An aesthetic popular on the social media website tumblr, typically consisting of photos with a light haze over them, angels, statues, pastel paintings, cemeteries, knives, dolls and/or doll parts, blood, and light gore. Morute encompasses a variety of styles, primary soft pastel and gothic/morbid with a chilling, mysterious vibe. The term 'morute' is an amalgamation of the words 'morbid' and 'cute', which defines the aesthetic.

The term was coined by tumblr blogger, 47cm, in early 2017.

Nicole Dollanganger, a singer who fits this aesthetic very well both lyrically and appearance-wise, is known to be one of the people whom had assisted in making this a popular aesthetic.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
