Schizowave

Schizowave is a derivative aesthetic of Fashwave that is associated with beliefs into higher races and deities. Schizowave is amalgamation of various conspiracy "theories" ranging from Nordic aliens to hollow earth civilizations. Glorification of philosophers such as Jonathan Bowden. Schizowave’s name references the disorders Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective, commonly characterized by paranoid delusions and hallucinations. These disorders unfortunately are heavily stigmatized throughout media, and it is important to note and understand that people with schizophrenia are not all conspiracy theorists, and many find the name and the disorder being tied to this aesthetic offensive or harmful. There are some advocating for the lesser used names to be more widely used as to not associate the disorder with a stigma. Some fans of the aesthetic commonly associate it with pre Soviet conspiracy theories and attempt to link the disorder to said era as an explanation for the name, although the tie to schizophrenia is not there as the disorder had only been first noted to exist in 1887, 45 years before the start of the Soviet Union, and at that point, it was referred to as Dementia Praecox (essentially translating to childhood dementia.).
