The 'Tumblr Nose' (also referred to as 'Red Nose Syndrome') refers to a specific digital illustration trend that became ubiquitous on Tumblr during the mid-2010s. Characterized by characters having excessively red or pink noses regardless of the scene's context, the style was intended to look cute or 'sun-kissed' but eventually became a point of ridicule. Critics mocked the style for being repetitive and nonsensical, often grouping it with the broader 'Calarts' aesthetic debate. Today, the meme serves as a nostalgic callback to a specific era of internet art, frequently used to parody overly stylized character designs or to poke fun at the earnestness of early social media art communities.
