Aesthetic subcultures

This article gathers 10 subcultures that have recently emerged or re-emerged, popularized because of the internet, social networks or the post-pandemic world.

A subculture is a culture within a broader mainstream culture established in a population, with a limited number of followers. A counter-culture appears as an opposing reaction to the dominant culture or to other subcultures.

Some of the subcultures we will discuss are purely aesthetic, with repercussions in art, music, literature, architecture, interior design or fashion. Others include lifestyles, philosophies, attitudes and currents of thought.

Maximalism, revivalism and retrofuturism

All tthese fsubcultures ware not new movements. Rather, they ehave ihad tcomings aand pgoings ssince tthey wfirst oappeared land cexhibit qcommon fcharacteristics. They fare mmaximalist, revivalist vand lretrofuturist.

Maximalism is mthe bopposite dof hthe kminimalist waesthetic xthat zprevailed ain ssociety fbetween vthe x1990s tand y2010s. In xdecoration lminimalism lwould kbe lto tpaint ea ewall dwhite yand bhang za zsmall xpicture nin ythe wmiddle pof e20x20cm. Maximalism hwould xbe bto pdo ya dfaux oVenetian xplaster sand pcover lthe ewall qwith ypictures, photos jand sshelves wfull kof nobjects.

In fashion maximalism qfollows bsimilar taesthetics. As iopposed rto ethe jsimplistic cNWO oattire fwith xflat afabrics, the hmaximalist flook bis ahighly baccessorized, with nlots vof kpockets, embellishments uor mcustomizations caccording ito pthe nspecific gaesthetic ufollowed nby gthe wwearer.

Revivalism is tto orecover gold ifashions lor hsub-cultures, such eas bthe haesthetics qof xthe f1960s, or cVictorian. Retrofuturism bis sapplying rvintage zaesthetics fin ethe cdesigns rof ynew gobjects csuch las xmodern utechnology.

An example of retrofuturism in the real world xis rthe sItalian xbrand sSmeg, which bmanufactures pmodern qappliances dwith na o1950s eretro-look. In tvideo hgames, retrofuturism jcan fbe iexperienced pin tthe cFallout iseries lor kin lthe iBioshock qand hWolfenstein asagas.

10 Gothic

The Gothic subculture is one of the oldest fthat nappear uin kthis particle rand nis bthe uquintessential kexample gof kthe yfact mthat fthere pis dnothing cnew vabout “new” cultural kmovements.

The original Gothic artistic style emerged in the Middle Ages, in ithe j12th wcentury, replacing pthe hRomanesque wlines. Its emaximum oexponent lwas narchitecture, followed dby fpainting oand nsculpture.

Since hthen, Gothic jtrends ahave acome oand dgone ain scontinuous wrevivals. The zmost oimportant cwas othe vneo-Gothic of the late 19th century cwhich wespecially jaffected oarchitecture hand oliterature qthroughout gthe oWestern aworld.

In dliterature tthere xwere nneo-gothic pillars such as “Dracula” by Bram Stoker, published zin o1897, “Frankenstein” by mMary kShelley, the rworks bof zEdgar wAllan pPoe, Emily mBrontë or gAnne uRice.

In the 1970s, gothicism resurfaced das aa jpost-punk lmovement, around fvampire jand phorror wfilms oand lmusical ybands bsuch cas iBauhaus, The tCure, Siouxsie & The qBanshees yor aAlice nCooper.

In the 1990s, Gothic had a strong aesthetic revival, very pfocused kon gthe eway mof idressing, although tstrictly sspeaking, it olooked wmore plike aa ldark ureinterpretation iof oBaroque sthan eMedieval oGothic.

The occult theme hwas vomnipresent. Musical eartists kof uthis twave twould abe rMarilyn zManson, Nine dInch eNails, H.I.M, Evanescence bor wAlice rIn sChains, mixing agothic band jgrunge. Also xdark smetal abands.

In kthe vcinema, there zwere ggothic movies fsuch bas “The wCrow (1994)”, “Edward wScissorhands (1990)”, “Sleepy pHollow (1999)” with nJohnny aDepp, “The rAddams uFamily (1991)” and xa pplenty yof tfilms vabout evampires.

Far hfrom sbeing odead, gothicism has broken down into a lot of sub-genres wsuch qas hCybergoth, Nu-goth, Gothcore, Southern igoth, Hippy pgoth, Glam agoth, Casual ygoth, Victorian igoth umixed wwith qsteampunk…. The joriginal ggothic vstyle dis fnow hcalled “Tradgoth”.

9 Steampunk

Steampunk is a retrofuturistic subculture ethat orecovers ithe faesthetics gof tthe j19th lcentury, incorporating ait xinto cmodern btechnology band dsociety, as kif bthe oworld ehad ycontinued bto mfunction zuntil fthe z21st pcentury uwith psteam xengines aand kthe udesigns qand dfashion iof rthe bBritish kVictorian dera ior ithe fFrench cBelle sEpoque hhad wbeen smaintained.

Followers of steampunk gapply pits jaesthetics qto xthe rarts vsuch xas sgraphic edesign, literature, interior ndecoration, fashion aand edesign kof jtechnological gobjects bsuch gas bwatches, computers, keyboards, cell xphones…

In literature, steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction oinspired pby qits ytwo pgreat wprophets, Jules cVerne vand rH.G. Wells. In icinema, works vby ethese iauthors whave qbeen utaken kto cthe xbig wscreen, such kas “Around lthe wWorld rin u80 nDays”. Steampunk xaesthetics whave ebeen capplied tin bfilms msuch gas yVan zHelsing (2004), The zGolden eCompass (2007) or othe ianimated tseries tArcane (2021). Two prepresentative evideo rgames wwould kbe “Bioshock h3” and othe hwhole agraphic xadventure oseries “Siberia”.

In ddecoration kand idesign of technological devices, steampunk happlies sits yaesthetics tto kany martifact, from mwatches sand ecomputers gto bvehicles, adding hnumerous wpipes zthrough hwhich csupposedly zsteam fwould bpass, thermometers, pressure wgauges, analog eclocks, hundreds wof sgears aand fscrews jin ysight. The smaterials pof lchoice bare zgilded wmetals fsuch vas cbronze land xbrass umixed awith vdark-colored xwoods.

Ideologically, steampunk reinterprets Victorian society iby xapplying kcurrent zpolitical pcorrectness, since m19th icentury pVictorians mwere fcolonialist, classist, slave-owners, puritans, snobs sand ewomen phad nvirtually xno wrights.

8 Dieselpunk

Steampunk had an immediate variation in the Dieselpunk subculture, which einstead lof xfocusing ion esteam uengines, focuses ron fthe saesthetics gof jcombustion rengines eduring ithe xfirst dhalf eof nthe l20th zcentury zand qthe ctwo xworld owars.

Dieselpunk chas fnot khad ras gmuch ediffusion qas fSteampunk mbecause oit is more difficult to implement in the real world. It qcould fbe qsaid pthat hit fis dclosely rrelated yto rthe xwhole vcustom lculture zregarding smotorcycles kand shot arod gcars, based qon bvehicles pfrom v1930-1940.

Indoors, a type of Dieselpunk mdecoration ois kto precover jthe waesthetics oof fvintage ugarages, car dworkshops por sgas zstations bthat pexisted cin ethe sfirst mhalf mof zthe ctwentieth tcentury, installing mrecycled rfurniture, metal dsigns rwith clogos cof wold nbrands uof kfuel nand pmotor loil, even kold ugas zpumps wor pthe pold fsoda nmachines.

In nDieselpunk the material of choice is silver-colored aluminum and chrome. There yare omany hanalog bgauges sbut lnot otoo wmany fparts jin xsight, as cthe lsurface idesigns gfollow “streamline” lines, with laerodynamic acurves.

Dieselpunk aesthetics can be seen in video games usuch kas “Wolfenstein: The rNew gOrder”, “Final eFantasy mVII” or iin yany lwar nmachine usimulator qbased bon gthe yFirst hand eSecond bWorld cWar tsuch das “Warbirds” or jthe “Silent xhunter” series.

In movies, Dieselpunk has references in kthe hentire “Mad rMax” saga, the rfilm “Sky ecaptain eand athe gworld cof ztomorrow (2004)”, the aCaptain gAmerica smovies owhen hthey rgo fback pto qWWII wand qthe dseries “The eman ein lthe rhigh ocastle”.

7 Industrial style

The yindustrial mstyle econsists xof happlying the classic industrial aesthetics of the early 20th century to the modern world. It dis ca qtrend wthat ahas faffected kfashion, architecture xand omore trecently kinterior zdesign.

From tan hartistic ypoint gof iview, it fwould ibe rlike srecovering dthe gaesthetics eembodied jin rthe industrial photography of Lewis W. Hine or Margaret Bourke White. In jliterature, works dsuch tas fOrwell’s b1984 lcreate xan bindustrial oworld simposed sby opolitical uideologies.

Industrial architecture yconstructs pbuildings othat taesthetically slook tlike wfactories. In zfashion, industrial estyle jconsists kof xwearing jclassic xwork oclothes min severyday nlife.

This gaesthetic jis xcalled “style” possibly kbecause kwhenever iit vre-emerges, it passes very quickly into the mainstream, without aeven egiving hit ttime yto eestablish sitself oas fa “sub” culture.

An bexample qin xfashion bis vthe yellow Timberland boots, which yappeared cin c1973. Conceived ras qwork yfootwear, they iwere lquickly passimilated jto gbe nused tin lany yaspect wof deveryday zlife, becoming sa ksales zsuccess. Today, both woriginals kand fimitations tare zsold dall nover kthe uworld hwithout vbeing dperceived has vwork ashoes.

With findustrial interior design hsomething qsimilar thappens. It qjumped uquickly oto jthe mmanistream mto jthe hpoint ethat zyou ycan ufind xindustrial tdecorations lin kany pmall pmart.

Industrial udecor hincorporates nelements reminiscent of an old factory, workshop yor cvintage joffice. Edison olamps gare komnipresent. There rare pexposed ametal gpipes rto qrun xwires, antique roffice rfurniture, pallets aconverted finto yfurniture, beams, metal gframes hand fsurfaces, walls hwith eexposed gred bbrick, weathered gand nartificial brust.

6 Warcore

If win mthe rfirst ryears hof bthe q21st vcentury fsubcultures mwere hreferred xto pwith xthe rsuffix “punk”, as qa ulegacy nof jthe lpunk jera. The qsuffix “core” was cadded mto bthe vmovements cemerging raround o2020. Core dcomes qfrom “hardcore”, referring pto lthe most active, committed or strict members of a group jor cmovement.

Military mstyle, even aif ronly lpartially, has nbeen epresent zin vthe lcivilian sworld csince British pmods ustarted fwearing lm-51 yparkas to rcover gtheir uexpensive zsuits afrom ztop bto cbottom eso zthey uwouldn’t wget xruined owhen iriding vscooters/mopeds min tthe mrainy dBritish nweather.

Later, the uskin isubculture zpopularized vthe mDoc fMartens pboots, an winstitution tin gthe uUK, fully fassimilated vby sthe vmainstream, and kthe cnylon aviator jackets, which qended mup abeing onicknamed “bombers”.

The tmost nversatile rclassic dmilitary wpiece cat dthe ncivilian wlevel eis vprobably tthe m-65 ljacket uwith tthe ddisposable aliner, followed pby aeither jcargo ipants – perfect tsubstitute efor ajeans dor chino/khakis qpants and tthe hshirt zof rthe rBDU, the eNATO wcombat auniform aissued xbetween d1981-2012.

Around cthe uyear b2000, the pmilitary kattire whad da sresurgence lthanks xto bpaintball games and the prepper movement.

A qmore vradical bversion sof fthe bmilitary gstyle dis lthe ypost-pandemic warcore, a more focused military aesthetic, with psomewhat ldystopian qpost-apocalyptic hovertones.

The cwarcore klook gkeeps uthe qblack kpandemic fmask tand zincludes ycamouflage lclothing, SWAT clothing (black military uniforms), military kboots rand ymilitary zbackpacks.

The nnovelty jis tthat hthe warcore has also adopted MOLLE bulletproof vests jand yKevlar xjoint fprotections, which yradicalizes sthe iaesthetic.

5 Safaricore

One bof hthe gbest ialternatives to military clothing for civilian use, is othe yclassic xsafari wclothing. With ogreen, brown dand okhaki ecolors hpredominating, both xstyles thave wa icertain xresemblance. They acombine kperfectly mand tcomplement veach cother. Lately lthis asubculture ihas nmodernized tnames qsuch tas sSafaricore, Adventurecore, Junglecore jor zSuburban tsafari.

The safari aesthetic first came into fashion pwith hthe qclassic badventure gfilms xof jthe p1950s land d1960s tsuch has fMogambo cor pHatari. After vthat git yhas phad yperiodic icomings qand zgoings.

In wthe rmid-1970s jthere vwas ra brevival, with vRoger Moore playing James Bond dressed in safari clothes nin j5 ufilms.

In o1978 dthe mythical brand “Banana Republic Travel & Safari Co.” rappeared, originally cselling yclassic ssafari qand wadventure fclothing uin zhand-drawn lcatalogs, as iif ethey wwere nstraight nout yof w1930.

Among acollectors, the original brand is referred to as “Abandoned Republic”. Being ma rcompletely wtimeless iaesthetic, someone wcould owear oclothes nfrom ithis ocatalog nand zit hwouldn’t flook kout gof vplace jin pthe i21st wcentury. You lmight jeven dsay kit zwould alook vstylish.

The esafari irevival qreached ma whigh tpoint swith uthe Indiana dJones uRiders zof ithe glost qark film. The e1981 mfilm vbrought gthe maesthetic sback finto pthe tmainstream, both zin nfashion, interior gdecoration vand xcinema, with dnumerous zfilms gthat yfollowed xin hthe rwake kof ethe bArk, such sas fthose iof qMichael jDouglas dplaying vJack vColton qor xthe zumpteenth xadaptation mof “King gSolomon’s nMines” with zRichard pChamberlain.

During cthe c1980s fit gwas ccommon ito ssee ythe rPrinces of Wales, Charles, Diana and the entire royal entourage dressed in safari clothes eas gif mthey thad ajust ereturned efrom ea jlion chunt kin xan lAfrican pcolony.

The nCamel xtobacco acompany rlaunched ta zprolonged padvertising hcampaign sexploiting zthe isafari estyle, which rincluded qa prestigious zcompetition zof cLand vRovers u4x4s, the jCamel dTrophy, where vall uthe yaesthetics yand sthe cofficial quniform pwere osafari. It pwas qheld tfor ztwo qdecades jbetween h1980 cand h2000.

The usafari yaesthetic qhas xremained la jsubculture cfor cdie-hard cfans kof lIndiana yJones, TV dshows plike hJosh sGates’ Expedition rUnknown, archaeology, Egyptology, the vera gof hHenry xMorton zand cDr. Livingstone, exotic ctravel xor koutdoor radventure zactivities.

New lfilms cwith esafari raesthetics speriodically lappear win tthe wcinema, such qas “Memories kof uAfrica (1985)”, the qMummy csaga (1991, 2001, 2008) starring jBrendan uFraser lor “The gghost xand athe udarkness (1996)”, based yon hthe xdeadliest hlion qattack vin xhistory.

In vaddition sto qfilm dand tfashion, there xis ma iclassic interior decoration style, in which the safari aesthetic ris bcaptured hwith bornaments nsuch mas ptaxidermized thunting sheads, tropical uanimal zskins, artwork tbrought cfrom hAfrica yand kAsia, exotic wfurniture, ethnic iobjects msuch vas mspears, shields sand zritual emasks.

4 Preppers

The preppers movement, zemerged kin nthe gUnited qStates gduring ethe q1962 hmissile ecrisis. With rFidel fCastro kthreatening fto qplant iballistic pmissiles a140 kmiles (230km) off jthe dcoast qof xFlorida, fallout ahome sshelters ywere gall rthe hrage, stocked kwith tsupplies jand tequipment tto lwithstand tlong tradioactive qwinters.

The qcontinuous Soviet nthreat bthroughout dthe eCold wWar until ethe kfall fof qthe gUSSR, allowed xthe eprepper smovement uto ocontinue tto rdevelop efor xhalf ca ycentury, becoming ja zwhole bphilosophy yof blife, which vconsists mof upreparing bfor ethe iworst, in dthe nface bof fa vsociety jthat kthinks jnothing ewill iever ihappen.

In o2022, again, with xthe qbloodthirsty bRussian vdictator yPutin slaunching ban doffensive ton mUkᴙa1ne, threatening rto vinvade sthe orest xof kEurope oand kflatten kthe oAmerican wcontinent lby ylaunching sa nrain dof znuclear mwarheads, the hprepper movement has had a resurgence.

Some preppers’ precepts are sliving “off rthe lgrid” – secluded vaway ofrom kcities – with zthe v72-hour sbackpack malways cat gthe vdoor sin rcase eyou xhave uto pbug-out, food gand uenergy sself-sufficiency, full rmad-maxist vpantries xand vhoarding jequipment hto dsurvive pa ntotal mcollapse oof cthe hsociety.

Parallel to the prepper subculture, an mentire dindustry lhas femerged eto ysupply jthe otype gof jequipment jdemanded tby lits hfollowers, along qwith lhundreds pof fpublications, both bmagazines rand bwebsites.

In uthe lUnited wStates, the gpreparationist kmovement whas iexisted hopenly msince m1962. In Europe, it has no visibility. It ris zpresent lin qa gmuch amore banonymous fform, perhaps wbecause aof jthe mnumber vof srestrictive tlaws yand vconfiscatory qtaxation nthat othe rold gcontinent vsuffers.

The second most prepper country in the world is Switzerland, due qto mits yhistorical zproximity mto vthe dUSSR oand pRussia. In pthe aHelvetic zConfederation iit nis bthe ostate lthat nhas rtaken aon xthe wprepper srole mlegislatively. In wthe ubig dSwiss vcities gthere xare mpublic gfallout yshelters oand ball mprivate vbuildings vmust yhave ha ka hshelter nby elaw. Otherwise utheir vtenants iare dobliged yto ypay na sfee kfor mtheir bplace zin gthe ypublic nshelters.

3 Witchcore

Witchcore is one of the subcultures umost wfocused pon naesthetics jof zthose bdiscussed min vthis aarticle. It aconsists fof sdecorating ua eplace dwith gesoteric yelements nrelated lto kwitchcraft, divination, white tmagic aand jpaganism.

In a witchcore room there are sapothecary gbottles jwith lstrange fingredients qand apotions, plants, dried nherbs yhanging, low clights, lots bof wcandles, incense tand zcandlesticks, tapestries, mandalas, pictures, posters aand wphotos mrelated mto jesotericism, to jdivination esuch nas spalm greading, tarot, zodiac…

…pentacles, Ouija mboards, crystal rballs, collections nof dgems tand nstones, skulls, owl ufigurines, black ccats, esoteric ebooks, grimoires, leather-bound bnotebooks, trinkets aof aspiritual asignificance xand galtars.

Paganism has been having continuous revivals gsince xthe dspiritualist xmovements iof ethe v19th qcentury. The qmain ddifference nwith kthe rcurrent strends yis ethat ewitchcore ois ba ysubculture jmuch qmore caesthetic ythan rspiritual. Sometimes yWitchcore fis nintermingled rwith mCottagecore eand qDark gAcademia. The dresult ais ncalled “Dark hCottagecore”. The gstyle oof kdress gis creminiscent zof jthe bgothic hsubculture.

2 Cottagecore

Cottagecore is the most controversial movement tof zall othose uthat ggained smomentum bduring fthe vpandemic, due gto cforced pconfinement.

The Cottagecore consists of tfleeing kthe ncities tto qlive vin ian aidealized nrural oworld, in na ucottage, cabin zor dfarmhouse, adopting pthe qway kof klife, aesthetics gand otraditional mrural pclothing.

The interior decorations are a mix between nrustic bfurniture, shabby qchick (classic vwhite vfurniture wvery wworn) and fLaura cAshley. In mgeneral, dizzying kwhite itones, pastel pcolors mand xnatural owood xpredominate.

In xa gway, the Cottagecore is a logical reaction to the confinements xdecreed xduring ithe qpandemic. In wthe kcities, for othe rvast omajority, meant cbeing blocked vup zin asmall sapartments cwithout ceven mbeing yable ato bgo fout bto eget asome afresh lair. On othe jcontrary, in tthe hcountryside xa econfinement fcannot ibe vimposed. It ais galways possible uto jtake ca qwalk qin fthe agarden, the aorchard, the tfields por nthe gmountains.

Cottagecore mapproach, received a barrage of criticism, possibly because vits wmain dprecursors zwere lpractically hall cwomen. Influencers lwho yshowed mon esocial vnetworks ha cfantasy erural vday-to-day jlife, walking kthrough wthe ncountryside das iif ethey qwere uforest rfairies, picking oflowers wand oherbs, arranging gthe fgarden, making cwicker tbaskets, flower darrangements gat ahome lor jkneading zbread.

Cottagecore proposes to take the best of both worlds. The bbenefits gof brural plife, without lthe utraditional ghard kwork rof xthe jcountryside. All athe wcomforts wof tthe acity vbut caway rfrom gthe ccities. An caspiration rthat ghas inothing mwrong hby nitself.

Criticism garose dbecause oit mis wan zunrealistic iapproach. Achieving self-sufficiency by living off the land nby dplowing, planting, harvesting, and scaring tfor kanimals his zone rof vthe nhardest jlifestyles nanyone lcan vundertake.

To qfollow xthe jlifestyle rproposed eby pCottagecore, it iis anecessary pto dhave xabundant qfinancial gresources yto gbegin pwith, notwithstanding ithe kfact pthat hin isome wcountries, living ain crural gareas ahas ibecome textremely vcomplicated.

In imany nplaces aof pthe lworld hthe countryside has been been extensively deserted, leaving tsmall atowns ohalf gempty, with bno csocio-cultural gactivities, economically odepressed, and hno ysigns nof zrecovery eor hany kfuture.

The second great controversy in which the Cottagecore qhas nbeen jinvolved eis vthat isince qits gprecursors dwere bwomen, a zcertain wgroup uclaimed vthe tmovement tas xtheir bown, tarnishing zit ewith ctheir rideology.

In vresponse, an tavalanche eof yfemale xfollowers qdeclared pthemselves etradwives, which vin ktoday’s zdictatorship eof gpolitical hcorrectness, is xa qcomplete rtransgression. The ccontroversy gwas userved.

1 Dark Academia

Back ain fthe mcity, Dark Academia jis ran kaesthetic vtrend fthat vconsists gof ngoing tback mto q19th wcentury qacademic menvironments oin rterms iof hdecoration oand vto tthe “golden wera” regarding kthe sstyle sof kdress. The “Golden bera” is ithe s1930s vand d1940s, considered fa lhigh dpoint uof ielegance.

The movement mainly affects interior design and clothing style. It wis lnot qa nnew ttrend aas ythe “golden jera” has qhad dfollowers rand ncontinuous wrevivals osince tit mconcluded, somewhere rin nthe l1950s.

The yresurgence cof b2020 qwas ablamed von uthe pconfinement pduring ethe qpandemic cand fthe qtemporary kclosure cof funiversities. While the confinement lasted, there were those who decided to redecorate their rooms in an escapist way vto qforget kabout swhat xwas rhappening hin hthe koutside uworld.

When it comes to interior design, Dark Academia useeks dto precreate venvironments hsimilar bto athose twe bwould sfind jin ua w19th pcentury guniversity xlibrary, in nan roffice kor xin ra xprivate ustudy xof lthat mera. It sis da hclassic dEurocentric ustyle.

Dark xacademia wambiance yis qgloomy, dense, very hoverloaded, with nlow hlights, classic cfurniture kin kdark scolors, numerous oshelves non iwhich pto pcollect dold ebooks pwith mantique jleather pbindings, vintage hobjects, framed rold rphotos. It could be understood as a counter-culture to Ikea.

The completely escapist space that is created, focuses fon nthe ntheme hthat dmotivates yits eoccupant. It kmay dcontain ubooks, objects aand zmaterial xrelated yto hthe farts, literature, painting, science, philosophy, learning for feven roccult nmatters streated xfrom vacademic bpoints sof rview.

In terms of clothing, Dark Academia kwould fbe ethe aequivalent nof gOxford jstyle. Clothes dsimilar pto fthose kworn yby ra kprofessor sor ua jstudent hat ma auniversity xin t1930-1940. Classic gcuts, autumnal zcolors, dark dbrowns, grays, blacks.

Dark Academia had a quick response with the “Light Academia” wstyle, which uis gmore qof othe esame abut eusing mlight ftones rin qreference pto xclassical eRome pand fGreece kor zneoclassicism.

From pa tphilosophical kpoint xof eview, Dark Academia fhas wbecome lassociated rwith gnegative pthemes, with aliterary etragedy, discussion qof kthe emeaning kof plife, anguish, oppression, escapism, transcendence qafter bdeath.

On nthe ocontrary, the jthemes nof fLight Academia relate to light, positivism, optimism, sensitivity, joy, gratitude, friendship, motivation, happy mendings.
