‘Blue Neighbourhood’ Ten Years On: Troye Sivan’s Contribution To Tumblr Culture

Troye Sivan, the Australian pop artist, is best known for his song  ‘One Of Your Girls’, which went viral after for his iconic drag look and Ross Lynch’s cameo, hitting charts across the world in 2023. But, before there were trending sounds and TikTok videos, there was the pastel grunge moodiness of mid 2010’s tumblr – and Troye Sivan was one of the artists to spearhead it. Tumblr, a popular microblogging app, was a formative part of thousands of Gen Z’s teenage years. It was a place of community, where people all over the world connected over a specific aesthetic – ripped fishnet tights, messy space buns, choker necklaces, and pastel anything. A major part of this aesthetic was the alt-pop music that defined this era – Lana Del Rey’s ‘Ultraviolence’, The 1975’s self-titled album, Halsey’s ‘Badlands’, and of course Troye Sivan’s debut album, ‘Blue Neighbourhood’. — — Gen Z, now no longer teenagers, carry an obvious nostalgia for the time they spent as a part of this internet subculture, listening to the music which came out of it. In 2023, The 1975 bagged a last minute slot at Reading Festival to fill in for Lewis Capaldi. When the band announced
