Basically, but this logic, any visual subculture is mentally instable. Anime, gothic, punk, hardcore, etc.

In retrospect, you can say it screams mental instability but that's called confirmation bias.



No, there is a certain distinct style that is different from those other subcultures you have listed. One that is definitely linked with mental instability.

See timecube and "blacks for trump" as a reference.


I'm sorry to report that in my experience something like a 'schizophrenic aesthetic' does exist, at least in video.

I worked for years in the film industry, in a position where people would send videos over-the-transom to try to get financing and publicity for their projects.

Several of Ms. Aghdam's videos (i.e. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x39ovcb) look alarmingly similar to some that I received from people who were clearly not well.
