Fairy Grunge

Fairy Grunge is a mix of the Fairycore and Grunge aesthetics. This aesthetic was popularized predominantly by creators on TikTok and other social media platforms, but has strong roots in early 2000s YA fairy fandom (particularly the works of Holly Black). 
Given the goals and themes of Fairy Grunge, it could be viewed as a natural evolution of the Kinderwhore aesthetic (which also has deep ties with Grunge), but goes for more of an ethereal and Hot Topic-influenced twist.
