Mundane Halloween is changing how people approach Halloween. It’s called Jimi Halloween in Japan, where it started in 2014. Instead of dressing as witches or superheroes, people dress up as everyday situations. Think “person who spilled coffee on themselves” or “girl who started decluttering but ended up on her phone.”
Why is Mundane Halloween growing in popularity?
- It’s low-cost. You don’t need to buy a costume you’ll only wear once.
- It’s relatable. Everyone has had awkward, everyday moments.
- It’s creative. You get to turn simple situations into funny costumes.
- It’s low-effort. Just use items you already have around the house.
Mundane Halloween offers a practical alternative for people tired of the usual Halloween. It’s also a budget-friendly, environmentally conscious choice for those avoiding one-use costumes. Japan's Daily Portal Z team created this trend as a way for adults to join the Halloween fun without traditional costumes. Today, it’s become a full festival with people embracing everyday awkwardness.
