Coconut Girl

Coconut Girl (also known as Malibu Barbie and Key West Kitten) centers around the Nymphet interpretation of tropical beaches typically associated with Florida from the 1960s to the 2000s. It creates an atmosphere that expresses the femininity and youth associated with young women vacationing during the summertime.
The aesthetic has multiple interpretations; while in the beginning, it was known among the Nymphet community, it later gained more mainstream appeal and was connected to other beach-related aesthetics such as VSCO and surf cultureMultiple articles such as this one contrast older Pinterest boards. There is no discussion of Lana del Rey, for example. Because of this, visuals may differ and is connected to the practice of mass-tagging.
==Origin==
The aesthetic stems from early 2000s girly summer tourist culture and is influenced from pictures on Pinterest illustrating those times. It then began to grow popular on TikTok by young women who have developed a fascination with the unreleased songs of Lizzie Grant (Lana Del Rey), specifically the songs "Mermaid Motel," "St. Tropez," and "Wayamaya." 
The last song is largely the most frequently played in Coconut Girl TikToks, and its imagery largely codified the aesthetic; ukelele, Lana's girlish and dreamy tone, and lyrics centering around vacationing in the upper-class areas of Hawaii are traits that can be easily translated into visuals. 
Like other aesthetic TikToks, these content creators play the songs while rapidly showing images of Coconut Girl aesthetics. 
== Philosophy ==
The ideology around the Coconut Girl aesthetic comes from the followers of the aesthetic, who are mostly young women in their teens and twenties. Feminine sensuality and youth is strongly associated with the aesthetic. However, anyone of any age or gender can participate in Coconut Girl. The most important part of the aesthetic is the mindset of relaxation and fun.
==Visuals==
Much of the imagery associated with this originated from the Surf Crush trend of the early 2000s, combined with the brightly colored and plastic Tween culture of the time period. And due to the influence of Lana Del Rey/Lizzie Grant, Americana motifs are common.

==Subgenres==
===Tropicalcore===
Tropicalcore is an internet aesthetic that could be interpreted as a more Kawaii take on Coconut Girl, often featuring Tropical beaches, the ocean and sea, mixed with cute filters and effects like glitter, saturated colours, clutter and bright flowers. Tropicalcore images often feature fictional characters from animated series, anime, video games, movies and also Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty. Commonly these people wear colorful swimsuits, accompanied by flowers, tropical fruits, a drink or lollipops. Although many Tropicalcore edits may feature fictional characters and the editing techniques might resemble Cutecore, there are other images that only display imagery relating to the beach, the sea, and/or food and beverages with flowers in the image.
Tropicalcore fashion is inspired by what a tweenager would typically be wearing at the beach, with some elements inspired by the Gyaru subculture. It consists of hibiscus flowers, see-through swimsuit coverups, floral accessories, sandals, anklets, friendship bracelets, crocs and beach-themed Jibbitz to go with it, dolphin accessories, mermaid accessories, earrings, goggles, colorful bikinis, and swimsuits.
