My aesthetic is Neeeerd. I wore a calculator watch for most of my teens. Later I carried a BlackBerry in my shirt pocket even though this was like 10 years after everyone else stopped using BlackBerry. Nowadays during winter I wear a jacket with an oversized pocket, in which I carry a Lenovo Thinkpad. People are always shocked when I pull a laptop out of my pocket.

Also red. I like red. Does interior decorating count as an expression of aesthetic? I programmed the lights in my house to turn red at 10:32 pm every night. Also I put a big red arcade machine in the living room to make it look more classy. There's an episode of the Simpsons that Elvis would watch as many as three TVs at once. This inspired me to put three TVs side by side. The more screens, the better, right?

I am a nerd but I loathe the nerd 'look'. Those large digital watches with the black wrist strap have me wanting to run for the hills.

What about a large digital watch with a steel wrist strap!

Might surprise people but I like the 60's skins aesthetic with Doc martens, skinny jeans and white t-shirts and stirrups.

'

Funfact: The look was straight copied from the local Jamaican rudeboys from the early 1960s.

I got rid of my doc martens back in the early 90s but I still sport the short hair and sideburns :lol:

I was a hipster year 2007-10, and now I'm a normie. Losing the photos of my Bianchi pseudo-fixie is something I still regret to this day.

Everyone hated hipsters but we got all the cool parties and pretty girls so :jester: [/irony]

This is what I like to wear but I’m not sure what aesthetic this is. Sometimes I do wear bright or pastel colors but not prissy clothes. I guess if goth, redneck (I wear Carhartts, Winter hats, flannels and boots), basic and tomboy fused together that would be me.

I was a skinhead girl for a lot of years. I loved that look and still do but I don't wear that sort of stuff anymore and I don't have a skinhead either. I still own my Doc Martens and I have a donkey jacket and three Harrington jackets as well. But they're in the wardrobe these days and I can usually be seen wearing a hoodie and a pair of old Vans.
