Among the top-trending “Gen Z aesthetics” searches, “pink aesthetic” ranked in the top spot. It is followed by “grunge aesthetic,” “Y2K aesthetic,” “soft girl aesthetic” and “old money aesthetic.”

Related searches included those for tracksuits, skeleton zip-up hoodies, low-rise jeans, baby Ts and miniskirts.
