Pop-horror is an internet aesthetic and artistic movement that blends elements of bubblegum pop, YA, and pastel/soft aesthetics with horror.
Although the broad parameters of "pop-horror" may encapsulate many works of film, music, and literature throughout the ages, pop-horror is mainly thought of as a contemporary, online phenomenon. The term "pop-horror" was first coined by the internet artist's collective Count the Clock.
The common "pop" elements used by pop-horror include pastel colors (especially pink and blue), high-school iconography (cheerleaders, prom queens), and the use of bubblegum pop music. The "horror" elements commonly employed include gore and stylized violence, as well as psychological themes such as paranoia and the uncanny.

A "sub-genre" of Roblox Horror Story Games that are cheap knock-offs of a game called "The Night-Shift Experience". They're most commonly known for having a thumbnail of a man crying blood out of his empty, dark eye sockets whilst wearing something and/or being in some place that relates to the experience.
Person 1: Bro, Roblox horror experiences are so trash!
Person 2: I know, right? They're so boring and they're everything but scary.
Person 1: Honestly, I prefer NEED MORE games.
Person 2: Bro, what the fuck?
