A girl who tries to appear as 'mysterious', 'dangerous' or 'complicated', but is just a basic girl.
Spooky Girls' appearance is usually
goth-lite, with dark hair and makeup, in an attempt to differentiate themselves from more preppy girls that they perceive as 'basic'.
They usually have tattoos of birds or nature, as to appear 'gritty', but are inoffensive enough to still look
cute to boys.
They like mainstream shows and
music like "Wednesday" and Olivia
Rodrigo, which they think makes them 'dark' and 'complex', but which are actually formulaic and juvenile in their writing and production.
They also likely engage in mildly 'occult' practices, like owning a Tarot deck that they don't know how to use, and refer to their pets as "familiars" on
TikTok.
Braden: "
Wow, Autumn is such a mysterious girl."
Carla: "Nah, she's just a Spooky Girl. She just wears dark clothes and listens to mainstream
music. She works with me at
Dunkin."
