It is kind of interesting how girls with dyed hair, piercings, tattoos and generally vaguely goth/alternative vibes and rebellious attitudes used to be seen as sexy and often inserted as aspirational waifus in media aimed at boys and young men. Insert the girl from Extreme Ghostbusters here
And there’s almost always a political element to it too, with alt looks acting as a stand in for being anti establishment, and conservative types pushing their own “traditional” beauty instead (which in America points back at what was popular in the 50s).

Another proof that beauty is culturally determined.

So Ramona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim lol?
