Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates An Internet aesthetic, also simply referred to as an aesthetic or microaesthetic, is a visual art style, sometimes accompanied by a fashion style, subculture, or music genre, that usually originates from the Internet or is popularized on it. Throughout the 2010s and 2020s, online aesthetics gained increasing popularity, specifically on social media platforms such as Tumblr, Pinterest, Instagram and TikTok, and often were used by people to express their individuality and creativity. They can also be used to create a sense of community and belonging among people who share the same interests. The term aesthetic has been described as being "totally divorced from its academic origins", and is commonly used as an adjective.[1]

Definition

Internet aesthetics are characterized and identifiable by their visual style. Sarah Spellings from Vogue stated,

Over time, "aesthetic" has evolved from an academic word and something utilized by artists and auteurs to something to categorize our own identities by. It can mean both personal style and a vague stand-in for beauty.[1]

Kaitlin Tiffany from The Atlantic stated:

At this point, the word aesthetic is totally divorced from its academic origins. While Tumblr users mainstreamed it years ago, many teenagers use aesthetic as an all-purpose adjective—"that's so aesthetic" as a shorthand for "that's so aesthetically pleasing to me." But in broader Internet parlance, it now means a collection of signifiers or, more precisely, a "vibe."[2]

There are five primary categories of internet aesthetic: space, core, wave, group/subculture, and academic.[3] Specific aesthetics use suffixes, such as -wave and -core, which, according to The Washington Post, originates from the word hardcore.[4][5][6] Other aesthetics come together under a central theme such as Space or Academia.

History

In 1735, German philosopher Alex Baumgarten derived the term "aesthetics" from the Greek word "aisthetike", establishing it as a field of study. The term "aesthetic" has evolved to reflect current trends in digital communication and multimedia art. Many Internet aesthetics have been credited with originating on Tumblr, including Dark academia, Cottagecore, Art Hoe,[7] Coquette/Nymphet,[8] and Weirdcore.[9] With the influence of new social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, however, internet aesthetics are being dominated by micro-trends such as mob wife and tomato girl summer.[10]

Aesthetics Wiki, a wiki hosted on Fandom, has frequently been cited for its large database of information on online aesthetics.[2][11][4] According to The Atlantic, the wiki gained a 9,974% increase in traffic during the 2020 pandemic due to chronic online participation and desires for self discovery.[12]

In 2022, Rebecca Jennings from Vox argued that many trends from TikTok fall under one trend, calling it "TikTok couture" and describing it as a "way to describe the coalescence of trends that materialize on TikTok, whether from teenagers experimenting with clothes they've drifted from their local charity shop, from older folks revisiting the subcultural styles of their youth, or from professional and amateur trend watchers combining aesthetic clues into a single theory of what's coming next", adding "with the help of the supercharged TikTok algorithm that blasts viral content to millions of users within hours or days, these videos shape what mainstream culture considers stylish, which therefore can affect what we choose to wear ourselves."[13]

In July 2022, Sarah Spellings from Vogue stated that there was a "rise of hyper-specific Internet aesthetics".[14]

Шаблон:Main Established as one of earliest aesthetics in the 2010s, vaporwave is an aesthetic that includes electronic music, visual art style, and memes. It is defined partly by its slowed-down, chopped and screwed samples of smooth jazz, elevator, R&B, and lounge music from the 1980s and 1990s. The surrounding subculture is sometimes associated with an ambiguous or satirical take on consumer capitalism and pop culture. Influential artists such as Daniel Lopatin and James Ferraro critique consumerism but in a less traditional sense, focusing more on abstract aspects of emotions and psychological beings.[15] These subcultures tend to be characterized by a nostalgic or surrealist engagement with the popular entertainment, technology and advertising of previous decades. Visually, it incorporates early Internet imagery, late 1990s web design, glitch art, anime, 3D-rendered objects, and cyberpunk tropes in its cover artwork and music videos.

Corecore

A product of youth culture in the 2020s, the corecore aesthetic was largely found on TikTok, where it juxtaposes various video clips while emotional music plays. Meant to evoke strong emotions, the corecore aesthetic juxtaposes imagery with its content made up of "seemingly unrelated clips" culled from a variety of sources including news footage, social media, films, livestreams, and memes, often overlaid on usually emotionally rousing, somber, or ambient music.Шаблон:Citation needed

Neo-Victorianism is an aesthetic movement that features an overt nostalgia for the Victorian period, generally in the context of the broader hipster subculture of the 1990s–2010s.[24] It is also likened to other "neos" (e.g. neoconservatism, neoliberalism), which do not simply look back to the past but also reiterate and replay it in more diverse and complicated ways.[25] This characteristic makes neo-Victorian art difficult to define conclusively.[26]

During a certain period, a new trend emerged in the fashion world, bringing with it a sense of whimsy and ethereal beauty. This trend incorporated more feminine and romantic styles into fashion, using soft pastel hues such as pink, peach, baby blue, lilac, and light neutral colors. Traditional ballet costumes were also used, including ballet flats, pointe shoes, legwarmers, ballerina skirts, leotards, and tights, as well as delicate accessories like ribbon chokers and ballet slipper-inspired shoes.
