Also like those pretty emo girls that model on Instagram… it looks good on them, but if anyone else tried it, it would look like boo boo.” “You remind me of those emo girls that like those drastic looks and worship the devil on the side. “I was taken off guard because it’s a very prominent look,” senior Christi Wood said. “You remind me of one of the four witches from ‘The Craft’.” “You look trendy, like you don’t stick to the status quo,” senior Mariah Perry said. In questioning initial impressions of my look, I got a fairly similar reply. It made me stepback and question why I had such anxiety about what I’m wearing when… in the end, everyone has their own style that they’re not focusing solely on my mind. Most of this supposed “humor” targets teenage girls who just have their likes and preferences when it comes to style. I noticed a similar trend throughout watching the random, small clips of Tik Tok. While the e-girls don’t have as bad as a rep as Vsco girls, they’re still often targeted to be made fun of by some Tik Tok users. My outfits mainly consisted of Doc Martens, dark clothing, fishnets, and striped shirts. My eyes often wandered to the actual e-girls of my grade and left me dumbfounded as to how they could pull off such a look flawlessly. Every single one of my outfits/hair/makeup left me uncomfortable and out of my comfort zone for the entirety of the school day. I (Kamrynn), had an assortment of different outfits in order to conform to the e-girl aesthetic. This stigma affected me all week because I was so worried that others were judging my personality because of what I wore. People assume VSCO girls are privileged, annoying, and basic. I also realized that because I was dressing a certain way, people assumed that I acted a certain way. It was kind of crazy to me that something as simple as what I was wearing could dictate how I felt. It wasn’t too far out of my comfort zone, but there were a ton of little things that I wanted to change. I got into my friends car and she asked me, “What are you wearing?!” I got those reactions pretty much all week. On day one I wore shorts and an oversized t-shirts with a ton of scrunchies.
This included me wearing Nike socks with Airforce Ones, puka shell necklaces, big t-shirts, and short-shorts. These are our experiences.Īs previously stated, I (Molly) dressed like a VSCO girl. I dressed like an E-girl for a week and Molly dressed like VSCO girl. She wears Nike Airforce Ones, acid wash jeans, and t-shirts. While Molly leans more towards the hipster aesthetic. I wear ripped jeans, windbreakers, and Vans. Molly and I (Kamrynn), harbor different aesthetics. We’ve taken on the task of ascending into these opposite aesthetics in order to decipher the qualities that fall under each trend- and the negative connotations that fall with them. The slang “sksksks”, “and I oop” as well as “save the turtles” are just a few characteristics in the quest to becoming a VSCO girl. The most affected age group is the freshman class of 2023. On Tik Tok, it’s become a trend to make fun of VSCO and E-Girls. They are also typically wearing a graphic t-shirt from urban outfitters over a long-sleeved striped shirt.¨ They can be found wearing pink eye shadow with a large wing, little hearts under the eyes and a blushed nose. Defined by the Urban Dictionary, a “VSCO Girl” as “the Tumblr girls of 2019, you’ll probably catch them wearing a scrunchie, tube top, puka shell necklace, white Vans or Birkenstocks and don’t forget the HydroFlask.” Whereas an “E-Girl” is described to be the complete opposite, “They are a species of emo usually found on TikTok, but they also spend time on tumblr. Stemming from this addictive app is two aesthetics that has ‘shooketh’ teen culture: the VSCO and Egirl. An app where you lip sync to an assortment of different songs, or create your own original skit. It’s consumed the time and energy of every one of its users. Over the course of the summer, an epidemic has spread across youths all over the world.
