P.S: No one here noticed that Mistuki’s tattoo is probably an Arctic Monkeys tattoo? It’s , like, half of the AM album cover. (I can’t attach images for some reason but… yeah)
Realised it on my 3rd read, I was thinking I saw this tattoo somewhere
Maybe, but sound waves have been used on numerous things.
The artic monkeys cover is just two AM waves.
The only iconic ones I can think of are Arctic Monkeys and Joy Division. Her tattoo looks like an AM wave, but I don’t think she’d just pick this as a tattoo for random reasons (someone who owns band merch a.k.a is up to date with their logos wouldn’t get a random tattoo). My bet is that she also digs Arctic Monkeys. Alt girl being alt. Tumblr aesthetic, etc.
Even if it's not from that album cover it's still music related either way.
I was a 90's alt teen (tapes, radio and magazines), what is the tumblr aesthetic?
(quick rant)
the "tumblr girl" aesthetic is basically a soft grunge style. dark tones, band t-shirts, ripped jeans, flannels, combat boots, tattoos, piercings and a lot of black mascara. the e-girls nowadays are kinda reviving it but the "tumblr girl" from the 2010s is just... different. it's very "rocker" and indie inspired.
outside of fashion, this aesthetic mainly focused in alt/indie rock bands like arctic monkeys, the 1975, radiohead, oasis, etc, and for the ones not really into (pop) rock, lana del rey.
here's some vid refs: https://youtu.be/I0ws480H_Hs ; https://youtu.be/eChWBSGeRR4 ; https://youtu.be/gjv0F_3yrWE
(they mention the problematic parts of this whole aesthetic, so... TW)
i was a tween in the early 2010s so I remember it very well. sometimes I have war flashbacks of 2014 tumblr, that's why I thought of the AM tattoo
