2014 tumblr grunge9/16/2023 ![]() ![]() In 2020 skinny jeans became unpopular amongst the younger generations, specifically Generation Z. The 2014 Tumblr Aesthetic revival, or, as it is referred to on TikTok, Tumblrcore, has a few notable differences. This was made clear when LA based influencer Kylie Jenner debuted blue-green dip dyed hair during her King Kylie-era in 2014, further popularizing the style. It is said that one of the most popular hair styles of the era, dip-dyed hair, originated in the Bleach London’s flagship salon in East London.

However, in 2014, my older sister was a senior in high school, and, in true little sister fashion, I needed to copy literally everything she did. The peak of the 2014 Tumblr Aesthetic came, admittedly, a little before my time. While trends are repeated over the years, there is always a slight variation from their original. History repeats itself, and the 2014 Tumblr Aesthetic is no exception.
