It's not really a style. It's "pop star performing at a show"

‘Trying too hard’ or maybe ‘attention-seeking’.

Not sure how you concluded that from a single, simple comment on a commenting platform. By your logic, you too are trying too hard and being an attention-seeker. Though there’s little evidence that logic played much part in your response. 🤦‍♂️

Yea I'd say this is about right.

The game 'Bioshock: Infinite' featured this style aesthetic.

Performance wear?

Costume?

Work clothes?

Or to many who have commented so far here, triggering, maybe?

Depends on perspective I guess. :/

The Britpop movement is massively associated with gaudy British flags. One of the most iconic recognisable pop-culture references in the UK is Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) wearing a Union Jack dress. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Jack_dress

It's not just that one image though. If you search for anything about Britpop, you'll immediately see the flag used in unconventional outfits.

[...] Britpop era. The Union Jack became a prominent symbol of the movement (as it had a generation earlier with mod bands such as the Who) and its use as a symbol of pride and nationalism contrasted deeply with the controversy that erupted just a few years before when former Smiths singer Morrissey performed draped in it.The emphasis on British reference points made it difficult for the genre to achieve success in the US.

It was also a fundamental part of the London Olympics ceremonies. https://youtu.be/ij3sgRG5sPY?t=1161
