A summer where vaporwave, egirls, cyberpunk, afrofuturism, nugoth, and pastel goth girls can enjoy looking and dressing weird and fantastical without giving a fuck about what people think about them or their clothes. They are unapologetically rocking spacey alternative fashion and having fun.

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.
