Additional Types of Aesthetics

Types of Aesthetics
Each aesthetic has a type, identified by a suffix or compound identifier.

For example, core aesthetics like “Cottagecore” have the suffix “-core.” Academias like “Light Academia” have the identifier, “Academia.”

Before we dive into the list, I’d like to briefly explain the types of aesthetics:

Academia
Academia aesthetics center around the themes and lifestyle of school, university, or academic settings including learning and studying.

The attire, lifestyle, and overall themes for Academia are classy, well-organized, prestigious, and often preppy. Some academias depict Greco-Roman classical elements, but this is not required.

Core
Core aesthetics or “Cores” represent the essential qualities of a specific concept or lifestyle and its corresponding mood(s). Most internet aesthetics fall under this type of aesthetic.

You can identify them by the -core suffix at the end.

Subculture
Subculture aesthetics focus primarily on the lifestyle-visuals elements of a subculture and make new derivatives of them.
