What Even Is a Twink, Anyway?
IF YOU LOOK a certain way—skinny, smooth-skinned, juvenile for your age—or even just expend a lot of time online, then there's a possibility that you might have heard the word "twink." This term, coined and originally used exclusively by gay men, refers to a man (usually in his late teens or early 20s), with a light build, and no body hair or facial hair. Youth and slightness of physique are the main characteristics: two celebrities who are most commonly cited as embodying the twink aesthetic are Timothée Chalamet and Troye Sivan, who represent a softer, slenderer alternative to the more typically swole male iconography that permeates culture.
There is some crossover here with the recently coined “rat boy” aesthetic, which similarly eschews hypermasculinity in favor of a kind of lean, goofy coolness.(Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor in the first half of Challengers, for instance, are both twinks and rodent boyfriends in turn.)

There are two major theories about the origin of this synonyms, both of which probably own elements of truth to them.
a) Twink comes from an acronym T.W.I.N.K. "Teenage, White, Into No Kink."
b) Twink is a shortening of the name for the famous "TWINKIE" snack cake: a tasty, cream-filled snack with no nutritional value. The phallic shape of the "TWINKIE" snack cake should not escape the reader's attention.
I don't like going to that club because it's nothing but a bunch of twinks.
