For one, despite most of these pictures being centered around "romantic" scenes, the focus is always on Kinkade's backgrounds. The subjects of these paintings need to be made small enough to accommodate and not take focus away from these backgrounds.

Mall Gothic
Mall Gothic desired to return goth back to its roots after the overly-commercial Whimsigoth style of the 90s. Stark blacks, whites and reds, alongside inky, sketchy lineart, the popularity of nu metal and emo kept Mall Gothic alive for all of the 00s. 
Bubblegum Pop
An offshoot of Ultramodern Millennial, Bubblegum Pop drew a lot more from the fun-loving disco culture of the late 70s while still giving it a modern edge. Being the primary aesthetic marketed towards young girls of the early 00s, femininity was great emphasized. 
Metalheart
Named after the Andreas Lindholm book of the same name, Metalheart became a popular aesthetic in the early 00s as result of the success of The Matrix. Its biopunk maximalism and edgy futurism would eventually become over-saturated and it was gone by 2004.

SamSho devs: oh most viciously.
