Alright pal, fill me in. What's dark academia?
Okay so Ill try my best to give you the rundown.
Dark academia was originally a book/movie genre. The common tropes where murder, friendships, rebellion from social norms, and social class differences. Some of these tropes are now apart of the dark academia aesthetic as we know it today. Now here is Where things get tricky. There has been a lot of disagreements about what the dark academia community does and does not agree with. We obviously have human decency and never shame or make less of anybody but, there has been a lot of people not liking and complaining about the pretentious and dark parts of the community, so they decided to make there own academia communities. Those communities being light and grey academia.
I personally enjoy classical and jazz music, but if your not into that i will list some artists that i think fit into the dark academia aesthetic below (I apologize for not knowing more):
The Picture of Dorian Gray
Honestly anything by Oscar Wilde
Anything considered “Classic Literature”
Sleepless nights from studying
Multiple cups of black coffee
Sipping tea while listening to music and reading a book
The smell of cigarette smoke on your clothes
The sound of frantic clicking of a typewriter
Dramatically draping your body over a chair
Crying in your bathtub thinking of your ex lover
Staring at an art piece for much to long
Having heated discussions with friends
Rushing to class with stacks of books in your hands
I hope this is slightly helpful, feel free to ask more questions if you wish. I also apologize if this was too long of an explanation.
