Reason for Warning: The article mentions sexual motifs and gun violence.
This article is part of a series on Coquette
Trailer Park Princess combines elements of Americana, eroticism, poverty, horror, and femininity to create a feeling of nostalgia, unease, and deviancy.[1] It incorporates many elements of Camp and Kitsch; it is a total subversion of what is deemed to be good taste in contemporary American society, as it openly celebrates identities that are shamed in American society: the poor, drag queens, sex workers and the kink scene, and rural "uncultured" communities. The users who post this content tend to come from an upbringing[2] that is of this "aesthetic," and the elements are personal and looked upon with fondness, rather than as a means of shock value and antagonization.
Additionally, the community contains many Nymphets and has strong overlap with the Morute community. Like many other pre-suffix aesthetics, the aesthetic is highly individualized and bloggers would typically combine or emphasize more on different aesthetics.
