What is an e-girl?

An e-girl is a type of internet personality, predominantly found on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Twitch, characterized by a specific aesthetic and online persona. This aesthetic typically involves bright, colorful makeup, often including blush and eyeliner, unique hairstyles, and clothing styles that blend cute and edgy elements. E-girls often engage with their audiences through interactive content, gaming streams, and comedic skits. The term has evolved beyond a purely aesthetic descriptor to encompass a community and subculture defined by online interaction and self-expression. While initially associated with a certain look, the term’s meaning has broadened to include a wider range of personalities and styles. Examples include influencers who use vibrant filters and participate in online trends, or gamers who stream themselves playing and engaging with chat.
