Chou," "My Rainy Days," and "Nobody Knows."
  • Delete Reason: Lack of notability as a widely recognized aesthetic and the narrow scope of its subject matter. The original title, "Joshi Kosei" (meaning "school girl"), and the creator's non-Japanese background suggest a misunderstanding of the term's cultural context. The page's emphasis on specific films suggest that it's not not an independently existing style.
• Khrushchevka/Soviet Brutalism:
  • Description: A type of low-cost building that became widespread in the Soviet Union during housing crisis.
  • Delete Reason: Primarily a type of building that lacks aesthetic qualities, not a distinct aesthetic style. The use of the insensitive term "commie block" and the struggles of individuals who live in these places make it unsuitable for this wiki.
• Dank Meme Voyage:
  • Description: Vague and undefined
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic, nor meeting standards.
• Lilac Femme:
  • Description: A genre of GIFs focused on flowers, women, butterflies, and a purple color palette.
  • Delete Reason: Lacks sufficient depth or notability to warrant a standalone aesthetic article. The content primarily consists of visually similar PicMix GIFs, especially a violet color palette, suggesting a niche collection rather than a broad aesthetic. The reliance on a single user and platform for its origin further weakens its claims. Its visuals are also redundant to Glitter Graphics.
• Stans:
  • Description: Subculture of fandoms that are heavily devoted to a specific person or piece of media.
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic. Too broad, no visuals, varies among communities.
• Ironycore:
  • Description: Vague and undefined
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic
• PMAB:
  • Description: Women who think "I'm not like other girls" and degrade themselves or other girls to impress people
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic. Poorly developed joke, no visuals, doesn't meet basic page standards.
• ToonKid:
  • Description: Visuals seen in Brazilian party invite cards during the late 2000s and early 2010s
  • Delete Reason: The page featured private information like photos of real children and addresses, which is against Fandom's TOS.
• Eccentric:
  • Description: Vague and undefined
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic, the word "eccentric" is too vague to be a label of one.
• Whimsical Coquette:
  • Description: A mix of Coquette and other multiple aesthetics like Ethereal and Fairycore
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic and neither has information online.
• Pasilda Tech:
  • Description: A design style based on pasilda.com
  • Delete Reason: Corresponds with a specific website, not a broad aesthetic, and it's also redundant to Frutiger Aero.
• Rotcore:
  • Description: Visuals related to decay, rot, and abandonment of places and objects.
  • Delete Reason: Lack of notability, largely redundant to Liminal Space and Morute.
• Hopecore:
  • Description: Online trend based on spreading hope, positivity, and humanity.
  • Delete Reason: Similar to "Corecore," the trend lacks an unified visual style.
• MS Paint/Simplecore:
  • Description: Visuals created using MS Paint, focusing on low-quality or "bad" (as the page called it)
  • Delete Reason: These visuals reflect the tool's limitations, rather than a deliberate aesthetic. The history section focusing on Microsoft's tools is largely irrelevant to this description, and the page fails to acknowledge that skilled artists can create high-quality work with MS Paint.
• Nanopunk:
  • Description: An emerging subgenre of science fiction literature that focus on nanotechnology
  • Delete Reason: While Nanopunk is a recognized emerging literary genre, there is currently little to no evidence of a consistent or well-defined visual aesthetic. The page has remained underdeveloped since 2019 and primarily lists literary works. The related aesthetics listed already cover similar technological and futuristic themes (i.e. Biopunk, Cyberpunk, and Cyberprep).
• Carefree:
  • Description: Vague and undefined
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic
• Bastardcore:
  • Description: Loose thematic grouping of shock humor and edgy internet subculture tendencies
  • Delete Reason: The described "visuals" are inconsistent, the "fashion" is generic, and the listed "media," "music," and "fictional characters" are grouped by thematic content rather than a unifying aesthetic. The inclusion of potentially harmful or illegal "activities" as defining aspects is inappropriate for the wiki. Due to its heavy reliance on memes, it has been moved to the Joke Aesthetics Wiki.
• 2010s Kid:
  • Description: 2010s childhood nostalgia
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic
• Daycore:
  • Description: The opposite of Nightcore (slowed down and low-pitched)
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic
• Urban/Modern Primitive:
  • Description: A subculture centered around body modification practices and a related philosophy of self-expression and connection to perceived 'traditional' cultures.
  • Delete Reason: While these practices result in visual changes to the body, the focus is on the acts themselves and their subcultural meaning rather than a deliberately constructed and widely recognized visual or cultural aesthetic in the way most pages are.
• Gadgetpunk:
  • Description: A genre of Science Fiction centered around gadgets
  • Delete Reason: Not a recognized -punk literary genre or aesthetic. The term appears to originate from a single Twitter/X account, suggesting the term has not gained widespread attention. The described motifs and media examples largely overlap with existing aesthetics like Steampunk, Science Academia, 90s Cool, Cybervillain, and Salvagepunk, indicating redundancy.
• Cybergrunge (Not to be confused with Cyber Grunge):
  • Description: A combination of Cyberpunk with Grunge
  • Delete Reason: Lacks notability for a standalone age and lacks developed sections to establish a cohesive and distinct aesthetic. The combination risks being a superficial blending of tropes without a clear underlying cultural context or philosophy. The page's history also includes a misleading categorization of "Cybergrunge" as a music genre with a disparate list of artists.
• Disco Polo:
  • Description: A music genre from Poland similar to Eurodance
  • Delete Reason: While there are associated visual elements, these are largely derived from the music's popularity and promotional materials that draw heavily from existing aesthetics like Frutiger Metro, Cyberdelic and Y2K Futurism, rather than constituting a distinct and intentional aesthetic with its own set of principles. The section describing a subculture relied on an unreliable, satirical source and should not be considered.
• Minivan Rock:
  • Description: A music style inspired by alternative rock, popular from roughly 1997 to 2004
  • Delete Reason: Not a distinct aesthetic. While it includes a brief "Fashion" section, the described elements are largely borrowed from existing styles like Y2K, Grunge, and Nu-Metal. The primary focus of the page and the provided sources is on the musical characteristics of the genre, and the term itself appears to lack notability.
• Viennese Actionism:
  • Description: Page documented the Viennese Actionism art movement.
  • Delete Reason: Violates Fandom ToS, which prohibits content related to sex, graphic violence, bodily fluids/excrements, animal abuse, and illegal acts, even if described in a non-explicit way.
• Mall 2K:
  • Description: Interior design of shopping malls during the 2000s
  • Delete Reason: Lacks a clear and distinct definition as an aesthetic and significantly overlaps with the broader Y2K category and related aesthetics like Mallsoft and McBling. The listed 'key motifs' are not compelling indicators of a unique aesthetic movement, and inconsistencies in the image gallery further weaken the page's definition.
• Reggaetonero:
  • Description: Stereotypical fashion and lifestyle directly linked to Reggaeton music
  • Delete Reason: Not a distinct and independent aesthetic subculture. The described elements are closely tied to the marketing image of Reggaeton artists, without forming a unique aesthetic. Given Reggaeton's mainstream status, its general fanbase and associated style do not qualify as an aesthetic subculture on this wiki.
• Metalcore/Metallic Hardcore:
  • Description: A fusion music genre combining elements of Extreme Metal and Hardcore Punk
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic. The page lacked images and the 'Fashion' section describes generic casual wear associated with the music scene (skinny jeans, band t-shirts, skater shoes) rather than a distinct and well-defined visual aesthetic. It also has been underdeveloped since 2020.
• Girl-Next-Door:
  • Description: A female literary archetype and a very broad, generally feminine style
  • Delete Reason: Not a distinct and cohesive visual or cultural aesthetic. The described visuals and fashion lack specific defining characteristics, and the listed media and music are grouped by thematic association with the archetype rather than a unifying aesthetic style. Additionally, earlier revisions of the page conflated Larme Kei with no clear connection.
• LOLcore:
  • Description: A 2014 fashion microtrend focused on maximalist and silly fashion, in opposition with Normcore
  • Delete Reason: The term "LOLcore" lacks lasting notability as a recognized aesthetic and was likely a media fabrication. Even though it experienced a brief period of media attention around 2014 as a reaction to "Normcore," it did not develop into a persistent or widely adopted subculture or style. The page primarily relies on outdated journalism from that specific timeframe, indicating that the term did not gain sustained popularity or evolve into an enduring aesthetic.
• Goofcore:
  • Description: Vague and undefined, describes something similar to LOLcore
  • Delete Reason: Possible personal aesthetic, various pictures are unrelated. The page was possibly created by a troll and has traces of ChatGPT text.
• Miscellaneous Academia:
  • Description: Academia variant focused on studying niche interests
  • Delete Reason: The page lacks a coherent aesthetic identity and relies heavily on the personal interests and experiences of the author. The definition is vague, overly broad, and generic, encompassing a wide range of unrelated activities and visual elements. The page describes a casual approach to learning about niche subjects, rather than a distinct aesthetic with its own visual or thematic consistency. The listed activities and fashion choices are too general to define a specific aesthetic.
• Northern Irish Muralism:
  • Description: A political and commemorative art tradition from Northern Ireland
  • Delete Reason: Its primary function is political expression and historical commemoration tied to a specific regional context, rather than a broadly adopted aesthetic style. Therefore, it is not appropriately categorized as an aesthetic.
• Trashy Raver:
  • Description: Vague an undefined
  • Delete Reason: It fails to present a clear and cohesive definition of a distinct aesthetic. While referencing the late 1990s-mid 2000s and associating with rave culture, the listed visuals are a disparate collection of cultural artifacts rather than a unified style. The listed media is too broad. The music section contradicts the claimed 'rave-inspired' premise by primarily featuring industrial/nu-metal artists, with little clear connection to traditional rave music.)
• Thrasher:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on the Thrash Metal music genre
  • Delete Reason: It remained significantly underdeveloped since its creation in 2021, lacking a dedicated 'Visuals' section, containing no images in the gallery or infobox, and with the 'Fashion' section describing generic fan attire rather than a distinct aesthetic. The discussion of visual elements beyond album art is minimal.
• Aristocrat:
  • Description: Japanese fashion style inspired by the Gothic fashion and customs of the European Aristocracy
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic. "Aristocrat" in the context of Japanese fashion, as described on this page, primarily refers to 'Elegant Gothic Aristocrat' (EGA), a specific trademarked style created by the musician Mana. The page misrepresents this as a broader, independently existing aesthetic. While inspired by 19th-century European aristocracy and gothic elements, the style as described largely overlaps with existing aesthetics like Goth, Gothic Lolita, Romantic Goth, and Visual Kei.
• Stickerbomb:
  • Description: The accumulation of stickers
  • Delete Reason: While this page describes a recognizable visual element, it functions more as a motif than a distinct aesthetic with its own stylistic rules beyond that. Lacks defined key colors and focuses on application rather than a unique visual language. This motif could be discussed in related pages like Skater culture, Superflat Pop, and Shibuya Punk, but not as a standalone aesthetic.
• Bookstore Girl:
  • Description: A theme or character archetype centered around reading and bookstores
  • Delete Reason: More of a recurring motif within other aesthetics (Dark Academia, Comfy/Cozy, Autumn) rather than a distinct aesthetic in itself. The visual and fashion elements described largely overlap with existing aesthetics, and the concept lacks clear boundaries to be considered a separate and cohesive aesthetic.
• Breakcore:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on the music genre of Breakcore and its subgenre
  • Delete Reason: It has limited discussion of a cohesive or historically consistent associated visual aesthetic. While a recent association with a specific Glitchcore aesthetic exists, this is largely driven by social media trends and mislabeling and does not represent the genre's +30 year old history. Community consensus, as discussed on Reddit, indicates that breakcore lacks a unifying visual aesthetic.
• Dirty Girl:
  • Description: A trend on TikTok for people who oppose skin care routines and minimalist fashion
  • Delete Reason: Little to no evidence of being an existing trend other than news articles trying to promote it.
• EXEcore:
  • Description: Imagery associated with creepypastas with the suffix ".exe"
  • Delete Reason: Page lacks clear aesthetic definition and overlaps with Digital Horror. It has been moved to the Joke Aesthetics Wiki.
• Game Night:
  • Description: The activity of playing board/tabletop games with friends
  • Delete Reason: Primarily a description of a social activity, not a distinct aesthetic. The visuals are inherent to the activity itself and lack a separate, unified visual style. The page describes the ''activity'' of playing games and the social interaction surrounding it. The listed visuals (board games, dice, cards) are objects used in the activity, not elements of a distinct aesthetic.
• Gangstæxtemism:
  • Description: Design style used in 2000s Hip-Hop album covers
  • Delete Reason: This page describes a graphic design style primarily associated with a single company (Pen & Pixel) and lacks evidence of being a broader, independently recognized aesthetic. Note that if the page is expanded we can also discuss their influence.
• Glowwave:
  • Description: Things that glow in the dark like UV lights and Neons
  • Delete Reason: The visuals and images presented on this page are largely redundant with the Arcadecore page. While "Glowwave" attempts to encompass a broader concept of glowing light, the actual visual examples and motifs heavily overlap with the aesthetic of arcades and neon signs already documented in "Arcadecore." There is insufficient unique visual content or a distinct enough aesthetic to justify a separate page.
• Grifes:
  • Description: A supposed aesthetic related to designer brands and pricey materials
  • Delete Reason: The term 'Griffe' (see the entry on French Wikipedia) primarily refers to a brand or logo, particularly in fashion contexts. The page's usage as an aesthetic related to displays of wealth is questionable and not widely established.
• Groundcore:
  • Description: Zoomed-in objects laid on the ground seen from a bug's perspective.
  • Delete Reason: Lack of notability, narrowly defined, primarily a indiscriminate list of things found on the ground.
• Heatwave:
  • Description: Things related to heat, that are physically hot, especially glowing.
  • Delete Reason: Overly broad and lacks a cohesive aesthetic identity. The listed 'subgenres' are either established aesthetics or simple environmental descriptions, making this page redundant. Moreover, the creator of the page listed themselves as the creator, possibly making it personal.
• Japanese New Left:
  • Description: A Japanese radical movement that split from the "Old Left" of the Japanese Communist Party during the 1960s
  • Delete Reason: It describes a political movement, rather than an aesthetic with cohesive visuals.

• Joyride:
  • Description: Things that invoke a feeling of comfort and calmness while in a moving vehicle
  • Delete Reason: Primarily a description of an activity and its associated sensations, not an aesthetic. The visuals are largely tied to the setting of a car and the road and lack a separate, unified visual style. The page focuses on the ''experience'' of being in a moving vehicle, and the listed visuals (car interiors, traffic, landscapes) are inherent to that activity rather than forming a cohesive aesthetic. The "music" section also reinforces the lack of a specific style.
• Lil Girl:
  • Description: A feminine style that mixes elements of Kidcore and Softie
  • Delete Reason: It documented a poorly defined combination of other aesthetics (Kidcore, Softie, Babygirl), lacked a consistent visual representation (inconsistent gallery), and there is no evidence to support 'Lil Girl' as a recognized aesthetic term, which is typically used to describe young (prepubescent) girls. This is problematic because someone searching up that word will probably see pictures of underaged girls, not the described aesthetic.
• Monumentality:
  • Description: Big things that inspire wonder
  • Delete Reason: It conflates the general concept of "monumentality" with a distinct aesthetic, resulting in a disorganized and subjective collection of examples. For example, the gallery includes disparate elements (e.g. Ancient Egyptian pyramids, Bowser from Super Mario, planets, and CGI giant creatures). This concept could be revisited in a future article focused solely on "monumentality" as a thematic element in art and culture.
• Neo-Breton Style:
  • Description: An architectural style and home interior design that emerged in Brittany (France) during the 1960s
  • Delete Reason: It primarily describes "Neo-Breton Style" architecture. While it mentions interior design (noted as inaccurate on the English page), the core subject is architectural. The topic is more appropriately categorized under architecture or regional studies, not as a standalone aesthetic on this wiki.
• Party Animal:
  • Description: Things related to extreme partying in places like college campuses, clubs, and raves
  • Delete Reason: It represents a personality type (someone who really enjoys parties) rather than a cohesive aesthetic, and normalizes risky behavior.
• Post-Rock:
  • Description: A music subgenre of Experimental Rock
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic, it's a music genre primarily defined by its musical characteristics. It doesn't have strong aesthetic associations, unlike other pages about music genres, and the listed elements overlap with other aesthetics.
• R&B:
  • Description: A sub-urban music genre that combines elements of pop, soul, funk, hip-hop and electronic music, with neon Baddie visuals
  • Delete Reason: It does not establish a clear and distinct visual aesthetic separate from the music genre of the same name. The described "aesthetic" is largely redundant with the baddie aesthetic, as explicitly stated within the page itself. Furthermore, the page fails to account for the diverse visual styles associated with R&B music throughout its extensive history, instead focusing narrowly on contemporary trends already covered by other aesthetics.
• Rollerwave:
  • Description: A 70s nostalgia equivalent to Vaporwave, parodying it by focusing on the mundane aspects of life in the 1970s
  • Delete Reason: No sources on it being an actual aesthetic.
• Social Science Academia:
  • Description: A supposed Academia subgenre focusing on Social Sciences (philosophy, sociology, history, anthropology, etc.)
  • Delete Reason: It fails to define a cohesive aesthetic, mixing disparate concepts like Dark Academia and political activism without clear visual or thematic unity. It relies on subjective opinions and irrelevant historical analysis, lacking reliable sources. The absence of a gallery and the page's inability to establish distinct visual elements contribute to its lack of verifiability.
• Soviet Bloc School:
  • Description: A style used in building elementary and high schools in the former Soviet Bloc in Central and Eastern Europe
  • Delete Reason: It focuses on the architectural features and historical context of Soviet Bloc schools, and lacks a clear emphasis on a deliberate artistic or stylistic intent. There is also a lack of sources to confirm the claims on this page. The page is not meeting standards since February 2023, indicating abandonment.
• Stoner:
  • Description: People who consume Cannabis
  • Delete Reason: It focuses on the cultural phenomenon of cannabis use and its associated habits, with limited emphasis on a cohesive visual or stylistic aesthetic. The page also poses a risk of inadvertently glorifying drug use or perpetuating stereotypes about cannabis users. Much of the listed media and behaviors are not unique to a Stoner identity. The page can be remade if it focuses on a clear aesthetic and addresses these issues.
• Teenagers in the Woods:
  • Description: Horror trope where a group of friends end up in a haunted place, where an entity resides
  • Delete Reason: It describes a generic horror trope, rather than a broad aesthetic. It lacks unique visuals and overlaps with Cabincore and Horror. The gallery is problematic, containing images that are either irrelevant (e.g., teenagers in a gas station) or simple forests. Evidence of notability as a separate aesthetic is insufficient. Instead, I recommend a page on "Haunted Forests," as it is a more visually rich concept with a stronger cultural presence.
• Trenchcore:
  • Description: The romanticization of World War I
  • Delete Reason: The term "Trenchcore" does not appear to be a widely recognized aesthetic outside of this wiki. The page describes a thematic interest in a romanticized version of WWI rather than a distinct visual or stylistic aesthetic, which can be considered insensitive without nuance. The related media is too broad.
• 80s Cool:
  • Description: Action hero boom of the 1980s
  • Delete Reason: It's overly broad and redundant, fundamentally confusing a cultural decade with a distinct aesthetic. The 'visuals' describe general 1980s pop culture, fashion, and media (action heroes, arcade games, shoulder pads) rather than a unified stylistic movement. The extensive 'Media' section is simply a list of popular entertainment from the 1980s, which encompasses diverse and often contradictory aesthetics within the decade (e.g., Akira vs. Miami Vice).
• Agropeople:
  • Description: The stereotype of a Brazilian person who works in the agrobusiness sector
  • Delete Reason: It heavily relies on harmful stereotypes, generalizations, and judgmental language (e.g., looks more like a urban f*ckboy than a farmer'), which is unsuitable for neutral documentation. The page's focus on socioeconomic class, political alignment, and a self-admitted 'politico-ideological narrative' indicates it functions as a sociopolitical commentary rather than a cohesive aesthetic.
• Brazilian Pop Bar:
  • Description: Street bars from Brazilian cities/towns
  • Delete Reason: It describes a type of social gathering space and the activities that occur there, rather than a distinct visual or cultural aesthetic with unifying principles. The listed 'key motifs,' 'visuals,' and 'activities' are general elements found in many bars around the world and do not constitute a unique aesthetic style. The music is a vast collection of Brazilian music across different genres.
• Dark Gatsby:
  • Description: A version of the Roaring 20s focusing on the period's underground life
  • Delete Reason: It attempts to define "Dark Gatsby" as a standalone aesthetic diverging from the Roaring 20s, primarily based on a niche or personal interpretation of the era and the literary figure of Jay Gatsby from The Great Gatsby. The page's claims are not sufficiently supported by verifiable evidence and appear largely derived from media portrayals of the 1920s rather than a well-documented aesthetic movement.
• Dark Paradise:
  • Description: Images containing "serenity with a veil of darkness"
  • Delete Reason: This page is vaguely defined, describing "Dark Paradise" more as a mood than a distinct visual or cultural aesthetic with specific, recognizable elements. The key motifs are overly broad and could apply to numerous aesthetics. Furthermore, the term "Dark Paradise" is primarily associated with a specific song by Lana del Rey, and the page describes a mood and style heavily derived from that song rather than an independent aesthetic.
• Grime Art:
  • Description: A digital art style or technique characterized by the distortion and disfiguration of existing images through dripping effects, exaggerated features, and unnatural colors
  • Delete Reason: It functions more as a method of visual creation than a distinct aesthetic with its own encompassing cultural sensibility, values, or extension beyond digital art and a few music videos.
• Hi-NRG:
  • Description: A music genre of up-tempo Disco or Electronic Dance Music (EDM)
  • Delete Reason: Primarily a music genre with limited evidence of an associated visual aesthetic. The page focuses on its origins and musical characteristics, and any associated visuals largely overlap with Disco and Rave. Therefore, it may be more appropriate for a music-focused wiki.
• Hikecore:
  • Description: Things related to hiking
  • Delete Reason: This page miscategorizes an activity (hiking) as an aesthetic. The page's "key motifs" and "visuals" are narrowly defined to generic elements of nature and hiking trails, and its "Fashion" section explicitly lists functional outdoor equipment (e.g., hiking boots, coats, backpacks, knives, compass), not unique stylistic choices. It is also redundant to Adventurecore and Naturecore, and lacks sufficient unique characteristics or widespread notability to warrant a page.
• Internet Academia:
  • Description: A supposed Academia subgenre focusing on online studying/schooling
  • Delete Reason: It attempts to define an aesthetic based on the tools and activities associated with online learning, a temporary and functional context during the COVID-19 pandemic rather than a distinct visual or cultural style. The described visuals are generic and overlap with other pages. The page lacks a cohesive aesthetic identity beyond the circumstances of remote education and does not present unique elements that justify a standalone page or merging with other aesthetics.
• Kaiwai Kyoku:
  • Description: A VOCALOID/UTAU music microgenre
  • Delete Reason: While associated visuals (chibi pixel art, etc.) exist, they are tied to music videos and do not constitute a broader aesthetic adopted independently of the music. The content is more appropriate for a music 0r UTAU wiki.
• Nekketsu:
  • Description: A collection of Shonen tropes
  • Delete Reason: It misclassifies a manga/anime genre as a distinct aesthetic. It primarily describes narrative themes, character archetypes, and genre conventions (e.g., courage, perseverance, 'spiky hairstyles' for protagonists) rather than a cohesive visual or cultural aesthetic. Its 'Visuals' section refers mostly to fictional character designs, and its 'Media' list serves as a genre roll call, not evidence of aesthetic influence.
• Nightcore:
  • Description: Sped up and high-pitched remixes of EDM songs
  • Delete Reason: It misclassifies a musical technique as an aesthetic. While the genre is strongly associated with anime imagery online, this visual element is largely incidental, consisting of often uncredited or stolen fanart, rather than a original or unified visual style. The page itself notes criticism regarding 'low effort' and 'plagiarism with extra steps' due to art theft.
• PMC Ryodan:
  • Description: Groups of teenagers, from mostly anime spaces, in Russia and Ukraine who commit violent attacks
  • Delete Reason: Primarily based on recent media sensationalism surrounding isolated incidents in early 2023, rather than representing an organically developed or historically significant aesthetic or subculture.
• Rainy Day:
  • Description: Things related to rainy weather
  • Delete Reason: It describes a common weather theme and related experiences rather than a distinct visual or cultural aesthetic with its own unique elements/style. The described visuals, fashion, and activities are directly derived from rainy weather and do not form a separate aesthetic.
• Real Life Super Hero:
  • Description: Self explanatory
  • Delete Reason: It describes the RLSH movement, which is more accurately described as a hobby or subculture with some associated visual elements (costumes) rather than a distinct and broadly recognized aesthetic. The described "fashion" is primarily based on generic superhero tropes, and the "media" section includes largely unrelated examples. The page lacks a cohesive stylistic identity and does not meet the criteria for a standalone aesthetic on this wiki.
• True Crime:
  • Description: A genre of documentary based on real-world crimes
  • Delete Reason: It miscategorizes as an aesthetic. While the genre utilizes certain recurring visual elements (crime scene photos, mugshots, courtroom sketches), these are representational of the subject matter, not stylistic choices that make an aesthetic. The page acknowledges the genre's inherent problems, including sensationalism, victim exploitation, and the problematic subcultures (TCC, Columbiners), making its inclusion even more inappropriate.
• Neptunes 01:
  • Description: The production style of songs made by The Neptunes during the early-mid 2000s
  • Delete Reason: Only described musical aspects, completely lacked visuals, and was severely underdeveloped.
• 90s Extreme:
  • Description: The extreme and edgy attitudes seen in 90s youth culture and media
  • Delete Reason: Describes a general cultural moment and advertising phenomenon, failing to establish a coherent aesthetic, It is overly broad and redundant, primarily documenting a widespread 1990s marketing trend and cultural buzzword ('X-Treme') rather than a unique visual or stylistic movement. The 'key motifs' are generic, and the 'Visuals' and 'Media' sections are indiscriminate collections of 90s pop culture, failing to define a cohesive aesthetic identity.
• Y2K Attitude:
  • Description: The general cultural mindset and rebellious spirit prevalent during the Y2K era
  • Delete Reason: Overly broad and redundant, primarily describing a cultural mindset rather than a distinct visual or cultural style. The listed 'key motifs' are vague, and the extensive 'Media' section indiscriminately lists popular entertainment from the era without a clear unifying aesthetic.
• Slam Pop:
  • Description: A style of professional wrestling production used in the Golden Age and New Generation eras of World Wrestling Federation (WWF) during the 1980s
  • Delete Reason: This constitutes a style guide or branding specific to the professional wrestling industry rather than a distinct and broadly recognized aesthetic movement with wider cultural or artistic significance.
• Brutal Industrial:
  • Description: A style of professional wrestling production used in the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras of WWF during the 1990s and 2000s
  • Delete Reason: Not a distinct and broadly recognized aesthetic movement outside of the context professional wrestling. This aligns with concerns about the creator misrepresenting industry-specific style guides as broader aesthetics.
• Rage HD:
  • Description: A style of professional wrestling production that has been used by WWE since the late 2000s
  • Delete Reason: It presents visual trends in professional wrestling as a separate aesthetic. However, evidence suggests that this may be a misrepresentation of industry production styles, and the creator's interpretation has been contested.
• Levesque Silver:
  • Description: A recent visual and presentation style specific to WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) programming following a change in leadership
  • Delete Reason: This constitutes a style guide or branding for a particular sports entertainment company rather than a distinct and broadly recognized aesthetic movement with wider cultural or artistic significance. The term was also coined by the creator to describe this specific, recent trend within WWE.
• 80 Thousand:
  • Description: 1980s revival in the 2000s
  • Delete Reason: Not a distinct aesthetic that organically emerged in the 2000s. It functions more as a thematic category for media referencing the early to mid-1980s during that later period. The concept relies on a 20-year nostalgia cycle rather than defining a unique aesthetic with its own intrinsic stylistic and cultural elements. The term was also coined retrospectively.
• TGIF Crush:
  • Description: The interior design and visual style common to sitcoms that aired during the "TGIF" programming block on ABC in the 1980s and 1990s
  • Delete Reason: This represents a narrow focus on television set design and production choices for a specific programming block rather than a distinct and broadly recognized cultural aesthetic. The term was coined retrospectively by the creator.
• City Crush:
  • Description: The visual style and setting of late 1990s and early 2000s sitcoms set in New York City, particularly Friends
  • Delete Reason: This represents a narrow focus on television production design rather than a distinct and broadly recognized cultural aesthetic. The term was coined retrospectively by the creator, and the described visuals largely align with general urban settings and sitcom tropes of the era.
• The WB Crush:
  • Description: The visual style and recurring motifs found in teen drama television shows that aired on The WB network during the Y2K era
  • Delete Reason: This represents a narrow focus on television production design and themes common to a specific network's programming rather than a distinct and broadly recognized cultural aesthetic. The term was coined retrospectively by the creator.
• Total Afternoon Live:
  • Description: A set design and format of music video countdown television shows popular in the late 1990s and 2000s
  • Delete Reason: Not a distinct and cohesive aesthetic with broader cultural or artistic significance. The described visuals are specific to television production for this genre of programming. The creator's interpretation has been contested, and there is a lack of independent verification of this as a recognized aesthetic.
• Ultraviolet Crush:
  • Description: Music videos that prominently use violet and purple hues and specific settings (empty warehouses, alleyways) in the late 1980s and early 1990s, particularly within Graffiti Pop.
  • Delete Reason: This a common color grading technique and visual setting within existing aesthetics rather than a distinct movement with unique stylistic or cultural elements.
• VH1 Sepia Sky:
  • Description: A sepia color filter prevalent in the mid-1990s, often applied to videos within the Grunge aesthetic
  • Delete Reason: Its not constitute a distinct aesthetic movement with unique stylistic or cultural elements beyond the application of a visual filter to existing genres. The term was also coined retrospectively, and many listed examples don't strongly align with Grunge.
• The Box 96:
  • Description: Visual elements seen in some mid-1990s R&B music videos
  • Delete Reason: The term lacks evidence of widespread recognition or use outside the creator's work, failing to establish notability as a distinct aesthetic.
• MTV Green Sky:
  • Description: Music videos and film that prominently use green and yellow color grading, particularly prevalent during the late 1990s and 2000s within the broader Y2K era
  • Delete Reason: This is a common color grading technique rather than a distinct aesthetic movement with unique stylistic or cultural elements. The term was also coined retrospectively, and some listed examples are misidentified.
• MTV 2 Overcast:
  • Description: Music videos characterized by extreme desaturation and a grey color palette, prevalent in the early to mid-2000s.
  • Delete Reason: This is a common color grading technique, potentially influenced by or overlapping with existing aesthetics like Grunge, rather than a distinct aesthetic movement with unique stylistic or cultural elements.
• 7 HD:
  • Description: A common graphical trend in seventh-generation video games, characterized by brown and sepia color filters, strong directional shadows, and bloom effects, often referred to as "piss filter" within gaming communities
  • Delete Reason: This represents a technical limitation and stylistic preference of a specific gaming era rather than a distinct and broadly recognized aesthetic with its own cultural or artistic significance beyond the technological context.
• Lagenlook:
  • Description: The concept of layering clothing
  • Delete Reason: It describes a general fashion technique and a broad philosophy of individual expression rather than a distinct and well-defined visual or cultural aesthetic. The page lacks specific key motifs and colors, and the listed fashion items are broad categories found in various aesthetics.
• Toxiccore/Biohazard/Radioactive:
  • Description: Things related to danger, toxicity, and green objects glowing in the dark
  • Delete Reason: This page fails to establish a distinct aesthetic, being narrowly defined by a specific color palette (neon green and black) and generic warning motifs (biohazard, radioactive signs). This overly literal approach results in a page that describes a visual theme rather than a comprehensive aesthetic style. The term itself is prone to misinterpretation, as its 'key values' vaguely mention 'removal of toxicity,' which is a concept, not an aesthetic principle.
• Neo-Vikings:
  • Description: A mix of Ancient Norse culture with Science Fiction
  • Delete Reason: This page misclassifies a literary trope as a distinct aesthetic. Its visuals are largely a direct appropriation of historical/mythological imagery or specific media franchises (e.g., Marvel, Warhammer 40k), rather than forming a unique, cohesive aesthetic.
• Streetwear:
  • Description: A style of casual clothing, inspired by the Hip-Hop and Surf subcultures
  • Delete Reason: Too overtly broad to be an aesthetic. Some elements of it are also redundant to Urbancore.
• American Colonization:
  • Description: The historic period of colonization and exploration of the Americas
  • Delete Reason: It fundamentally misclassifies a extremely broad historical era (1492-1920) as a distinct aesthetic. The page primarily functions as a history lesson, detailing chronological events and historical concepts rather than focusing on cohesive visual elements. Its 'Aesthetics' section is vague and describes abstract feelings or general attire, rendering the concept of a single 'American Colonization' aesthetic incoherent and unsuitable for this wiki.
• Wehraboo:
  • Description: An internet subculture of individuals who express an excessive and often uncritical fascination with Nazi Germany's military during World War II
  • Delete Reason: This page misclassifies it as an aesthetic, primarily describing a problematic online behavior. The page contains inherently offensive and unencyclopedic content, including historical propaganda as 'music' and visuals directly tied to a genocidal regime. The page's creator has explicitly supported its deletion due to the impossibility of neutral documentation.
• Hood Film:
  • Description: A genre of film that center around the lifestyle of low-income African-American neighborhoods
  • Delete Reason: This page primarily describes a specific film genre and its narrative, thematic, and audio elements, not a distinct visual style. The page's 'Visuals' section mostly details film tropes and narrative content rather than consistent, adoptable aesthetic principles. While the genre has associated visual elements like streetwear and urban settings, these are not unique to 'Hood Film' as a standalone aesthetic and are often covered by other aesthetics.
• Blaxploitation:
  • Description: A genre of film popular in the 1970s that featured African-American actors
  • Delete Reason: The page had multiple, severe violations of wiki standards. This page is fundamentally misclassified as an aesthetic, as it primarily describes a film genre and its narrative tropes, not a distinct visual style. It features highly offensive and unencyclopedic language (e.g., 'Occasional N-word privileges' as a motif), showing a lack of sensitivity and editorial oversight. Its content is unsuitable and harmful for this wiki.

Misleading Pages

Pages in this category contained misinformation about an aesthetic, presenting in a way that does not reflect its original artistic intent. This include pages that:

• Atributes the name of an aesthetic to a completely different thing.
• Descriptions and/or images that don't reflect their stablished meaning and characteristics.
• Present information in a biased way, directing viewers to an author's personal perspective and values, distorting the public's perception of an aesthetic.

Examples include:

• Pop Kei:
  • Description: Colorful Harajuku Fashion
  • Delete Reason: The page incorrectly describes Pop Kei as a fashion style. The term in Japan refers more accurately to a particular aesthetic in graphic design, often used in rhythm games and J-core music, characterized by colorful anime visuals.

• Terrorwave:
  • Description: Fashion associated with terrorism and war
  • Delete Reason: Misleading presentation of "Terrorwave" as a fashion aesthetic rather than a subgenre of Politicalwave art utilizing terrorist imagery. The page's inclusion of artists associated with neo-Nazi ideologies is particularly problematic, as it risks being perceived as endorsement rather than neutral documentation. Problematic focus on fashion, motifs, and media contributes to inappropriate framing and harmful misinterpretations.
• Neo-Romanism:
  • Description: Vague and undefined
  • Delete Reason: Lack of notability and misinformation (inaccurate claim that it is a judicial system). It suffers from a severely disorganized structure and an overly broad scope, attempting to connect disparate and irrelevant elements such as a restaurant. The listed "related aesthetics," "brands," and "media" are often illogical and lack clear justification. The page fails to establish a coherent style and does not adequately address the connections between Roman revivalism and fascism.
• Happycore:
  • Description: An aesthetic based around spreading positivity
  • Delete Reason: It misattributes the name "Happycore" to motivational quotes, smiley faces, and things related to happiness, when, in reality, it's a music genre.
• Petcore:
  • Description: Things that are vaguely related to pets
  • Delete Reason: It describes "Petcore" as an aesthetic focused on imagery and themes related to pets, a topic that aligns with Single-Subject Aesthetics. However, the term lacks widespread notability as a recognized aesthetic, and primarily refers to a European recycling group. Furthermore, the content of this page is very poorly and vaguely written. As such, the page lacks sufficient substance and does not warrant merging with other pages.

Undeveloped

These pages were removed due to a lack of substantial content, insufficient evidence of being an established aesthetic, or reliance on plagiarized material.

Plagiarized Content

• Evidence of community adoption or recognition.

Examples include:

Pre-existing Media

Aesthetics based solely on pre-existing media, such as video games, TV shows, movies, franchises, or specific celebrities, are generally not permitted on this Wiki. These media often already incorporate elements of established aesthetics, rendering dedicated pages redundant. For example, "Harry Pottercore" would be considered invalid as it aligns with the existing Dark Academia aesthetic.

However, exceptions are made for aesthetics that have transcended their original fandoms and achieved broader cultural significance. Aesthetics like Morute, Drain, XO, Stargirl, Barbiecore, and Sanriocore, while originating from specific artists or franchises, have gained widespread popularity and are no longer limited to their initial fan bases. These aesthetics invite participation from individuals beyond their original fandoms.

• Beatlecore
• Wes Andersoncore
• Eren Yeager
• BTS members
• Genshincore
• Quandalecore
• Caseycore
• Elviscore
• WarriorsCatsCore
• Yoylecore
• Burtoncore
• Deppcore
• Parkiard
• Mimic
• Goombacore
• Wonyoungism
• Doomcore: The page was trying to describe an aesthetic based around DOOM Eternal rather than the music genre of the same name.
• Jojocore
• Brony
• Skibidicore
• Bayonetta (now covered in Office Siren)
• Blueycore
• Garfieldcore
• Disxcore: The page was about a line of merchandise by Discord. Not all names that end in "-core" are aesthetics.
• Skank Wave
• Annacore
• Quarkcore: Troll page
• P-headcore
• Sitnikovcore
• Pure Democracy
• Swan Princess
• R.I.P Known Strings Attached
• Aristiocat core
• Nintencore: Described the style of Nintendo franchises, not the established "Nintendocore" music genre.

• Motomami: Based on ROSALÍA's Motomami album; moved to Person-Created Aesthetics.
• Classic Minecraft
• The Eras Tour: Based on Taylor Swift's 2023-2024 concert tour "The Eras Tour", which has no distinct visuals.
• Bubble Goth: Primarily associated with a single artist (Kerli Koiv); moved to Person-Created Aesthetics.
• Trxsh: Based on the Trash Gang internet subculture; moved to Person-Created Aesthetics.

• Sam Raimi 02
• Sherlock Academia

Nations and Cultures

Pages documenting national or cultural aesthetics are permitted if they are specific, respectful, and avoid broad generalizations. To accurately represent the diversity of a nation, multiple pages should be created to address distinct eras, regions, or subcultures. For instance, a page titled "Japancore" that indiscriminately combines anime, rice paddies, samurai, bullet trains, and Shinto iconography would be considered overly broad and even disrespectful, especially if it includes generalizations about the Japanese people. However, pages focusing on specific aspects of Japanese visual culture, such as Otaku, Taisho Roman, and Kawaii, are acceptable as they describe aesthetics within specific contexts and avoid reducing Japan to a monolithic culture.

Aesthetics based on classical cultures, such as Hellenic, Ancient Egypt, and Arabian Nights, are permitted as they represent historical civilizations rather than the modern realities of those nations or geographical areas. These aesthetics are distinct from contemporary cultural expressions.

Pages documenting aesthetics based on romanticized or exaggerated cultural representations are allowed, provided they explicitly acknowledge their nature as such. This approach aims to avoid misrepresenting a culture as a single aesthetic and instead focuses on describing the specific context in which the aesthetic is observed. Examples include Romantic Italian, Pink Paris Design, and Romantic Chinese Village.

• Rural China:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on rural Chinese culture.
  • Delete Reason: Too broad and lacks specific context. Requires multiple pages for distinct eras, regions, or subcultures.
• Polish core/Traditional Polish:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on traditional Polish culture.
  • Delete Reason: Too broad and lacks specific context. Requires multiple pages for distinct eras, regions, or subcultures.
• Traditional Ukrainian:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on traditional Ukrainian culture.
  • Delete Reason: Too broad and lacks specific context. Requires multiple pages for distinct eras, regions, or subcultures.
• Traditional Romanian:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on traditional Romanian culture.
  • Delete Reason: Too broad and lacks specific context. Requires multiple pages for distinct eras, regions, or subcultures.
• Hispanicore:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on Hispanic cultures.
  • Delete Reason: Overly broad and disrespectful generalization of diverse cultures. Requires specific pages for distinct cultural expressions.
• Brazilcore/Modern Brazil:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on modern Brazilian culture and a TikTok microtrend.
  • Delete Reason: Too broad and lacks specific context. Requires multiple pages for distinct eras, regions, or subcultures. Also, the TikTok trend itself was guilty of culturally appropriating Brazilian culture, which could lead to further stereotyping.
• Traditional Korean:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on traditional Korean culture.
  • Delete Reason: Too broad and lacks specific context. Requires multiple pages for distinct eras, regions, or subcultures.
• Traditional Romani:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on traditional Romani culture.
  • Delete Reason: Too broad and potentially disrespectful generalization of a diverse culture. Requires specific pages for distinct cultural expressions.
• Europecore:
  • Description: A TikTok trend that romanticizes the concept of vacation in Europe.
  • Delete Reason: Redundant to Tomato Girl Summer; folded over into Wanderlust.
• Āryatva:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on Āryatva.
  • Delete Reason: Moved to Personal Aesthetics Wiki.
• Celtic/Neo-Celtic:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on modern Celtic cultures (e.g., Breton, Scottish, Irish, Manx, Welsh, Cornish).
  • Delete Reason: Inaccurate and conflated cultural realities with aesthetic interpretations. A page on Ancient Celtic culture would be allowed.
• American Core:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on American culture.
  • Delete Reason: Redundant; overlaps with Americana and Vintage Americana.
• Scotlandcore:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on Scottish culture.
  • Delete Reason: Too broad and lacks specific context. Requires multiple pages for distinct eras, regions, or subcultures.
• Scottish Highlands:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on the geographical location of the Scottish Highlands.
  • Delete Reason: Not a distinct aesthetic. The listed elements like gloomy weather, rocky coastlines, and mountains are characteristic of much of Atlantic Europe (including regions like Galicia, Brittany, and parts of Portugal), and the page includes content geared towards tourism.
• Long Island:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on the geographical location of Long Island, located in the state of New York.
  • Delete Reason: This page attempts to define a geographical region and its cultural identity as a distinct aesthetic, which is a problematic concept. The page lacks clear boundaries, relies on subjective interpretations, and overlaps significantly with existing aesthetics.
• New England/Yankeecore:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on New England culture.
  • Delete Reason: Lacks clear boundaries, relies on subjective interpretations, and has the potential for misrepresentation.
• Sertão:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on the culture of the Northeast region of Brazil.
  • Delete Reason: Not a distinct visual or cultural aesthetic with specific stylistic rules. The page is largely a collection of incomplete stubs and lacks a clear aesthetic focus, similar to the previously deleted 'New England,' 'Long Island,' and 'Scottish Highlands' pages.
• Españolada:
  • Description: Works that portray stereotypical "Spanish" elements in an exaggerated or exoticized manner.
  • Delete Reason: It documents the exaggerated portrayal of Spanish stereotypes, rooted in Francoist propaganda and carrying a pejorative connotation for reducing Spain's diverse cultures to clichés. The described elements are stereotypical representations, and documenting this concept risks reinforcing harmful misrepresentations of Spanish culture.
• American Revolution:
  • Description: A historical period of the United States
  • Delete Reason: Underdeveloped and its content is more historical than aesthetic in nature. However, it may be recreated if it is developed with a specific focus on the aesthetics of the American Revolution era, such as its fashion, visual arts, and material culture.
• American Tourist Traps:
  • Description: Popular touristic places in the United States
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic, but rather a collection of specific places, lacking a unifying visual or thematic style. It expressed subjective opinions. Additionally, the page had no images since 2022, further indicating its lack of development and relevance.
• Imperial Aztec:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on Aztec culture and history
  • Delete Reason: Heavy emphasis on historical information and insufficient detail regarding the visual and cultural aspects of the Aztec Empire. The page will need to be recreated with a focus on aesthetic elements and ensure original content, avoiding plagiarism.
• New Spanish Catholic Girl:
  • Description: A 2023 fashion microtrend based on stereotypes of upper-class Latin-American woman
  • Delete Reason: Ethnic stereotyping. This page documents a microtrend ('Catholic Mexican Girl') that appears to have been very short-lived, with evidence suggesting its popularity was largely confined to a brief period in August 2023. Given its fleeting nature and limited lasting impact, as well as its ties to media hype and potentially fabricated trends (as evidenced by articles in The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times), it does not meet the criteria for a significant aesthetic warranting a page in this wiki.
• Powwow Step:
  • Description: A fusion of Native American cultures with EDM and Rave visuals
  • Delete Reason: The page attempted to define an aesthetic based on powwows, which are complex and culturally significant Indigenous gatherings. This risks cultural appropriation and misrepresentation of sacred traditions by focusing on superficial "imagery" and "fashions" instead of their deeper cultural meanings. Also, A Tribe Called Red and their music is discussed within the Indigenous Futurisms page, making this page redundant.
• Australian Outback:
  • Description: A aesthetic based on Australian culture and the Outback region
  • Delete Reason: Too overtly broad and redundant. While it lists some related visual elements and cultural aspects, these are largely covered by broader aesthetics like Australiana and Desert. Some of the connections listed are tenuous (e.g. AC/DC) and the fashion section is largely practical.

Personal Aesthetics

Aesthetics created solely by an individual should be documented on the Personal Aesthetics Wiki. This Wiki focuses on documenting observed aesthetics found across various platforms, including real-life contexts and online spaces such as Pinterest, Tumblr, and Instagram. To establish notability, an aesthetic must have a demonstrable presence beyond this Wiki. If the name is not established, but the aesthetic features a clear color palette, origin, or style, a page is acceptable. The creator may propose a name but cannot claim authorship. Pages that resemble fictional works or original character (OC) creation will be removed. We document pre-existing aesthetics, not those invented for this Wiki.

Joke Pages

The Joke Aesthetics Wiki is the designated platform for humorous aesthetic pages. Existing joke pages on this Wiki may remain as "easter eggs" if they are well-established and not listed in the main aesthetics index. However, newly created joke aesthetic pages will be deleted or moved to the Joke Aesthetics Wiki.

• Cyber Glacier:
  • Description: A troll-created concept from 4chan attempting to deceive the r/frutigeraero subreddit, consisting of Y2K CGI
  • Delete Reason: Troll content, intended for deception. More appropriate for the Joke Aesthetics Wiki.
• Cargopunk:
  • Description: Anything related to the word "cargo"
  • Delete Reason: Humorous content, more appropriate for the Joke Aesthetics Wiki.
• Unliminal Space:
  • Description: A parody of Liminal Space
  • Delete Reason: Humorous content, more appropriate for the Joke Aesthetics Wiki.
• Simp:
  • Description: Slang term to refer to men who do everything the attention of women and put them on a higher pedestal
  • Delete Reason: Not an aesthetic, and the term carries a negative and derogatory baggage.
• Linux Ricing/UNIXcore:
  • Description: Initially a troll page with ableist language
  • Delete Reason: Troll content with offensive language. A serious page on Linux Ricing would be allowed.
• Dark Jock:
  • Description: Vague and undefined
  • Delete Reason: Lacks substance and clear visual representation.
• Silly:
  • Description: Meme involving "silly" cats
  • Delete Reason: Lacks substance and clear visual representation.
• Monkeycore:
  • Description: Memes involving on "returning to monkey"
  • Delete Reason: More appropriate for the Joke Aesthetics Wiki.
• Revcore:
  • Description: Meme format also known as "Stick Figure Violence"
  • Delete Reason: Describes a meme format rather than a broad aesthetic.
• Gamblecore:
  • Description: Meme that involves parodying gambling advertisements
  • Delete Reason: Redundant to Casino and more appropriate for Joke Aesthetics Wiki.
• Funwaacore:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on funwaa.com, a Hindi meme website
  • Delete Reason: Based on a meme website rather than a real aesthetic.
• Gen Alpha Brainrot:
  • Description: "Internet content deemed to be of low quality or value"
  • Delete Reason: Too vague and undefined to be a distinct aesthetic.
• So Retro:
  • Description: Poor imitations of pixel art and 8-bit games
  • Delete Reason: Parody of retro aesthetics, more appropriate for the Joke Aesthetics Wiki.
• Nice Guy:
  • Description: A satirical internet stereotype mocking men who use a "nice" persona to manipulate others
  • Delete Reason: Social commentary and satire, more appropriate for the Joke Aesthetics Wiki.
• Grażynacore:
  • Description: A meme-based parody of Polish "Facebook Mom" culture and Blingee/PicMix graphics
  • Delete Reason: Cultural satire and meme-based, more appropriate for the Joke Aesthetics Wiki.
• Edgy Meme:
  • Description: A broad and vague collection of dark, ironic, or cringe internet humor
  • Delete Reason: Lacks a cohesive aesthetic, overly broad, and more appropriate for the Joke Aesthetics Wiki. Furthermore, the format was extremely messy.
• Space Cowboy:
  • Description: An aesthetic drawing from the Space Western genre, but also incorporating Anarcho-Frontierist ideology and certain wojak memes that present a sense of superiority over "monkeys" (this can be interpreted as either a racist caricature or prehistoric humans)
  • Delete Reason: The uncritical presence of political propaganda and potentially racist content makes this page more appropriate for the Joke Aesthetics Wiki, if it is to be kept at all.
• Gachimuchi:
  • Description: An internet subculture based on parodic remixes of wrestling videos
  • Delete Reason: Primarily a meme phenomenon, not a distinct aesthetic. Aesthetics Wiki is not Know Your Meme. The visual presence is predominantly parodies and exaggerated memes, making it more appropriate for the Joke Aesthetics Wiki.
• Frutevil Aero:
  • Description: An aesthetic that juxtaposes Frutiger Aero with darker themes and colors
  • Delete Reason: Primarily a meme, more appropriate for the Joke Aesthetics Wiki.
• Fotonight Web:
  • Description: An aesthetic that parodies Frutiger Aero

  • Delete Reason: Lacks visual cohesiveness and it's primarily a joke.
• Crackhead:
  • Description: An aesthetic based on chaotic, clumsy, and lazy people

Single-Subject

Aesthetics should exhibit visual diversity. Our guidelines require at least five distinct motifs, with four not being direct copies of other aesthetics. For instance, Dark Academia includes books, history, mystery, higher education, and Gothic architecture, while "Rosecore," centered solely on roses, would be considered a single-subject aesthetic due to its limited scope. Single-subject aesthetics that achieve significant notability will be documented on the Single-Subject Aesthetics page.
