The e-girl and e-boy (meaning "electronic girl/boy") is a niche fashion trend or aesthetic that emerged at the end of the 2010s and is almost exclusively seen on online social media, in particular as a persona depicted on the video sharing application TikTok. The look is inspired by skater culture, '90s fashion, anime, hip-hop, goth, and rave.

The persona of the e-girl and e-boy is usually depicted by teenagers from their bedrooms. Their alternative fashion choices commonly consist of baggy, thrifted clothes, hair coloured in shades of green or pink, unkempt nail polish, and decorative chains. E-girls wear mesh shirts and winged eyeliner, while e-boys wear black clothers and have floppy, middle-parted hair. Both boys and girls wear a heavy amount of makeup, in particular pink blush on the cheeks and nose, imitating Japanese lolita girls. Fake freckles are common. Small shapes are often drawn under the eyes, usually heart shapes.
