Whimsigoth

Whimsigoth is an internet aesthetic that incorporates the dark and moody characteristics of the gothic subculture with whimsical elements. Celestial themes, vintage bohemian styles and rich, layered textures are some common motifs in whimsigoth.

Its surreal and enigmatic tone can be found in fashion and interior design. Its popularity soared between the 1980s and early 1990s, corresponding with gothic-inspired pop/rock music, Tim Burton films and graphic design works of Margo Chase, Vrontikis, and to some extent, Vaughan Oliver.
