Tag yourself as types of academia aesthetics I’ve seen
all songs can be found in my dark academia playlist here
Classic: ‘Instant Coffee’ by Bugs
organised desks glazed in a warm hue, chewing on the plastic cap on your pens, creating revision notes that look like art work, mugs of warm beverages embellishing your window sill, blanking out the world by a wall of study playlists, caramel glittered mornings or velvet wrapped nights
Dark: ‘Achilles Come Down’ by Gang of Youths
falling in love with the dark shadows that fall into the creases of the book shop, stinging liquid from opal bottles, adorning your body in shades of check and cream, desperate kisses exploding sparks in the obsidian, drowning nights spent scribbling your thoughts
Light: ‘Rosie’ by The Kooks
wildflowers pressed between browned books, soaking in poetry under the lukewarm sunlight, sweet cups of tea comforting your throat, bathing in shades of pastel and neutral, oversized glasses and drowning sweaters, organising your studying time in floral planners
Nature: ‘Freedom’ by Teddy Hyde
adorning your body in shades of the earth, completing essays encouraged by insects and birds, admiring the shades of the leaves and tree trunks, bedrooms drowning in ivy explorers, botanical posters converting your walls into a museum, naming every insect you meet
City: ‘Sugar’ by The Hails
losing your balance on the cobbled stones that line the streets, studying in public libraries surrounded by tiresome students, falling in love with the old fashioned building unloved along a back street, catching your reflection in the makeshift mirrors that embellish the pavement
Witchy: ‘Work Song’ by Hozier
working under the sprinkling of silver that dusts the midnight skies, absentmindedly stroking your cat as you work, splotches of obsidian ink creating abstract monsters on your page, working under the embers of candlelight, wisps of ghosts ballroom dancing in the smoke
