The term “E-boy” has emerged thanks to TikTok. But what exactly are they?

An e-boy is a type of boy with emo-inspired style and a popular online presence. E-boys are typically characterized by their skater clothes, black nail polish, extensive use of chains on their jeans, dangly earrings, and middle parted hair. They usually wear striped long-sleeved shirts under graphic tees, loose-legged pants, and silver rings.

Chase Hudson, also known as Lil Huddy, is one of the most famous e-boys on TikTok with over 25 million followers. He’s also one of the founders of Hype House.
