My new favorite AESTHETIC is DARK ACADEMIA.
https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Dark_Academia
Some excerpts...Dark Academia is an aesthetic that revolves around classic literature, the pursuit of self-discovery, and a general passion for knowledge and learning. It is one of several variations, each with a unique historical focus. Dark Academia's best-known visual variations stem primarily from European cultures.
