Teenpunk

Teenpunk, also coloquially called Pop-Punk Emo, is an aesthetic that was prevalent from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, although there has been a recent revival with the ‘Draculaura aesthetic’. This aesthetic is heavily influenced by Pop-Punk music and consumerist culture surrounding Corporate Alternative fashion, including vendors like Hot Topic, Claire's or JusticeTeenpunk | cari.institute. Teenpunk is characterized by its colour palette involving black, white and pink, and motifs involving "edgy" stuff that was popular among Alternative Millenial and Gen Z teenagers of the time, like colourful hair extensions, skulls, stars, checkerboard patterns, fishnets, Monster High dollsGuest Post: Y2K Mania & Micro-aesthetics | crushing.substack.com, etc. Like the term "Pop-Punk Emo" implies, it shares many similiarities with the Emo subculture, but it is closer to Pop culture and Pop-Punk music. Avril Lavigne is considered one of the pioneers of this aesthetic.

==Music==
===Pop-Punk===
Pop-Punk music is a fusion genre between Pop and Punk Rock. Compared to traditional Punk music, Pop-Punk artists often incorporate juvenile topics into their songs rather than political ones. This includes topics such as love, breakups, anti-suburbia themes, etc. Pop-Punk quickly became one of the most popular genres of music in the world, and it spawned a number of subgenres, such as emo pop, skate punk, and pop-rock. It influeced an important number of subcultures and music genres, including Teenpunk, Emo, Hyperpop, Hot Topic, 2020 Alt, Minivan Rock, etc. However, it's often deemed controversial due to its Corporate nature, particularly inside the typical Punk scene.
