An Eboy is a youth subculture popular among young men who are stylishly chic, inspired by anime, goth and semi-emo fashion. The Eboy look first emerged online in 2018. By 2019, the aesthetic had gained widespread popularity on TikTok, a video-based social media platform popular among Gen Z audiences.

On TikTok, trends come and go. But a phenomenon that has carried on longer than most fashions is the Eboy style. The name can be regarded as “electronic boy,” and the outfit influence is sometimes referred to as an expression of progressiveness in fashion and gender politics among the male gender.

Sexuality and gender fluency are commonly expressed within the subculture, with Eboys showing themselves as more feminine. They like wearing makeup and shaving their facial hair to appear less manful.

And due to the development of the ideal male attractiveness from being masculine to being more effeminate, Eboys accept their timidity/vulnerability and broadcast these styles to the world via social media.

True Eboy style includes things that are more than just your clothing. It’s a lifestyle, so much that you’ll see some guys sport the same long, flowy hairstyle. Due to its K-Pop influences, it’s also famous among the trend’s followers to bleach or color their hair.
