Glamourpunk, Seeliepunk, and Unseeliepunk
Idk how terms get coined on this site but imma coin some terms.
Glamourpunk is a general term for the modern-day faery aesthetic.
What’s that, you ask? Well, it’s not really the sweet and tiny sort of flower fairies—though it can incorporate that style. It’s faeries in a sense that’s closer to the original mythology. Think of all the dark faery writing prompts and stuff you might see on certain corners of Tumblr. Something is glamourpunk if you could imagine that kind of fae, integrated into city society, wearing or looking like that.
It’s edgy, it’s stylish, it’s youth/party culture, but with an otherworldly magical twist.
(The “glamour,” for those who know faery lore, refers to faerie magic and illusion/enchantment.)
There’s also seeliepunk and unseeliepunk, which would be similar but more specifically based on the main courts. Basically optional subsets of glamourpunk.
Here are some pictures that I’d consider glamourpunk. Obviously there’s a ton of variation given the definition I made above, but these are just a few of my examples:
