It's characterized by its somewhat loosely-defined fashion style featuring maximalist elements, bright colours, cartoon and manga prints, glitter and the combination of clashing textures, prints, colours, shapes and hemlines. The aesthetic is childhood-themed and promotes a good sense of humor and lighthearted self-mockery. Given its silly and funny nature, it was termed "LOLcore" by fashion experts. Relating to other fashion styles, it supported the empowerment of Alternative fashion styles and opposed Normcore "Forget Normcore, it's all about LOLcore" | stuff.co.nz and rejected Minimalism and the fashion standards of the time.
