Sorry it took so long, but here's my new Fashion From My Perspective post about Seapunk.

Seapunk is a very new subculture, that origined from social network sites like Twitter and Tumblr. The subculture is still wearing training wheels, but it's already starting to gather speed. For the music, Seapunk is a funky, bass and juke like genre that uses samples from video games and other sea like movies, music, etc. Fire For Effect is a Los Angeles based Seapunk producer and loves the sound of liquid, tranquil, and ocean sounds. Another example of Seapunk music is Unicorn Kid, you can listen to one of his tracks below. It's hard to say what the first splash was; it could have been the Tropicult EP Zombelle released with fellow swimmer Myrrh Ka Ba in July. It might be the frequent postings about aquatic lifestyles that Lil' Wayne did a while back. Or maybe it's just fun to create music like this. It's very difficult to describe what Seapunk exactly is, because it's at that perfect level where the sound is still undefined, but immediately recognizable.
What's so special about Seapunk is that, with the very little Seapunk music availlable due to the extremely short time span it's been around for, people began to post stuff on Tumblr and Twitter that defined the sound of Seapunk. Think a mix of aqua colours like turqoise, plus bubbles, yin yangs and dolphines. Like the music, I find it hard to descibe the Seapunk fashion. Here are some pictures:

As you can see, the fashion matches the aqua-like vibe Seapunk has, and I think that aqua-vibe is the main thing that describes the fashion. I can't really tell what kind of clothes you should buy if you are looking for a Seapunk look, just take your inspiration from the images in this post and other Seapunk pictures on the internet, and dye your hair turqoise or blue if your parents allow you to. I hope that you've learned more about Seapunk from this post, and I really hope the subculure will continue to grow and become more defined, and maybe even mainstream. That would be pretty cool.
