From what I've gathered — from Instagram, Twitter, and other social media — VSCO girls are "basic" and they know it. At their core, they're self-aware, socially-conscious, eco-friendly, and masters at visually pleasing online aesthetics. Here's what else you should know:
1. They are all about positive vibes and creating a positive environment online:
vsco is such a positive environment: wanna constant post ab your boyf? yes girl you go. wanna only post ab your pup? heck yes we’re here for this. wanna post ab every meal you eat? plz gal I wanna see that açaí bowl. it allows you to be who you are w no judgment & that’s amazing
2. They say "SKSKSK" and "and I ooop":
no one: absolutely not a soul: vsco girls:
"SKSKSK" is supposed to be a keyboard smash, which originated in the black community, and "And I oop-" is the famous Jasmine Masters meme.
3. They love being eco-friendly:
ok but i really like VSCO girl culture?? it really encourages being eco friendly and supportive to women? the sleepovers, the advice girls r giving to others... the whole aesthetic is so sunshiny and friendly and the clothes r cute too
4. This means flaunting reusable water bottles:

5. And metal or paper straws:
-Use paper/metal straws (save the turtles 🤭🐢)
6. They LOVE when the sky changes:

10. Vans:
11. Or Crocs:
12. Messy hair:
13. Shell necklaces:
14. Their backpack of choice is Kanken brand:

15. And their laptops are all always covered in cute stickers:
16. VSCO girls often skate:
17. And wear a shitload of these bracelets:
18. They love a good positivity quote:
In conclusion, I'm kind of here for this new persona. They may get parodied online, but at their core, this new movement is one that encourages people to be environmentally conscious, kind, and positive. How could you not stan?
