Reason for Warning: The article mentions sexual motifs and gun violence.
Trailer Park Princess combines elements of Americana, eroticism, poverty, and Coquette femininity to create a feeling of nostalgia, unease, and deviancy. 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[1] 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, although they are still different in many ways. There is also overlap with Bimbocore and McBling. Like many other pre-suffix aesthetics, the aesthetic is individualized and bloggers would typically combine or emphasize more on different aesthetics.
