These are the iced out, bling bling, gangsta version of your favorite- cartoon characters? As we've seen iced out shirts featuring Biggie, Tupac, and Scarface- cartoon characters are getting a face lift, too. The best one I've seen is this [gangsta Spongebob](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spongebob-squarepants-capsule). Notice the mean mug, pimp outfit, ca$h money, and the bling bling! In the place of his chains and iced out teeth are rhinestones and glitter. Sesame Street just ain't keepin it real anymore. I found some at an [eBay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canal-street-wear) store named Mother Yolanda's Designer T-Shirts. So if you're in a big rich suburb, no worries, you can get your thug on as well! She has other designs and cartoons too! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Gangsta Cartoon Streetwear:** Opportunity for fashion brands to create urban, hip-hop-inspired clothing with cartoon characters portrayed in a gangsta style. - **Iced Out Fashion:** Potential for jewelry and accessories brands to create blinged-out products featuring rhinestones and glitter. - **Cartoon Character Reinterpretation:** Demand for artists and designers to reimagine beloved cartoon characters with a gangster twist. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can tap into the trend of gangsta cartoon streetwear to attract urban, hip-hop-loving consumers. - **Jewelry:** Jewelry and accessories brands can capitalize on the popularity of iced out fashion to create blinged-out products. - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers have the opportunity to reinterpret cartoon characters in a gangsta style, catering to the demand for unique and edgy artwork. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cartoon Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stan-smith-x-spongebob-squarepants.md) - [Expansive Cartoon Lifestyle Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/official-spongebob-squarepants-collection.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Apparel Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spongebob-squarepants-capsule.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freizeit.md) - [Legacy Artist-Themed T-Shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gap-1.md) - [Bedazzled Anime Pendants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/king-ice-x-pokmon.md) - [Cartoon Character Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spongebob-squarepants-x-crocs.md) - [Paranormal Cartoon Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/journal-standard-2.md) - [Rapper-Starring Anime Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunchyroll-2.md)
