Are there even any actual Dark Academia books? I've never heard of any. It basically just seems to be an aesthetic. Actually, not just books, I've never heard of any Dark Academia music, or movies, or plays, or works of visual art.

>>24531929
??? Millenials had a far better start in life than zoomers. Pre internet, no COVID, at least you could afford a car and some of you could get a house.

Zero zoomed own a house
Most zoomers can't afford a car
Zoomers can't even afford to fucking drink.
And most zoomers had a major life milestone completely deleted by COVID. Either high school or college or both. For me, I lost out on college.

Fuck you with this millenial bullshit. You're such fucking whiners. You invented victim politics, you can't even let actual victims suffer peacefully.

>It basically just seems to be an aesthetic.
Yes, that's literally all it is. It's barely even a clothing style - hardly anybody wears it - it's mostly just a tumblr blog aesthetic.

>>24533689
It's the costume you wear in your tiktok videos about wishing your literature teacher had fucked you.

Dark academia isn't a real thing, it's just some tumblr shit. I'm tired of people pretending that this is some type of real fashion or (sub)cultural trend.

>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ZOOMIES STOP BEING INTERESTED IN HIGH ART AND THE WESTERN CANON YOU HAVE TO WASTE YOUR YOUTH PRETENDING TO BE AN IRONIC LUNBERJACK AND TATTOO MOUSTACHES ON YOUR FINGERS AND CHUG IPAS UNTIL YOU GET A BEER GUT BY 20 LIKE MEEEEEEEEEE

Why are millenniboomers like this?

>>24531732 (OP)
for me it is vivian

>>24533603
she sounds cute

>>24534307
Dark Academia is a (late) millennial trend that's been picked up by zoomers. It makes no sense at all. Pretending to be an ivy league WASP while thrifting wool clothing in black or neutral tones and sticking the word gothic somewhere in the description doesn't legitimize the "aesthetic". It's pure larp.

>>24533577
>at least you could afford a car and some of you could get a house
Unironically this. If you're 35+ and don't own a house it's absolutely 100% your fault. Zoomers didn't have the same pre mass immigration cheap housing market and flourishing job market like millenniboomers did

>>24534379
owning a house is such a scam

Secret history

>>24534370
Dark academia is different to west coast rich, it has more bongaboo vibes

>>24533567
The Secret History? Dead Poets Society?
If We Were Villains? (Although this one is dogshit)

>>24533652

Yes, anon. You did.

>>24534465
Sorry, east cost rich, brain fart

>>24534465

>WASP
>west coast rich
What?
And I know it's got bong connotations, but there are schools on the east coast of the U.S. that have gothic architecture across their campuses. Schools these larpers can not afford to attend, just like they can't afford to attend the schools in England or Scotland.

>>24534502
it happens to us all

>>24533567
Secret History as anons pointed out, but there's also a lot of Harry Potter as you can see from OP.
It's basically the aesthetic Waugh is trying to create under rationing, so any of his books with lists of good food
It's an imagined historical idealistic concept, basically the external fashion of the daydream
>If I had been taken to Hogwarts/Oxbridge on a full scholarship
the actual answer is you probably would have had a tailor

>>24534506
they probably can afford eng or scot universities because they're all covered by grants or loans (esp. for international students). but this fashion doesn't have uk connotations at all it's 110% coastal elite wasp.

why are people so up in arms over this? this doesnt even look like a real thing, niggas too caught up in da internets lmaooo

>>24534506
>Schools these larpers can not afford to attend
Yeah, and people can't afford going to Oxford but they still love Harry Potter. What's your point? Precisely that makes it attractive as a fantasy.

>>24534590
oxford is free

>>24531807
Why haven't we created a new genre?

>>24534588
>>24534590
It's an completely artificial genre/subculture with no basis in reality. Even if it was real it has no distinguishing features. This whole thing is riding on two or three infographics from tumblr that keep getting posted year after year. "Dark Academics" sound stupid and are big fat phonies.

If you go to college you're probably retarded.

>>24534522
But most of us are men, and if we'd been men at Oxford or Cambridge we'd have dressed something like this.

>>24534942
this is a pic of three americans

>>24534982
I guess my point is, why focus on what's fundamentally a female aesthetic if you're a man?

>>24534999
men typically focus more on girls than other men

>>24535005
The goal of a real man is to make a woman follow his lead.

>>24535023
by... needing approval from other men?

>>24531732 (OP)
I hate to admit that I kinda like the fashion style/aesthetic. Shame it’s associated with this “dark academia” faggotry though

>>24531807
there were no detectives before, they just tortured and killed some dude that looked guilty

>>24535147
no one was drafted to serve in iraq - the military was all-volunteer at that time

>>24535159
the draft and selective service are not the same thing, correct. but you can't just dodge recruiters. you have to see if you qualify.

>>24531732 (OP)
is this even popular anymore?

>>24535177
recruiters don’t have the power to force anyone to enlist. you have to voluntarily join the military if you want to serve

>>24531732 (OP)
I bought a 'dark academia' fit the other week. It's basically a white linen dress shirt, some old timey brown wool texture pants, and some brown combat boots that honestly look like they belong at a renne faire but whatever. Shirt looks great on me when it's tucked in because I'm /fit/. If me and my gf ever break up I'm gonna put it on and go walk around a Barnes & Noble pretending to peruse the YA and poetry sections until a girl in a cardigan and overlarge glasses strikes up a conversation with me.

>>24535183
yes, but you have to register with them regardless. if you simply don't its treason.

>>24535190
registering for selective service means you’re on the list if a draft is ever called. which didn't happen during the iraq war

>>24535079
This style of dress is just normal tweed and clothes one would wear if they went to prep or catholic schools in the current year of our lord. Literally nothing strange or unique about dressing this way in 2025, and no one irl will look at you and think dark academia, you'll just look like someone that dresses in a slightly vintage style. So if you live in a cool climate, just go for it.

>>24534748

>>24534942
Lel no, Oxbridge is famous for places that won't let you eat unless their preferred tailor sold you something
>most of us are men
Most of what dark academia consists of is sportswear. University students (especially in the US, because see above for UK) like modern university students, hate formal wear. Especially the kind you have to wear when in large cities. They also love crawling out of bed and into sportswear. Tweed, knitted vests and ties, even the derby shoe, are all country and sportswear which you shouldn't be wearing to college.
Worse, in the US there were women's colleges where the women really did not like the several formal and heavy uniforms they would need to attend, so they started showing up in the era's equivalent of male sweats and sneakers, bought from the same sporting goods store, Brookes Brothers
Then a women's fashion magazine published it and prep style became the equivalent of a Stanley cup
>Tldr: if you didn't wear a suit to uni everyday, you probably would have worn plus fours, and rich and popular girls would have stolen them and your clubs for a photoshoot back then too

If my bank balance goes up from $0.00 and I get a job for once, I will buy a Donna Tartt book. Why? Because this aesthetic is appealing. Sorry, not sorry.

It's rather telling that the details given about these women hardly differentiate them at all. They're just a list of vaguely quirky interests and habits that we are supposed to associate with intelligence or class. It's a strange egalitarian elitism, and I honestly find it a little repulsive. Seeing women adopt these aesthetics is cute at first, but it always descends into the same midwit narcissism

>>24534307
Whoever made the image (and dark academia fags in general) are NOT into the western canon.

>>24536243

This was a 2000 thing, did zoomers just discover it?
It was an /fa/tumbler meme which came out of prep, it was original called something else. I got to wear leather to uni and was drowning in puss, even had a Miniture pepper mill to grind coffee and a tiny, tiny French mocha pot.

But that was literally 10, 15 years ago. Fuck knowns what happens on campus now
