Using aesthetics of Rosencranz as the basis, this study contains the peculiarities of 'ugliness' and the obscured conceptual meaning of 'avant-garde', 'grotesque', and 'decadence' that are being utilized under ambiguous significance are defined through modern fashion and fashion of online game characters. Forms of 'ugliness' expressed in modern fashion and in games characters display distortion of form through incongruity, unbalance, disproportion and disharmony, and with this lack of form and expressional imprecision, both contain the elements of comical characteristics of vulgarity and repugnance. The difference in 'ugliness' between modern fashion and game character fashion is, the significance of 'ugliness' being expressed in modern fashion challenges new concepts by refusing tradition and recovering the human nature that has become turbid. On the other hand, 'ugliness' in game character fashion complements the story of the game that uses legends, fantasies or novels as its basis. Opposed to the significance of recovering human nature that is displayed in modern fashion, in order to terminate the opposing game character, the fashion of game characters exaggerates the form of modern fashion with added brutality. In addition, with the advantage of virtual reality that allows a more flexible expression than in the real word, images created are more sensational and excessive use of grotesque images are being expressed.

The intention of affirmative decadence is realized by mixing heterogeneous styles and producing new things. Extreme decorative technique and gorgeousness are even mysterious and show the highest refinement.

The purpose of this study was to be of use for more successful prediction of possible Prevailing aesthetic characteristics in the future, by reviewing how decadent features have actually been unfolded in fashion and make-up since the end of 20th century, as we are now in the new 21st century. The decadent traits of modern fashion and make-up since the late'90s could be listed as follows : first, the fashion has intentionally been designed to look disgusting, where realistic and imaginary images coexist, by using a half-man, half-machine image or vividly describing detestable animal skin, There have also been disgusting features in the make-up, which are so extremely weird that we can created by adding vinyl or pieces of textiles like Patch of the 17th century. Second, the satanic character of the fashion seems to be meant to keep in harmony with evil image such as Dracula, witch, skeleton or warrior of the evil, in order to charge the unnatural, inhuman and fin-de-siecle Phenomenon and find out what It really means for the inner world of men. And the demonic expressions of the make-up chiefly use white or black color or blue color of low saturation or low lightness, and part of facial features is exaggerated or shortchanged. Third, the decadent characteristics are expressed in the fashion by attaching sensational ornament to the human bode or using sexual exposure. So they give unnatural, unsound and extremely erotic impressions. The decadent features in the make-up are generated by excessively using a gay red color or sensational, exciting colors. Fourth, the exoticism of the fashion is largely affected by China's Chipaoh, Japan's Kimono or primitive motives from Africa, as there are increasing interests in Asia. And that of the make-up leans toward the East, as Kabuki make-up from Japan, Kyongkeuk make-up from China or the primitive features from Africa are employed.

니체의 철학은 실존철학과 철학적 인간학의 특징을 포괄하고 있다. "차라투스트라는 이렇게 말했다"에서 인간을 "마지막 인간"과 "위버멘쉬"의 경계에 서있는 내재적 변화가능성의 존재로 설정함으로써, 니체는 인간의 실존적 건강함이 무엇인지에 대한 물음을 제기한다. 그의 철학에서 문제시되는 인간학적 증상들은 실존의 문제를 유발하며, 실존의 치유는 인간학적 증상의 치유를 전제로 한다. 이때 위버멘쉬는 당시 유럽에 만연했던 데카당스적 인간 유형으로 대변되는 마지막 인간에 대한 치유의 시도 속에서 도출된 건강한 실존을 가진 실천적 인간유형으로 제시된다. 니체는 유럽의 허무주의적 병의 근원을 철학과 종교(형이상학과 그리스도교)로 규정하며, 이에 대한 계보학적 탐구를 시도한다. 이 과정에서 단하나의 진리로 다양한 실존의 양식을 획일화해 온 철학과 철학자의 문제가 드러난다. 니체에게 있어 형이상학적-그리스도교적-도덕적 진리만을 탐구해 온 철학과 철학자는 참된 실존의 토대를 간과함으로써 나약한 정신과 의지의 인간을 산출했다는 측면에서 강한 비판의 대상이 된다. 니체는 대지로 명명된 인간 실존의 현실적 조건 위에서 그의 삶의 상승과 성장에 기여할 수 있는 철학, 다시 말해 인간과 삶의 실존적 변화의 토대로 작용할 수 있는 철학의 실천적 역할을 강조한다. 이때 철학자들의 과제는 모든 인간에게 적용될 수 있는 변화의 가능성과 이를 위한 실천의 토대를 마련하는 것이다. 철학의 이러한 실존적-실천적 토대 위에서 비로소 건강한 인간유형으로서의 위버멘쉬는 니체의 바람처럼 "최고의 현실"이 될 수 있다.
