Being a Tumblr thing made by 14yo girls doesn't mean we can't work with that.
I mean, we can intercept the wave, make subtle changes to it's core and continue to spread it.
For example the whole Dark Academia thing could be based upon crypto-fascist academic societies, theosophical occult clubs in univercities, secret student meetings, see Thule Society as the model.
We already have the solid base, the traditionalist XX century academic style, admiration for antiquity and past times.
All we have to do is to add some details that will work in our way.
I think it could be better attempt than all the previous failures like "fashwave" of "moseleycore" of anything nazi-related I witnessed here. It' subtle, it's traditional, it's disciplined, it's sharp, it's easy to pull, it will look good in the eyes of ordinary people, nothing is cringy or suspicious. It's not screaming "HITLER" for the sake of edge (in fact Hitler hated the secret societies so he banned them).
The whole thing recalls romantics of 1910-1930 Germany with sudents and academics unsure of the future, drinking away their traumatic war experience they were unprepared for, digging the ancient tractates for a new perspective, desperate to find a vital philosophy and meaning.
Yeah that sounds like Dark Academia to me.
