Dokukawaii

Dokukawaii (毒かわいい) is a Japanese aesthetic that centers around themes related to toxicity and bright colors. Its name is derived from "eye poison" (目の毒), which refers to something "so colorful it hurts your eyes yet you can't stop looking at it".
It is often conflated with the Yami Kawaii and Gurokawa aesthetic by those not familiar with it.
== History ==
