Nuclear is an aesthetic that is based around the themes of nuclear power, nuclear weaponry, machines and more. It involves gas masks, hazardous items, hazmat suits, and lands in ruins.
The aesthetic is usually historical, specifically being based around the 1980s due to the large amount of nuclear power being built during the time as well as the ongoing cold war making nuclear warfare a constant fear. Modern nuclear aesthetic is more centered around urban exploration of abandoned nuclear sites, due to the end of the cold war and decline of nuclear power.
