Pastel Punk is a term used to describe the style of stereotypical punk things (chains, spikes, combat boots, etc.) but in, or combined with, soft pastel colours. People who fit the aesthetic often dye their hair like regular punks as well, but opt for more pastel shades than electric dyes. The aesthetic was popular on Tumblr in the 2010s along with Pastel Grunge and Pastel Goth. A newer Pastel Punk exists now that is influenced by the Softgirl and E-girl aesthetics.
