A fashion sub-culture (originated on tumblr) that is heavily inspired by Japanese "kawaii" street fashion mixed with elements of goth and grunge fashion. Usually worn with pastel, dark, occult, scary, and cutesy accessories and hair colors/wigs. Vintage elements are also welcome.
Commonly misinterpreted as a part of goth (it is a subset of goth) fashion and wrongly accused of being a poser fashion. Pastel goth is strictly a fashion asthetic, not an identity (no intention of involvement in gothic or grunge culture or music) nor do pastel goths/nu goths identify as goth, pastel goth, grunge, etc.
Pastel goth is also synonymous with creepy cute, pastel goth lolita, and nu goth.

I love how she coordinates her ripped black sweater and pastel purple skirt with hair bows and a studded choker, so pastel goth.

Pastel goth (might include soft grunge or nu goth), is a new trend where usually girls (on Tumblr) will dye their hair pastel colors, wear hipster/vintage-looking clothing that vaguely) promotes goth images, and blend cutesy images/colors with skulls, inverted crosses, etc. They try to justify their look as gothic with a pastel color palette although it is more reminiscent of a lighter emo/scene look. Often looked down upon by many goths as posers (most pastel goths don't actually listen to goth music or enjoy its true elements). Also disliked by Nirvana fans because of their loose use of the term grunge to describe themselves.
Girl A: Dude, check out those cute faded lilac short shorts! Soo cute.
Pastel Goth: Yea totally! They'll go great with my Actual Pain sweater!

Pastel Gangster- Pastel Gangster is someone who is very sweet and innocent, until you mess with them or someone they love.
They know how to be polite and reserved at the right moments, but also has a mouth full of quick, sharp, and sassy comebacks.
Pastel because their outward appearance is usually either; bright, reserved, and flowing.
Gangster because you wouldn't expect what comes out when you hit a nerve. Fist raised, bold stance, and oozing confidence.
