K. Rowling.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: The fashions of the 2020s represent a departure from 2010s fashion. They have been largely inspired by styles of the early to mid 2000s, late 1990s, 1980s, 1970s, and 1960s. Popular brands in the United Kingdom, United States, and Australia during this era include Adidas, Nike, New Balance, Globe International, Vans, Kappa, Tommy Hilfiger, Asics, Ellesse, Ralph Lauren, Forever 21, Playboy, and The North Face.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: During the 2020s, many companies, including current fashion giants, such as Shein and Shekou, have been using social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram as a marketing tool. Marketing strategies involving third parties, particularly influencers and celebrities, have become prominent promotional tactics. E-commerce platforms such as Depop and Etsy grew by offering vintage, homemade, or resold clothing from individual sellers. Their goal is to promote and support small businesses and the environment, instead of major retailers.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: The COVID-19 pandemic influenced many aspects of society, including fashion. Wearing a face mask has become a common and often mandatory practice. The mask shortage, human desire for self-expression, and the ability to quickly design and make masks without specialized technology soon led to a multitude of mask designs. In addition, fashion's ability to adapt to the dynamics of the world allowed fashion to stay one step ahead of the changes.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: In response to these changes, fashion emerged that prioritized comfort, style, and safety. Along with face masks, both men and women favored more comfortable everyday wear. This included sneakers, loungewear, athleisure, pyjamas, and zoom tops. Zoom tops were shirts that were kept close by so the wearer could easily be presentable for a video meeting.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: Maximalist style made a comeback in America as the decade began, as a backlash against the fashions of the 2010s. After two years indoors, many younger people started to channel their restless energy into cheery, upbeat fashions. Gen Z found themselves dissatisfied with Minimalism and Millennial fashion, considering it lacked in self-expression and fluid gender representation. All facets of popular culture were impacted by maximalism, especially fashion, interior design, music, and the arts. The remnants of minimalist fashion were rebranded as fashion subcultures such as Postminimalism and Normcore.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: Although they were a fashion must-have in the 2010s, skinny jeans faced a significant backlash at the start of the decade. Gen-Z social media influencers on TikTok and BeReal decided that skinny jeans were no longer a symbol of youth culture, which caused controversy among fashion bloggers and millennial women. Separating one's hair to the side (side-part) was considered to be out of style by Gen-Z influencers. The term "cheugy" was coined to describe "tacky millennial fashion".


title: 2020s in fashion

text: From 2022 onwards, anti-fashion made a comeback among many users of social media like TikTok, in reaction to the proliferation of short-lived high fashion trend cycles after the Covid lockdowns of the early 2020s. Many young people in America, Europe and Australia combined vintage pieces with high street purchases and fast fashion bought from websites like Shein because it was nearly impossible to keep up with the wide variety of styles being shown to the average social media user on a daily basis, and also because mainstream fashion media quickly became outdated as new fads emerged online. Nostalgia rivals and niche subcultures became the most popular way of consuming mainstream fashion, giving the impression that everything was trendy at the same time.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: As the decade began, fashions of the late 1990s and early to mid-2000s made a comeback, as many younger women in the UK, Australia, the US, Europe, and Asia rejected the form-fitting clothes that were a staple of 2010s fashion. In late 2020, younger British and American women abandoned skinny jeans for sweatpants; sweat suits; leggings; bike shorts; baggy shorts; mom jeans; low rise pants; overalls; shortalls; pants with drawstring waists; studded belts; zip up denim jumpsuits with large pockets; boot cut pants and leggings; pink velour tracksuits; leather skirts; ankle length skirts sometimes made from sheer fabric; baggy pants; and culottes. Desirable colors in the US and Europe included navy blue, neon green, electric blue, purple, black, yellow, red, orange, white, coral, and baby pink.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: Popular shirts, coats, and dresses from this time included puffer jackets made from upcycled deadstock fabric, sweatshirts, high waisted pants, tucked-in sweaters, camisoles and crop tops, lowrise miniskirts, brocade topcoats, midriff-baring tops, ribbed turtlenecks, garish Ed Hardy style T-shirts with rhinestones, off-the-shoulder knitted tops, science fiction-inspired metallic jackets, loose-fitting shift dresses or blouses, pantywaist tops sometimes with cap sleeves, cashmere cardigans, and oversized 1980s-inspired dog's tooth check jackets popularized by Kaia Gerber and Miley Cyrus.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: Shoe and accessory styles changed as Crocs, platform sandals, knee-high boots, ballet flats, white sneakers (such as Vans, Keds, Nike Air Force 1s, or Converse), fringed handbags, multi-coloured 1980s-inspired earrings made from recycled ocean plastic, white bralettes, chunky cable knit scarves, Chelsea boots, and Doc Martens became popular.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: These women shifted to fair trade, vintage, and cruelty-free clothing. Fashion-conscious British women rejected nylon, acrylic, rayon, new cotton, and polyester in favour of tencel, linen, organic cotton, and recycled polyester. Popular colours included grey, silver, pastel pink, violet, pale blue, lavender, mint green, faded yellow, pastel teal, orange, red, and brown. Workplace dress codes became more casual due to a higher proportion of remote workers among white collar staff. Many professional women, especially in the UK and America, paired a formal blouse with casual leg wear like shorts or even pajama bottoms on video conferences.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: In India, Pakistan, and Ceylon, Generation Z girls repurposed the sari worn by their mothers. They paired it with sneakers, casual knitwear, crop tops, T-shirts, black Oxford shoes, Y2K-inspired platform sandals, and sportswear. The dresses were often made in contrasting shades of grey, black, and blush pink seen as a sleek, modern, and corporate look.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: The spring of 2021 saw a revival of psychedelic mid-to-late 1960s fashion in the UK, Asia, the US, and Africa.

title: 2020s in fashion

text: Other favoured styles included prairie dresses with floral embroidery; backless sundresses; floor-length kaftans with jeans; Pendleton jackets; hippie style mood rings popularized by Lorde; tiered flamenco dresses that flare out below the knee; satin slip dresses; jumpers with smiley faces and mushroom designs; satin blouses; checkerboard sweater vests; leather three-quarter length coats; Crombie style wool overcoats; leopard print winter coats; zip collar turtleneck sweaters; zip-up polo shirts with white collar trim; clothing with sunflower print; checkerboard motifs; and diamond and hexagonal prints.

title: 2020s in fashion

text: During the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns in early 2020, cottage-core became popular due to many younger women's desire to escape cities for rural life. Cottagecore fashion became popular in Korea, the US, and the UK promoted by social media sites such as TikTok, Pinterest, and Tumblr. From 2020-2022, Western artists such as Taylor Swift adopted the trend.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: The Cottage-core style was defined by pastel colours and palettes that evoked a romantic, idealized country aesthetic. American news website "Vox" characterized cottage-core popularity as "an escapist trend where quarantines were romantic instead of terrifying". Cottage-core centres around coloured and colours. Popular clothing included prairie dresses, blue gingham mini-dresses, white gypsy tops with multicolour Mexican-inspired floral embroidery, and hippie-style maxi dresses inspired by those worn during the late 1960s. Gingham and Austerity-era floral patterns dominated the aesthetic.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: A closely related fashion trend, popularized by TikTok influencer Lex Nicoletta during the summer of 2022, was known as "Coastal Grandmother". The term was originally coined to describe a “beachy, romantic aesthetic" associated with the rural American East Coast. It combined elements of cottage-core with spring and fall beachwear previously associated with baby boomers like Diane Keaton, especially white jeans, cashmere turtleneck sweaters, pastel pink flip-flops, woven tote bags made from recycled fabric, straw beekeeper style sun hats, and oversized linen blouses.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: As Gen Z reached adulthood, fashions of the late 90s and early to mid 2000s returned. This included mixing carefully selected contemporary fashion brands like Ellesse, Kappa, Tommy Hilfiger, or Ralph Lauren with original vintage clothing and recent thrift shop finds.

title: 2020s in fashion

text: Due to the many gym closures, digital smart watches with timers replaced analog wristwatches as many younger men in Europe and America subscribed to online apps for tracking and planning their exercise routines at home. In the UK, Middle East, and some parts of Africa, keffiyehs were used in an attempt to block viruses and to show support for Palestinian nationalism.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: Due to many 2000s fashions being throwbacks to the late 1970s to early 1980s, clothing such as pinstripes, textured knits with vertical stripes, leather waistcoats, clothing with corduroy texture, pleated trousers, and Chelsea boots regained popularity.

title: 2020s in fashion

text: Since the late 1990s, functional workwear items like Dickies trousers and Barbour jackets have been fashion statements, first sold through independent menswear stores like American Classics in London and Oi Polloi in Manchester. Workwear were as common on the high street as it is in department stores, with many fast-fashion labels even offering capsule collections of blue-collar staples like chore jackets and selvedge denim jeans. Brands such as Carhartt, Dickies and Uniqlo saw success throughout the beginning of the decade thanks to their close association with hip-hop streetwear and skate culture. crewnecks, dress socks, Dickies 874 pants, and folded knit caps became wardrobe essential's during this time period.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: Genderless fashion began as a niche Japanese subculture at the end of the 2010s. It went mainstream by 2021, with fashion experts speculating that the emerging androgynous style represents a new ideal of male beauty. The style took inspiration from 1980s fashion, anime, trendsetters like Ryuchell, and the often androgynous style of K-pop boy bands. Dyed hair, makeup, short shorts, knee socks, necklaces, tight pants, brothel creepers, Pink Panther and Betty Boop motifs, and feminine blouses in leopard print, silver, or bright colours like pink and orange were particularly common.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: At the same time, some men in the UK and Korea were embracing accessories like feather boas and drop earrings. Other popular articles of clothing included kimono style shirts, frilly lace blouses, tunics, boots with stacked Cuban heels, crop tops, furry ugg boots, kilts, mint green safari jackets with Nudie Cohn inspired embroidery, shiny jackets with shoulder pads and puffy sleeves, flared trousers, transparent shirts, shawl lapel sports coats sometimes covered with sequins or rhinestones, oversized silk shirts in purple, green, gold or silver, and suits in eccentric colours like gold lame, shiny green sequins, or fuchsia.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: During the summer of 2022, Gen Z men in America favoured shorter athletic shorts, sometimes referred to as "hoochie daddy shorts", with a 5 inch or even a 3 inch inseam. Several factors contributed to the rise in popularity of 5 inch shorts, including the popularity of men's thighs on social media, a greater acceptance of gender-fluid clothing in mainstream fashion, and general comfort and fashion trends.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: The main trendsetters in androgynous fashion during this time included Sam Smith, Lil Nas X, Italian rock band Måneskin, South Korean pop star Jimin, drag artists Ru Paul and Jodie Harsh, Paul Mescal, African entrepreneur Ezra Olubi, and Harry Styles.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: The widespread internet and social media access in the beginning of 2020 caused a boom in the popularity of 2000s subcultures and fashion styles among teenagers. One such subculture was the alternative or pop punk style of the early 2000s. This style was particularly popular among scene kids, punks, emos, skaters, and mall goths who referred to them as the "Rawring Twenties" on social media. Youth wanted to fully recreate the 'peak' of emo culture in every aspect of their lifestyle. This phenomenon brought a rise in secondhand shopping as it allowed people to find genuine or deadstock items from the early 2000s. Reasons for subculture revivals are nostalgia and considered that fashion to be liberating and eye-catching.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: E-kid culture of the early 2020s was influenced by 2000s-inspired pop punk and emo aesthetics. Celebrities and influencers such as Billie Eilish, Yungblud, Dua Lipa, Lil Peep, Bladee, and Juice WRLD based their styles on emo rap, dark trap, ragecore, digicore, and industrial trap music. The pop punk revival of the early 2020s, associated with acts like Machine Gun Kelly, Olivia Rodrigo and Yungblud, as well as early 2000s groups like Paramore releasing comeback albums, had a significant E-kid fanbase.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: Like the millennial scene kids swapping style tips on MySpace during the mid to late 2000s, Generation Z used YouTube and TikTok to showcase their coloured bang haircuts, customized androgynous all-black outfits, low-rise pants, stripy T-shirts, silver jewelry, mesh tops, plaid or leather miniskirts, platform sneakers, knit caps, band T-shirts, garishly printed shirts, hoodies, fishnets, wallet chains, and pale emo-inspired makeup with blush and heavy eyeliner. Despite the criticism that E-kids were appropriating Asian popular culture such as anime and Korean pop, the counterculture grew in popularity driven by retailers such as Hot Topic and also due to mainstream exposure of emo pop.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: For Black American and Black British youth, hip hop fashion became more politicized. This was due to the influence of social justice rappers including Stormzy, No Name, the Black Lives Matter movement, and a resurgence of interest in past civil rights organizations such as the Black Panther Party. Slogan T-shirts inspired by punk fashion, black leather jackets or trench coats, hoodies, black sweatpants, face-concealing black bandanas, dark glasses, marijuana motifs, skull masks, morale patches, paramilitary tactical vests, and camouflage patterns were popular. Black American activists in the South sometimes wore blue union army kepis at the demolition of Confederate statues to taunt lost cause revisionists and white supremacists.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: Thanks to artists like Ken Carson, Playboi Carti, and Lil Uzi Vert, the 2020s are particularly famous for a new generation of street wear ensembles that are "vamp" influenced. Heavy metal-inspired hip-hop apparel, dyed dread locs or braids, occult decorations like pentagrams and upside-down crosses, and layering garments are essential elements of this punk-inspired hip-hop trend.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: American indie fashion of the early 2020s had a major crossover with the Japanese subculture Kid-Core, to the point where the two terms became interchangeable in the US. The indie kid look centers around bright colours and nods to the late 1990s and 2000s. Thrifting was popular across the internet in 2020 due to Gen Z's distaste for fast fashion and a desire to emulate the past. American and European teens started flooding thrift stores like Goodwill in hopes of finding trendy items such as wide legged jeans, oversized zip up hoodies, striped cardigans, crop tops, collared shirts, shoestring belts, mom jeans and other high-rise pants, shortalls, bucket hats, Doc Martens, platform shoes, shredded denim, flower crowns, and tennis skirts. People who influenced this trend include indie rapper Russ and Australian rapper the Kid Laroi.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: Unlike the hipster subculture of the 2010s, American indie kids of the 2020s favoured a more childlike style that took inspiration from the late 1990s and 2000s, bedroom pop, skater fashion, energy drink culture, and hyper pop. Though the indie movement attempted to be anti-conformist and environmentally friendly, this trend was heavily criticized towards young people reselling cheap second hand clothing at inflated prices.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: A subsection of indie fashion were the VSCO girls who tried to emulate the style of the photo app, VSCO. These girls wear scrunchies on their wrists and in their hair with high side ponytails and headbands. Footwear includes white sneakers, ballet flats, and sandals. VSCO girls do not wear loud colours. They wear little to no makeup that blends with their skin and prioritize a cute and comfortable style. The style also included elements of soft grunge such as pastel pinks and blues, high waisted pants, oversized tie dye T-shirts, long sweatshirts or sweater dresses, bike shorts, Nike track shorts, Nike Tempo shorts, capri and ankle length leggings with socks, T-shirt dresses, denim skirts, overalls, shortalls, high waisted mom jeans many times with shirts, sweaters, sweatshirts tucked in their jeans and a belt worn, headbands, and Nike Elite socks in many different colours.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: In contrast to the brightly coloured, childlike outfits popular in America, and the mismatched clothing previously worn ironically by hipsters during the 2010s, British indie pop fans favoured a darker, more authentic post-punk and garage rock-inspired aesthetic. Critics have compared the early 2020s indie rock revival, with its 1960s- and Noughties-inspired outfits, to the original British Invasion. Members of the UK indie subculture combined thrifted dress clothing from the mid 2000s to early 2010s with carefully selected vintage clothing, and new garments made to retro 1960s patterns by companies such as Madcap England. Artists including Sam Fender, Wet Leg, Lathums, Years & Years, and Wolf Alice popularized velvet or paisley tuxedo jackets in dark blue or burgundy, off the peg dark wash slim fit jeans (but not as tight as those of the 2010s), striped polo shirts with cardigan sweater styling, white T shirts, black leather jackets, bucket hats, miniskirts (for girls), Argyle golfing sweaters, black sport-coats, checked western shirts, ripped jeans, brothel creepers, and parkas.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: The dark academia aesthetic, which combined elements of preppy and gothic fashion, was heavily influenced by 1930s and 1940s fashion, particularly attire worn by students at Oxbridge, Ivy League colleges, and prep schools during the time.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: Cardigans, blazers, dress shirts, plaid skirts, tights, knee socks, Oxford shoes, ballet flats, white sneakers, twill jogger pants, and apparel made of houndstooth and tweed are some of the most identified articles of clothing with the dark academia aesthetic. The typical colour palette consisted of primarily of black, white, beige, browns, dark green, and occasional navy. The style has been criticized for its having themes of Eurocentrism and unhealthy learning practices.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: A closely related style, known as "light academia", was characterized by neutral and light colours including light blues, pinks, whites, creamy yellows, beige, light greys, light purple, pastel and dusty colours, plaid, stripes, and argyle patterns reminiscent of the preppy look of the early 1980s. Variants to this style, which originated in America as an internet trend, included "pastel academia," "romantic academia," and "chaotic academia." Unlike dark academia, light academia is about positivity, self-care, and the warm and pleasurable parts of life. Clothing items included pleated skirts, skater dresses, jumper dresses, dresses worn with a belt, sweaters, cardigans, oversized tops, khaki pants, plaid pants, twill jogger pants, argyle and pastel knee socks, argyle and pastel tights, black tights when worn with lighter coloured clothes, socks slouched in summer weather, socks over tights, ankle and capri leggings, bike shorts, mom jeans and other high waisted pants, shortalls, shorts and skirts worn with tucked in dress shirts, cardigan sweaters and sweatshirts, turtlenecks, polo style shirts, and dressy shorts. Shoes included ballet flats, boat shoes, Mary Jane flats, white sneakers such as Keds or Sperry Top-Siders, flat ankle boots, and loafers. They accessorized with headbands, scrunchies, watches, and thin bangles.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: Goblincore, also known as gremlincore, was an American subculture and style of art based on the enjoyment of features of nature that were not conventionally considered beautiful. The Goblin was an evil thieving creature in European mythology, but also served as a carefree expression of infatuation with nature's ugliness. Animals like frogs and snails, as well as materials like moss, dirt, plants, and fungi like mushrooms, were associated with goblin core.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: Goblin core was popular in the LGBTQ+ community. Attire could include adventure-ready gear — most goblin core fans appear to prefer ensembles with multiple clashing patterns/colours, especially oversized sweaters — or worn-out or customized pants and overalls. For a more relaxed vibe, much of the apparel is worn-out, thrifted, or second-hand, similar to the look of crust punks in the late 1990s. Most goblincore enthusiasts preferred getting dirty, so keeping their clothes clean was not a priority.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: Fairy grunge combined the aesthetics of fairy-core, coquette, and grunge. Social media creators were mostly responsible for popularizing this aesthetic. Fairy grunge might be seen as a natural extension of the kinderwhore style — which has deep roots in grunge — but with a more ethereal touch. Fairy grunge often included oversized t-shirts or hoodies, long or mini skirts, nightgowns, corsets, mittens gloves, skull patterns, mesh tights or fishnets, high knee socks, leg warmers, platform Demonia shoes, fairy wings, and sometimes elf ears. Coquette, also sometimes referred to as Nymphet, has been criticized for the glamorization of eating disorders, pedophilia, racism, and classism.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: Bimbocore, also known as Barbiecore, is an American and Canadian feminist fashion subculture that reclaims the sexist stereotypes of female celebrities from the 2000s. Bleached blonde hair, Juicy Couture. Von Dutch, Ed Hardy, skimpy skintight clothing, and McBling-inspired fashion accessories characterize Bimbocore and its Japanese counterpart, Gyaru. The style acts as a meta-ironic parody of mid 2000s to early 2010s Millennial Girlboss Feminism, acknowledging that they are appealing to heteronormative feminine beauty standards, but in a queer feminist way. Pro-sex work and pro-women's rights, Bimbocore gained popularity in leftist TikTok communities. McBling was commonly mislabeled as Y2K. Millennial pink, Rhinestones, small handbags, large sunglasses, and pop music define this aesthetic.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: Bimbocore was criticized for glamorizing the sugar baby life style and adult platforms such as OnlyFans, but that did not end the movement's popularity with Gen Z. Mcbling has also been thoroughly criticized for racism, whitewashing, classism, and fat phobia.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: Gorp is a style that emerged in the late 2010’s - early 2020’s. Coined by Jason Chef in 2017, Gorpcore is futuristic, loose-fitting, outdoors, camping-chic inspired style. Gorp is unlike other style categories because it has developed into a style classification within the past couple years. The youth in 2022 reuse and get style inspiration from previous generations, while Gorp has emerged in the 2020’s, making the up and coming style more unique. The style is somewhat open for interpretation because it is fairly new making it flexible and creative. Although, there are certain patterns and form that classify an outfit as Gorp.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: Brands that are associated with Gorpcore aesthetic are Arcteryx, Patagonia, North Face and more. A significant part of this style category is the earthy and muted tones, down jackets, utility pants, knit caps, big headphones and racer-glasses are a part of the Gorp aesthetic. This fashion style coincides with Gen-Zers desire for sustainable fashion, as many of these pieces are easily accessible in vintage or thrift shops while designer pieces can be found on e-commerce stores such as Depop or Thred-up. This style is unisex and reflects how Gen-Zers are breaking heteronormative cultural dress codes and creating an original style unique to the 2020’s.

text: Due to the restrictions on hair salons during the lockdowns, many women grew out their hair or watched tutorials to do their own hair. Popular styles included curtain bangs, 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s-inspired bangs, hair extensions, ponytails, twin Pigtail, French braid, shaggy hair commonly known as the "wolf cut", and natural hair for Black American women. Along with these hairstyles, 1960s-inspired beehive hairdos were popularized by British pop singers Emily Capell and Joy Crookes, and early 2000s fashion-inspired straightened and brightly dyed hair was made popular by Doja Cat and Billie Eilish from 2021–22.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: Common hair accessories included pearl and sequin hair clips, headbands, bandannas and scrunchies. During the lockdowns of 2020–21, some women in the UK, America and Asia experimented with DIY hairstyles at home, including the bob cut, the crop, the partially shaved head, bangs, and the pixie cut.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: Beginning in 2020, full beards associated with hipster subculture declined, except in parts of the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. When worn, beards in the West were generally trimmed short to accentuate the wearer's features and facilitate masking.


title: 2020s in fashion

text: Hairstyles of the late 1980s, 1990s and early to mid 2000s such as side parted or centrally parted curtained hair, permed hair, bleached hair, the "Wet Mop"," Mullets, quiff, the "Edgar cut", and shaggy hair came back among teenagers and young adult men due to barbershop closures in the UK and US. Many younger Black American men opted for natural hair from 2021 onwards, especially the skin fade, textured Caesar cut and short versions of the afro or dreadlocks combined with an undercut. Meanwhile, many balding men in the UK, America and Ireland continued to get buzz cuts at home during the lockdown. Despite negative online reactions by heterosexual women, young males began growing mustaches in the summer of 2022, inspired by Miles Teller's role in "".


title: 2020s in fashion

text: Common skincare techniques in America during the early 2020s included "slugging" the face and sometimes the hair with petroleum jelly.

text: The Clean Girl look was an evolution of the previous decade's Model Off Duty aesthetic. The term was coined during the early 2020s to characterize the makeup style pioneered by American models like Bella Hadid and Lily Rose Depp. This casual monochromatic tone style had matching clothing sets that complemented the cosmetics, button-down shirts, slicked-back hair, fluffy brows, dewy skin, flushed cheeks, and glossy lips. Clean Girl was focused on appearing effortlessly flawless and casual, adapting all the fashion trends from the early 2020s and giving them a muted tonal colour palate and a sexy carefree attitude. The strong emphasis on skincare, diet, and exercise made the clean girl not only a fashion statement but a lifestyle as well, similar to her 1960s predecessor. The Clean Girl aesthetic has been criticized for cultural appropriation, toxic positivity and fatphobia, which did affect its mainstream popularity.

text: The Brazilian butt lift is a gluteal fat grafting procedure that utilizes excess fat collected from other areas of the body to add buttock volume and projection, and/or adjust overall shape and symmetry. The Brazilian Butt lift reached its peak media coverage in 2021, when it was declared to be "the world's most dangerous cosmetic surgery", with news headlines discussing the procedure's risks and fatalities following the procedure. The "fox eye lift" in particular, was a contentious cosmetic trend because of the strong racial connotations associated with giving someone an oriental eye shape.

text: It was "no longer fashionable to be curvaceous," according to mainstream news outlets of the day; Heroin Chic enjoyed a popular resurgence. Eating disorders and toxic beauty standards became a problem for all genders due to manospheric obsession towards low body fat and sharp angular faces, leading to severe body dimorphic disorders, the glorification of cosmetic jaw surgery and eating disorders in those who identify as men. Fat shaming spread to main stream platforms such as Tik Tok and Instagram, and Twitter users engaged in targeted harassment of those who did not fit their ideal beauty standards. A woman could be targeted for harassment simply by being present online.


title: Detroit Diesel V8 engine

text: General Motors introduced a line of Diesel V8 engines for their C/K pickup trucks in 1982. This engine family was produced by GM through 2000, when it was replaced by the new Duramax line. AM General's subsidiary General Engine Products (GEP) still produces a military variant of this engine for the HMMWV.


title: Detroit Diesel V8 engine

text: The General Motors light-truck 6.2 and 6.5 L Diesel engines were optional in all 1982 through 2000 full-size GM pickups, SUVs, and vans: Chevrolet C/K pickup trucks, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet K5 Blazer and its replacement Chevrolet Tahoe, full-size Chevrolet Van and its successor Chevrolet Express, as well as motor homes. The engine was standard on AM General military HMMWV, civilian Hummer H1, and the 1980s GM military Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle.


title: Detroit Diesel V8 engine

text: The original diesel V8 was introduced in 1982 for the Chevrolet C/K and was produced until 1993. The 6.2 L diesel emerged as a high-MPG alternative to the V8 gasoline engine lineup, and achieved better mileage than the General Motors 4.3 L V6 gasoline engines of the 1980s, at a time when the market was focused on power rather than efficiency. However, it was designed to easily install in place of the gasoline V8, using the same mounting and attachments for transmissions as all GM truck engines. Overall weight for the complete engine is slightly heavier than the 7.4 L gasoline engine. There were about 300 6.2 diesel engines which were placed into 2 door cars in 1981, prior to official production. These were then given to the United States government and issued to various federal agencies and military branches. These were used as testbeds regarding long term fuel economy and reliability in cars.


title: Detroit Diesel V8 engine

text: The version was introduced in 1992 to replace the 6.2. Most 6.5s are equipped with a turbo. This engine was never meant to be a power and torque competitor with Ford/International and Dodge/Cummins, but rather a simply designed workhorse engine that made credible power, achieved decent fuel economy and met emission standards in half-ton trucks. The Duramax 6600 replaced the 6.5 in light trucks beginning in 2001 and the C3500HD medium duty cab and chassis (replaced by C4500 Kodiak/Topkick) and vans beginning in 2003, but the 6.5 (6500 Optimizer) is still produced by AM General for the HMMWV.


title: Detroit Diesel V8 engine

text: There are several GM 6.5-liter diesel engine production options. The Turbocharged L56, (VIN "S") was used in most light duty 3/4 ton (2500). Heavy duty 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks used the Turbocharged L65 (VIN "F") engine. The L56 is emissions controlled with EGR and catalytic converters. The L65 engine has no EGR, and has no catalytic converter. There is a soot trap on L65 engines that is often mistaken for a catalytic converter. GM was the first manufacturer to introduce an electronically controlled fuel injection system into a diesel pickup truck. The L49 (VIN "P") and L57 are both naturally aspirated engines. L57 is listed as HO or Heavy Duty. Additional RPO codes are LQM and LQN .


title: Detroit Diesel V8 engine

text: Changes were made by GM to the 6.5 in their light trucks for emissions or reliability improvement. The 1992-1993 model years used a 6.5-specific Stanadyne DB-2 mechanical injection pump. GM replaced the DB-2 with the electronic throttle DS-4 in 1994-2000 vehicles. In mid-1996 GM implemented a redesigned engine cooling system incorporating twin non bypass-blocking thermostats and a water pump. This improved the flow through the block by 70–75% and flow to the radiator 7%.


title: Detroit Diesel V8 engine

text: The fuel system is a very simple design. A mechanical or electric fuel lift pump feeds a Stanadyne Rotary Distributor Injection pump at low pressure. The distributor injection pump controls both metering, via an internal centrifugal governor, and high pressure fuel delivery to the fuel injectors via internal precision hydraulic pumps. Near the top of the compression stroke fuel is atomized at high pressure into a hemispherical Inconel prechamber in the cylinder heads using Bosch pintle and seat mechanical fuel injectors. This is called Indirect injection. GM used fully mechanical DB2 series injection pumps on all military HMMWVs and 1982-1993 6.2s and 6.5s. From 1994 until end of production, GM used the electronically controlled Stanadyne DS4 series of injection pumps in their light trucks. A mechanical DB4 series injection pump can be found on some 6.5L marine engines.

The letters, written to suggest a serious but misinformed and obtuse correspondent, were designed to tweak the noses of politicians and corporations. Many of them received serious responses; Novello sometimes continued the charade correspondence at length, with humorous results. The letters and responses were published in the books "The Lazlo Letters", "Citizen Lazlo!", and "From Bush to Bush: The Lazlo Toth Letters".

title: Toms River, New Jersey

text: Toms River is a township in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. Its mainland portion is also a census-designated place of the same name, which serves as the county seat of Ocean County. Formerly known as the Township of Dover, in 2006 voters approved a change of the official name to the Township of Toms River, adopting the name of the largest unincorporated community within the township. Located at the heart of the Jersey Shore region, the township is a bedroom suburb of New York City in the New York metropolitan area and a regional commercial hub in central New Jersey.


title: Toms River, New Jersey

text: As of the 2020 U.S. census, the township had a total population of 95,438, with the township ranking as the eighth-most-populous municipality in the state in 2020, the same ranking as 2010 and the second most-populous municipality in Ocean County behind Lakewood Township, which had a population of 135,158. The 2020 population increased by 4,199 (+4.6%) from the 91,239 counted in the 2010 Census, which had in turn increased by 1,533 (+1.7%) from the 89,706 counted in the 2000 census.

title: Toms River, New Jersey

text: Much of the early history of the settlement of Toms River is obscured by conflicting stories. Various sources list the eponym of the township as either English captain William Tom, or farmer and ferryman Thomas Luker. In 1992, as part of celebrations commemorating the township's 225th anniversary, official recognition was granted to the tradition that the "Tom" in "Toms River" was for Thomas Luker, who ran a ferry across Goose Creek (now the Toms River). During the 19th century, Toms River became a center for shipbuilding, whaling, fishing, and iron and lumber production. The settlement and the river were usually spelled "Tom's River" in its early days, though its current spelling has been standard since the middle of the 19th century.


title: Toms River, New Jersey

text: Toms River was located in the southern section of the Township of Shrewsbury that obtained a royal charter to secede in 1767 and form Dover Township. During the American Revolutionary War, Toms River was home to a strategically important salt works that supplied colonial militias, as well as a base for privateer vessels that plundered British and Tory ships off the coast. In March 1782, a group of British and loyalist soldiers attacked a blockhouse along the river that housed the colonial militia and captured Captain Joshua Huddy, who was later hanged at Sandy Hook. Also destroyed were the salt works and most of the houses in the village. The incident greatly complicated the tense relationship between the British, loyalist, and colonial and was a factor in prolonging the peace negotiations that were then in progress in Paris until 1783.


title: Toms River, New Jersey

text: Dover Township was incorporated as one of New Jersey's first 104 townships by the Township Act of 1798 of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798. Portions of the township were taken to form Jackson Township (March 6, 1844), Union Township (March 10, 1846, now Barnegat Township), Brick Township (February 15, 1850), Manchester Township (April 6, 1865), Berkeley Township (March 31, 1875), Island Heights (May 6, 1887), Lavallette (December 21, 1887) and Seaside Heights (February 26, 1913). The township's original name was for Dover, England, and was changed to Toms River Township based on a referendum passed in 2006.


title: Toms River, New Jersey

text: In 1850, Toms River became the county seat of the newly created Ocean County when it was formed out of southern Monmouth County. During the second half of the 19th century and the early decades of the 20th, many new towns were carved out of Dover Township, including Brick, Jackson, Lakewood and Berkeley. The Village of Toms River attempted twice—in 1914 and 1926—to secede from Dover Township, but residents were unsuccessful. The part of Toms River on the south side of the river stretching down to Berkeley Township incorporated as South Toms River in 1927, but the core of the original village on the north side remains part of the wider township to this day.


title: Toms River, New Jersey

text: In the last two decades of the twentieth century, the demographics of the township changed substantially, adding over 20,000 residents just in the 1990s alone. While the village is still the center of municipal and county government, the population in the area exploded in the decades after World War II, due in part to the completion of the Garden State Parkway. Whereas the village was the largest and most densely populated section of the township for over two centuries, the vast majority of residents now shop and work in other sections of the town.

text: Toms River made national headlines in the 1990s with their Little League Baseball team, nicknamed "Beast from the East", which competed in the Little League World Series three times in five years, winning in 1998 when they defeated Japan by a score of 12–9. More than 40,000 people lined Route 37 for a parade following their victory over Kashima, Japan. Toms River Little League made it to Williamsport in 2010 giving Toms River its record fourth Mid-Atlantic championship, returning there as regional runners up in 2021.

text: Toms River is also home to many National Champion Pop Warner Football and Cheerleading titles. 1996 Toms River Raider Jr. PeeWee Football team won a National Championship. Cheerleaders from the Toms River Little Indians, Toms River Raiders, and the Toms River Angels (formerly the Saint Joe's Angels) have won many National Titles. The first National Championship title was won in 1993 by the Toms River Little Indian Midget Cheer squad. In 2001, 2002, and 2003 the Toms River Angels brought home national titles resulting in the nations second ever three peat (meaning they brought home three national titles on the same level). In 2005, The Toms River Little Indians brought home two more national titles, and the Toms River Raiders won one. In 2006, The Toms River Angels Midget Large Advanced Cheer Squad and the Toms River Little Indians Midget Small Intermediate Cheer Squad won two more National Titles. In 2007 The Toms River Angels brought home one and the Indians brought back two more to add to their history.

text: In the mid-1990s, state and federal health and environmental agencies identified an increased incidence of childhood cancers in Toms River from the 1970–1995 period. Multiple investigations by state and federal environmental and health agencies indicated that the likely source of the increased cancer risk was contamination from Toms River Chemical Plant (then operated by Ciba-Geigy), which had been in operation since 1952. The area was designated a United States Environmental Protection Agency Superfund site in 1983 after an underground plume of toxic chemicals was identified. The following year, a discharge pipe was shut down after a sinkhole at the corner of Bay Avenue and Vaughn Avenue revealed that it had been leaking. The plant ceased operation in 1996. A follow up study from the 1996–2000 period indicated that while there were more cancer cases than expected, rates had significantly fallen and the difference was statistically insignificant compared to normal statewide cancer rates. Since 1996, the Toms River water system has been subject to the most stringent water testing in the state and is considered safe for consumption. Dan Fagin's "Toms River: A Story of Science and Salvation", the 2014 Pulitzer Prize winning book, examined the issue of industrial pollution in detail.


title: Toms River, New Jersey

text: "Toms River" at one time referred only to the rural farming community of Toms River, a small part of the vast Township of Dover that included several other distinct settlements. With the United States Postal Service's adoption of Toms River mailing addresses for Dover Township, coupled with demographic changes in the other sections, those inside and outside began referring to all of mainland Dover Township as Toms River. In the 1990 Census, the census-designated place called "Toms River" only included the downtown village area that included fewer than 8,000 residents in 1990. Due to complaints of confusion, the CDP was broadened to include all of mainland Dover Township to better reflect the more common usage for the area.


title: Toms River, New Jersey

text: Over the years, confusion over the name of the township had become an issue for many residents. A movement organized around the Dover Township Name Change Committee, founded by Mayor Paul Brush and supported by the Ocean County Chamber of Commerce, collected signatures to put a name change question on the ballot in November 2006. On Election Day, November 7, 2006, over 60% of residents voted to approve changing the name from the Township of Dover to the Township of Toms River. The name change campaign featured the slogan "Toms River YES", signifying a yes vote for the name change, and the name was officially changed on November 14, 2006.
