The April 2023 pop culture list is packed with various celebrity-backed releases such as the Snoop Dogg-owned record label turned cannabis brand and anime-inspired product launches like the Asus limited-edition Evangelion-themed WiFi router.
Artificial intelligence also plays a big role in the April 2023 pop culture trends as many independent designers are creating various conceptual mash-ups. From the futuristic motorcycle helmets inspired by Hasbro's Transformers (specifically Bumblebee and Megatron) to superhero-inspired car designs, the AI-generated product trend is entertaining and encourages creativity.
Cartoon aesthetics continue to thrive in the fashion space, as well. Heritage footwear company Red Wing Shoes recently teamed up with Nintendo and Illumination. The result was a pair of boots, inspired by Super Mario Bros. The release comes as a celebration of the franchise's upcoming movie premiere.
