The King Kylie era refers to Kylie's earlier years of online fame between 2014 and 2016 when she would share an unfiltered insight into her teenage life.
At the time, she would post makeup tutorials, time with her friends and raw selfies showing her different hair colors.Simply put, the King Kylie era was when Kylie was the queen of then-emerging social media platforms such as Vine and Snapchat, per Highsnobiety.
Then came Kylie's relationship with Tyga -- nicknamed King Gold Chains. At the height of her booming social media presence, the young socialite changed her Instagram username to King Kylie.
The nickname stuck with her fans even after she broke up with Tyga.
