13 August 2019, 17:29
A step by step guide to VSCO girls - from hydro flasks to scrunchies.
VSCO girls are breaking the internet and honestly we couldn't be more obsessed with them.
Every now and then the internet births a new cultural stereotype and they take on a whole life of their own. Over the past few years alone we've seen Fiat 500 Twitter (a UK based phenomenon), Instagram baddies (flawless queens) and horse girls (the greatest mystery of mankind) all vie for the attention of the World Wide Web. While more traditional sub-categories of teens and people at large still exist (jocks aren't going anywhere), these new cultures are thriving.

What is a VSCO girl and how do you become one?
The top comment on Urban Dictionary describes VSCO girls as "the tumblr girls of 2019, you’ll probably catch them wearing a scrunchie, tube top, puka shell necklace, white vans or birkenstocks and don’t forget the hydroflask to finish off the look".
They also edit all of their photos with the VSCO app and UD refers to them as "basically the most basic girl you’ll find out there", they hate plastic straws and they say "sksksk and i oop oop" all the time.

Don't let that put you off though, VSCO girls are a movement and, basic or not, they're running 2019. Just take a look at any of the main social media apps and you'll see VSCO girls dominating. In fact, they're so popular that people are now making VSCO girl parodies on (@koobydoobydoobydoo's has 10 million views on TikTok) and VSCO girl tutorials (Mai Pham's has 767,000 views on YouTube). Better yet, they've inspired iconic memes.
