Pastel Goth is a fashion style that is a result of mixing goth or grunge with the sweet pastel elements of the kawaii aesthetic, but also a touch of Bohemian chic.
History[]
Pastel Goth first emerged from groups on VK.com and later spread to Tumblr in the early 2010. It also spread in popularity in Japan for a brief period thanks to the DJ Juria Nakagawa, whose style has always been highly influenced by what is popular on Tumblr.
