Seapunk style.



In fashion and trend terms Seapunk is a fairly new subculture to emerge. Seapunk is an 'online' style which is construction from the love of music , url imagery, fashion and sea life. The style was first started sometime in 2011 where a Brooklyn based dj better known as lil internet tweeted to his followers the sentence 'SEAPUNK LEATHER JACKET WITH BARNACLES WHERE THE STUDS USED TO BE'. The seapunk style experiment with the difference between URL an IRL and often use internet inspired imagery in their art , fashion and styling.
Seapunk style is also influenced by seapunk music , this music is a hybrid of techno synths and aquatic sound effects , this style was made popular by underground DJ's such as ULTRADEMON who is a follower of Seapunk fashion  and style.
Seapunk has became a fairly commercial trend in recent months as artists such as Rihanna and Azealia
Banks have used Seapunk imagery in their music videos and performances. Rihanna's SNL performance showed a strong use of Seapunk 'green screen' imagery and Azealia Bank's video for Atlantis shows her  dressed in Seapunk fashion on a green screen background which shows Seapunk images and doplhin imagery.
Many followers of Seapunk style including popular socialites Lil Interent and Zombella are angry at the commercial uprise of the Seapunk movement.
The Seapunk style is supported with aquatic imagery and sealife imagery. It is an exciting , fresh style that is taking the underground by storm.
