Hustle culture dies - 2014 Tumblr grunge is revived Those who came of age in the peak era of Tumblr (myself included) may be wondering how the hell did we end up back here? While the time period (and the platform) was notorious for its glamorisation of unhealthy behaviours (a time before it was widely recognised that specific body types are not trends nor anything to aspire to or promote) the time was also paramount in defining the new youth culture through music, fashion and art, and - arguably - shaped the nature of what social media as a whole would evolve into.īut, despite the flaws of the era, there is something to be said for the way its grainy imagery, pastel accents and grunge-inspired notes became a hallmark of the first social media generation. IMAGINE BEING A TEENAGER IN 2014 I WOULD ACTUALLY KILL FOR THAT- Anna-Maria ♡’s 400yow August 3, 2022 So, dig out your tattoo chokers, pastel record players and Doc Martens because Gen Z have discovered the look - and they want in. In fact, #2014Tumblr has now garnered more than 232 million uses on TikTok, with #GrungeAesthetic and #TumblrAesthetic amassing 611 million and 46.6 million uses respectively. If social media is telling us anything right now, it is that a portal has opened and it is taking us right back to the mid-2010s - specifically, the era dubbed ‘2014 Tumblr grunge’. TUMBLR / / / YOU BEEN noticing suspiciously grainy photos popping up on your Instagram feed as of late? Or perhaps you’ve seen the Teenage Dirtbag trend sweeping TikTok? Or suddenly clicked that everyone is into wired headphones, messy makeup and pastel pink hair again?
