A 23-year-old man from New Jersey, USA calls himself a ‘chaotic colourful monster’ as he wears colorful, monstrous outfits inspired by films such as The Exorcist and Monster’s Inc.
Daniel Perera, who loves wearing colorful, monstrous outfits, says his style is very chaotic, very monstrous and very colourful.
He told Barcroft TV: “I love colours, I love patterns, I love monsters and I love so much of like the horror aesthetic. Eventually, I knew they were all going to combine into one. I started experimenting my look about three or four years ago. I did pastels and then one day I was really interested in primary colours.”
“Slowly that moved into neon and then I always had an interest for monsters, so I was like can I be one. I want to experiment and be one so I started wearing horns and I started putting on fake teeth. I was doing special effects and eventually it worked. It’s exactly what I wanted.”
Daniel, who was bullied at school, said about his school days: “In elementary and middle school, unfortunately, I was bullied. They called me faggot. They called me lazy. They called me slow and it, it hurt. It really did hurt.”
“But eventually in high school, that kind of stopped and it went from bullying to playful play arguing and once I learned about play arguing, it was a little easier to cope with someone actually trying to insult me.”
“Then eventually it turned it to like I don’t really care about what you say. Like, screw you.”
However, his family, especially his mother Simone doesn’t like his dressing style. He said: “My family, at first day, did not like it. It was sad at one point because my mother was like so scared for my safety.”
“When I see my mother, my outfits are not this extreme. She knows what I am doing but it’s more like I want to respect her decision of not really seeing that because I know how much it makes her nervous, if I step outside.”

“And I would be thinking that I am a liar and I don’t need to call myself a liar anymore because I can look at my Instagram and look back at my photos, I can look at my Facebook and I can say, ‘no you did it, you did those things and congratulations.’”
“You actually did it, you wore what you wanted.”
