McBling is an aesthetic that was popular from roughly 2003 to 2008, succeeding the Y2K aesthetic. It was coined through a Facebook page in 2016 made by Evan Collins. This aesthetic was one of pop culture materialism, consumerism, and 1970s-esque maximalism, such as:

• Expensive Juicy Couture clothes,
• Worship culture of mainstream pop stars
• Hollywood royalty who were popular at the time (such as Paris Hilton, Beyoncé, Britney Spears, etc)
• Many luxury brands who were popular at the time (such as Playboy, Murakami, Louis Vuitton, etc)
• Bedazzled flip phones
• Flip phones
• Trucker hats
• Large jeeps
• Jewelry and "bling"
• Websites like Myspace and Blingee

People often associate this aesthetic with the color pink (usually bright pink) as it was popularized by Paris Hilton during this time.

The McBling aesthetic began around 2003 with the start of the Iraq War and premiere of Paris Hilton's The Simple Life. It ended around 2008 with the Great Recession, Barack Obama's election, and the backlash against 2000s culture setting in.
