Person-Created Aesthetics are aesthetics and trends that are heavily and primarily inspired by the creative output, public persona, or distinct style of a specific individual artist or figure. Unlike broader aesthetics that encompass a range of visual elements and cultural influences, these aesthetics are uniquely tied to and often named after a particular person and their work. The defining characteristics, key motifs, and values of these aesthetics are directly drawn from the individual's artistic expressions, fashion choices, lifestyle, or overall image.
While the wiki generally avoids creating pages for overly narrow or individually defined aesthetics, the growing popularity and cultural impact of aesthetics deeply intertwined with specific artists necessitate their documentation. This page serves to catalog notable aesthetics where the influence of a single person is the central and defining element. The aesthetics listed here have often gained traction online through dedicated fan communities and interpretations of the individual's work or style.
Aliyahcore[]
Aliyahcore is a contemporary aesthetic that emerged online, characterized by a blend of Y2K, alternative, and Harajuku-inspired styles. This aesthetic is associated with the online persona and fashion choices of Aliyah Bah, a content creator who gained attention for documenting her unique style on TikTok.
Characteristics include a base of Y2K-inspired clothing, the incorporation of alternative and Harajuku fashion influences, and specific accessories such as earmuffs, fishnet stockings (often worn as sleeves), garter belts, and platform boots (often trimmed with fur). The aesthetic emphasizes self-expression, creativity, and a confident, unapologetic approach to personal style. While Aliyahcore originated with a specific individual, it has been adopted by others on social media, who appreciate its expressive and unconventional nature.
Brat Summer[]
Brat Summer is a 2024 fashion and lifestyle microtrend inspired by Charli XCX's album "brat." The trend draws heavily on Y2K and Indie Sleaze fashion and embodies a carefree, bold attitude. The aesthetic is defined by edgy Y2K-inspired fashion. Common elements include crop tops, mini skirts, low-rise jeans, and bold accessories. The trend also encompasses a confident and unapologetic mindset. Charli XCX described the "Brat" persona as someone who is "a bit messy and loves to party," and "honest, blunt and a little bit volatile."
Bubble Goth[]
Bubble Goth is a Goth-inspired fashion style created by Estonian pop singer Kerli Koiv. Her aesthetic aims to merge beauty and creepiness, combining light and dark elements. Kerli developed this style after being labeled "Goth" following the release of her 2008 album Love is Dead, particularly due to the popularity of her song Walking on Air. A critic described her as "Bubblegum Goth," referencing her pop music with techno and rock influences. Kerli embraced this label, creating the Bubble Goth aesthetic. Her followers, known as Moon Children, wear three dots on their foreheads, symbolizing Kerli's motto: Integrity, Love, Unity (I.L.U). Bubble Goth music typically includes Kerli's own work, characterized by pop or techno with a darker, edgy feel.
The style incorporates elements of Cybergoth, such as gas masks, bullet belts, and headphones, alongside Romantic and Victorian Goth influences, including lacy corsets, platform boots, and dresses. These items are often in light colors, such as pastel pinks, blues, and white, with occasional black accents and colored highlights in hair and clothing. There are no strict restrictions on this style, though it leans towards lighter colors rather than the neon hues of Cybergoth. Makeup is typically bright, featuring silver, white, black, and rhinestones, but may also include smokey, romantic, or bolder colors.
It is important to note that Bubble Goth bears no connection to the original Goth/Batcave subculture.
Motomami[]
The Motomami aesthetic, derived from ROSALÍA's album of the same name, fuses elements of Y2K and Biker styles. This aesthetic has had a notable impact on fashion and music in Spanish-speaking social media, exploring themes of transformation and female empowerment through a mix of rebellious and feminine fashion, motorcycling imagery, and experimental music.
Wonyoungism[]
Wonyoungism is a specific aesthetic centered around the South-Korean Pop Idol Jang Wonyoung. This aesthetic focuses on mimicking the lifestyle, habits, and apparel of Wonyoung, who is considered to be a very disciplined and fashionable individual. Wonyoungism started on TikTok in early-to-mid 2023 in the form of aesthetic edits, vlogs, and advice/tip videos. It later spread to Pinterest and YouTube with the same content. This aesthetic is characterized by pink, hyper-feminine fashion and imagery, self-care, healthy eating, exercise, good grades, and motivating people to become their ideal version of themselves by either applying Wonyoung's own revered habits to their life routine or by using her as a figure of motivation. This aesthetic is similar to Pink Pilates Princess, That Girl, Dollette, Balletcore, Pink Parisian, and Romantic Academia. As the aesthetic is centered around an idol, this aesthetic also doubles as a media-based aesthetic.
Party Kei[]

Party Kei is a fashion style created by Canadian YouTuber Jillian Vessey (Pixielocks), inspired by Japanese street fashion. There is considerable confusion over what this style truly entails: its first stages as drawn out by Vessey were similar to both Larme and Cult Party Kei, with delicate clothes in pastel colors and motifs related to birthday parties. However, the style mutated in the following years: Vessey and her fanbase, the "Confetti Club", now wear louder garments from Western brands such as Lazy Oaf, with the previous party references becoming more overt and rainbows used as a common motif.
Since Vessey is not Japanese or a fluent speaker of the corresponding language, her use of the Kei suffix has been subject to controversy, as its most used for fashion styles and trends hailing from the specific Harajuku locale, while Party Kei fashion is now almost entirely made up of Western brands. Vessey and her fanbase are frequently targeted and discussed in gossip forums like lolcow.farms, where the style has been negatively criticized for its inconsistent aesthetic. Additionally, some people believe this aesthetic is "forced" because Vessey has been trying to promote it for a long time.
Zef[]
Reason for Warning: This section discusses homophobia, sexual abuse, and incest.
Zef is a South African countercultural movement originating in the late 2000s and popularized by the music group Die Antwoord, formed in 2008. The term "zef" comes from Afrikaans slang, meaning "white trash" or "common," initially used to describe customized Ford Zephyr cars associated with the white working-class in South Africa. Die Antwoord, whose members are Ninja and Yolandi Visser, self-identifies as "zef," describing it as an attitude of not caring what others think and having individual style.
The aesthetic embraces elements of working-class culture considered lowbrow or tacky, such as customized cars, gold chains, and DIY fashion. Key values include reclaiming stereotypes, an unapologetic attitude, individuality, and self-expression. Die Antwoord's music, a fusion of hip-hop and rave, and their visual style, characterized by bold graphics, unconventional hairstyles like mullets, and eerie contact lenses, are central to the Zef aesthetic. Their 2010 music video "Zef Side" gained international attention and exposed the style to a wider audience. Other artists like Jack Parow, also from the Bellville underground music scene where Zef began to solidify, have embraced Zef aesthetics in their music and fashion.
Zef, specifically the actions of Die Antwoord, is also associated with significant controversy surrounding the group. Die Antwoord has faced accusations of homophobia due to their use of slurs and actions. Furthermore, serious allegations of child abuse and sexual assault have been made against members Ninja and Yolandi Visser. These controversies have led to public backlash and a decline in their reputation. The group has also been criticized for alleged cultural appropriation, with some arguing they exploit working-class aesthetics and other South African cultural elements for commercial gain, despite their own backgrounds. Additionally, there is debate about whether Zef exists as a genuine subculture independent of Die Antwoord, with some suggesting it is largely a construct of the band's artistic persona.
Trxsh[]
Trxsh, also known as Trash, is an internet subculture heavily inspired by the Trash Gang collective, which began as a project in Slovenia in 2017. The aesthetic incorporates the sharp smiley face mask, devil references, dark streetwear, and urban and Japanese anime influences across fashion, music, editing, and design. Emerging as an international alternative movement from Trash Gang's YouTube music videos starting in 2017, Trxsh influenced the Soundcloud underground rap scene, and E-Boys/E-Girls/Sadbois.
The aesthetic's visuals blend Emo Rap, E-Boy, hip-hop, and trap metal elements with dark clothing, chains, tattoos, and inspiration from grunge and skater culture. Anime, particularly edits and AMVs featuring shows like My Hero Academia, Tokyo Ghoul, and Naruto, is a significant visual component, often depicting characters as stereotypical bad boys with black tattoos, a black-white-red color palette, and gold chains. Recurring motifs include black silhouettes with devil horns and the Trash Gang mask, alongside yellow and black hazard symbols.
Criticism of Trxsh, peaking around 2018-2020, included concerns about romanticizing depression and potential cultural appropriation through the use of Kanji. Beginning in 2021, Trash Gang faced criticism for commercialization, charging artists for video placement and shifting towards TikTok trends, leading to a perceived decline in the aesthetic's authenticity and community.

Goreweb[]
Reason for Warning: This aesthetic features fake blood and gore.
Goreweb is an aesthetic heavily centered around the visual identity associated with musical artist Ken Carson, particularly his A Great Chaos album. This style draws inspiration from Digital Horror, Creepypasta, and Weirdcore, often featuring crusty, low-resolution imagery reminiscent of mid-2000s internet aesthetics and deep-fried memes. It prominently utilizes fake gore, blood, and themes from web horror and general horror films, alongside specific visual motifs found in Ken Carson's promotional material and the work of associated artists like @agreatchaos and @nickspiders.
