The Internet has many places to ask questions about anything imaginable and find past answers on almost everything.
Described by Urban Dictionary as ‘a f*ckboy, but without the cocky attitude’, the softboy appears to be an emotional being with real feelings and acts considerate of yours too. A softboy will reply to texts, listen to your problems, share his own personal hopes and dreams and genuinely seem like a stand-up guy.
Essentially, the soft girl is the happy medium between VSCO and e-girls — she’s emanating the happy vibes VSCO girls are known for, but she’s also totally done up with the theatrical makeup and accessories that are loved by e-girls.
Deriving from the term “egirl,” eboy can be simply defined as the male version of stylish, anime-inspired, semi-emo/goth TikTok egirl. A male who takes to the Internet to express themselves.
An e-girl is a popular trend that started on the internet and is a sub-culture of the scene aesthetic of the 2000s, KPop and rave culture This style typically consists of plaid mini skirts, striped long-sleeved shirts, heart stamps under the eyes and bleached hair.
Being a goth and being an eGirl/eBoy are two completely different things. The terms ‘goth’ and ’emo’ come with a lot of negative, misconceiving stereotypes, and unfortunately they’re tied in with these so-called ‘ePeople’. It developed from gothic rock, an offshoot of the post-punk genre.
Yes, while emo has no doubt been wounded, it’s certainly not dead. Of course enormous acts like Paramore and Fall Out Boy are still selling out arenas, but many of their contemporaries of the mid 2000s are also still kicking their fair share of ass.
