On the other hand, the 2014 Tumblr girl was super moody, dark colors, simple silhouettes she was a bit more of a loner.” The two styles are gaining significant traction thanks to content creators and fashionistas reviving their adolescent aesthetics. This aesthetic came up during the inception of Myspace around 2005 and integrates technology and social media into our everyday lives. “Indie sleaze was much more flamboyant neon colors, metallics, ostentatious displays of nightlife, erotic advertisements, and amateur-style flash photography. “I think of indie sleaze as 2014 Tumblr girl’s debaucherous older sister,” she tells Vogue. Trend cycle analyst Mandy Lee outlined the phenomenon in a viral TikTok. The return of the 2014 Tumblr girl’s style comes in tandem with the renewed appreciation for the indie sleazecore aesthetic, which became prominent in the early 2000s (think American Apparel ads). While she fell out of fashion in favor of new archetypes such as the cheerful VSCO girl and the rise of minimalist, athletic street style (the 2014 Tumblr girl didn’t wear biker shorts and leather blazers), she’s staging a comeback. In short, I was trying to be the perfect 2014 Tumblr girl, emulating our collective soft-grunge idols like Effy Stonem from Skins and Aria Montgomery from Pretty Little Liars. For concerts, my best friend, Jillian, and I draw black hearts on our cheeks, paying homage to Marina and the Diamonds’ “How to Be a Heartbreaker” lyric, “Wear your heart on your cheek / But never on your sleeve / Unless you want to taste defeat.” I wear purposefully ripped opaque tights and cherry red Dr. On weekends, I line my eyes with black winged liner, experimenting with Sharpie pens to make sure it doesn’t smudge. My drives to and from school are scored by The 1975, Halsey, the xx, Lorde, Two Door Cinema Club, Lana Del Rey, the Kooks, Haim, Twenty One Pilots, and the Arctic Monkeys-in other words, bands I found through Tumblr.
