When you think of Tumblr, you often recall the aesthetic movement that captivated the internet from 2012 to 2016. During these years, various aesthetic categories emerged from the photo-sharing platform itself. Many users became deeply dedicated to these themes, transforming their rooms and wardrobes to align with specific aesthetics. It was quite poetic, in a way. Teenagers all around the world would share their themed photos, bond over similar music tastes, and blog about their feelings. Many of these styles are making a comeback, and with these three songs, you’ll feel like you’re back in the prime aesthetic era of Tumblr.
