Yume Kawaii
Yume Kawaii (ゆめかわいい) is a Japanese aesthetic that refers to pastel, dream-like things. Although it only recently came to light, it often embodies the appearance of classic shoujo manga with many sparkly designs and magical girl influences.
"Creamy Mami is just as popular as ever, and the pale pastel colored hair is very popular with Yume Kawaii girls."

Yami Kawaii
Yami Kawaii (病みかわいい) is a Japanese aesthetic that was originally born as opposite to the pastel Yume Kawaii aesthetic. The Japanese word "yami" can mean both "dark" or "sick", and refers to its use of dark colors and motifs related to sickness.

Menhera
Menhera (メンヘラ) is a Japanese slang term refering to people that are suffering from mental illness or are in need of mental health care. It is derived from the words "mental", "health", and the suffix "er", meaning "mental healther". Originally, it was born in 2channel's mental health board as a nickname for its users. Due to the negative stigma associated with mental health and illness, it is sometimes abused in a discriminating manner. However, in the recent years, it has evolved into a mental health awareness subculture that tries to change the view on mental health in Japan.
