Men's Grooming is men's grooming, which is a behavior of grooming and grooming carried out by men.

By taking data from 5 discord channels in Darahku Biru denim community discord as a place to collect data, namely the Jeans-and-Denim channel, Apparel channel, Leather-footwear channel, Localbrand channel, and Men's-grooming channel which is limited from April 1 2024 to April 30 2024 with a total of 96 samples. This research uses a quantitative content analysis method. The results of this research show that of the total chats on 5 channels, namely 876, there are 348 chats that discuss men's grooming content. The main indicator of body unity, the trousers indicator, is the one most often discussed. Then the second highest indicator also includes the body unit, namely shoes. Meanwhile, the hair indicator is the third highest discussed. Apart from that, the discussion that is rarely discussed is about the face and body.
