What Is An E-Girl?
An e-girl is an internet slang term, which combines the word "Electronic" with "Girl." E-girls have become incredibly popular in the late 2010s, and going into the 2020s, they have almost become a natural occupant of the internet space. The label usually represents people (particularly women) who have a large online presence and associate their personality and style with skate culture, gaming, and others.
With the launch of TikTok, e-girls/e-boys became a definitive style, with many people posting compilations of e-girls/boys on YouTube (shown below). Many "e-girl" content creators have risen to popularity in a very short time frame, and as the presence of E-girls became normalized, creators like Hannah OwO have done nothing but thrive.
