Nostalgiacore

Just another Vib-Ribbon Fanart after a while.

Alright, buckle up friends, because we're about to deep-fry this wiki page in the sizzling oil of comedic critique. Let's dissect this beast, piece by painful piece:

• The "Needs Work" Tag: It's like the page itself is aware of its own chaotic existence and is just throwing its hands up in defeat. "Yeah, I know I'm a mess. What are you gonna do about it?" It's the wiki equivalent of a teenager's messy room with a passive-aggressive note saying, "Don't look at my socks."

The aesthetics box:

• Title: Nostalgiacore. Sounds like a rejected subgenre of metal. "Yeah, we shred... the past."

• Image: Skittles.jpg | Caption: Skittles Bubblegum. Okay, Skittles are nostalgic for some, sure. But using a picture of bubblegum Skittles? It's like saying the epitome of the ocean is a single drop of lukewarm tap water. It's specific to the point of being bizarrely random.

• Decade of Origin: 1950s-2010s. So, roughly all of modern history? That's not a decade, that's a time span. Might as well say the aesthetic originated "sometime between the invention of the wheel and TikTok."

• Creator/s: TV/movies, food, toys, and/or fashion that would have existed when you were a teenager, that you have strong memories of. Congratulations, page, you've just defined "having memories." Groundbreaking. So, if I have strong memories of that embarrassing perm I got in '87, does that make perms an aesthetic now?

• Key Motifs: The feeling of nostalgia, desire to "be a kid again". Profound. It's like saying the key motif of sadness is "feeling sad." You're not wrong, you're just stating the obvious with the intellectual depth of a puddle.

• Key Colours: Any (it can depend entirely on what the person feels nostalgic for), though usually bright colors. So, no color is not a key color? And the "usually bright colors" feels like a desperate attempt to slap some vague visual identity onto this amorphous blob.

• Related Aesthetics: This list is longer than my grocery list on Thanksgiving. It's like the page is desperately trying to find its identity by latching onto every vaguely related concept. Americana? Animecore? Bubblegum Dance? It's throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping some of it sticks, preferably with glitter.

The article:

• The Introduction: "Nostalgiacore is an aesthetic involving nostalgia and archived history." Thanks, Captain Obvious! You've truly cracked the code. It's like defining "sleeping" as "an activity involving being asleep."

• "Most senses of nostalgia focus on..." Oh, most senses? Are there some niche, olfactory-based nostalgias we should be aware of? Is "Eau de Kindergarten Glue Stick" a key element?

• The Parenthetical Explanations: "(like TV-MA shows, R-rated movies, or Mature 17+ video games), provided that they still could be considered things that the person feeling nostalgia grew up with..." The sheer amount of caveats and "well, technically..." in this page is astounding. It's like it's constantly trying to justify its own existence.

• The "Visuals" Section: It helpfully points out the "huge misconception" that Nostalgiacore is always bright colors. Thanks for clearing that up, after the "Key Colours" section implied exactly that! The examples are fine, but it's still just a list of visual elements that could be nostalgic. Riveting.

• The "Fashion" Section: "In this time period, if you lived at the time, you either loved or hated some of the most iconic trends that came out." Deep philosophical insight right there. And the list? It's like a time capsule vomited onto the page. Rice necklaces and skirt and jeans combo? My therapist is going to have a field day with this sudden flashback.

• The "Media" Sections (Television & Webfiction): These lists are less "examples of an aesthetic" and more "a comprehensive, yet somehow still incomplete, list of everything broadcast or uploaded in the last few decades." The collapsible boxes are a tacit admission of the overwhelming length. Imagine trying to explain this aesthetic to someone by scrolling through this endless digital graveyard of forgotten shows.

• The Inclusion of Shows Like "Cops" and "Big Brother": So, the aesthetic of longing for the past now includes the warm, fuzzy feeling of watching people get arrested or reality TV drama? That's... certainly a take.

• The "Webfiction" Section: It's like someone just copy-pasted their YouTube subscriptions from 2012. Is "Fred" really a cornerstone of an aesthetic?

• The "Literature," "Video Games," and "Film" Sections: More endless lists! It's like the page is saying, "Hey, remember this? And this? And oh yeah, this too! Basically, just remember stuff."

• The "Music" Section: Starting with Gymnopedie No. 1? That's nostalgic for... people who peaked in a silent film? And then it jumps to "Chocolate Rain"? The tonal whiplash is real. It's a playlist curated by a committee that couldn't agree on what year it was.

• The "Technology" Section: Listing operating systems as part of an aesthetic? "Yeah, my mood board is all faded Windows XP error messages."

• The "Websites" Section: So, the aesthetic of longing for the past includes... the current internet? Wikipedia and TikTok are both "Nostalgiacore"? That's like saying fire is nostalgic for cavemen.

• The "Food & Drinks" Section: Finally, something we can all relate to! Longing for the days of... high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavors? It's a diabetes-inducing trip down memory lane.

• The "Activities" Section: "Watching an R-rated movie underage... if you didn't do this yourself, then you probably know SOMEONE who did this!" The page is practically winking at the reader, like a shady uncle at a family gathering.

• The "People" Section: This is where it truly descends into madness. Listing hundreds of celebrities, politicians, and historical figures? Is "Barack Obama-core" a thing now? Did someone make a mood board of just pictures of Jimmy Carter? The inclusion of people who are still actively working or who were relevant in completely different eras makes this section utterly nonsensical.

• The "Resources" Section: Linking to Spotify playlists with generic names like "Nostalgiacore by 1242262846" is the epitome of "trust me bro, it's an aesthetic." And a link to Windows Vista sample music? That's not nostalgia, that's trauma.

• The "Gallery": A chaotic jumble of images that vaguely represent... things? A picture of Crystal Pepsi next to a playground slide next to a screenshot of the Wii menu. It's like someone just threw random nostalgic-adjacent images into a digital scrapbook.

In conclusion, this wiki page isn't an explanation of an aesthetic; it's a digital yard sale of vaguely retro-related items, desperately trying to convince you it's a cohesive "thing." It's the internet's attic, overflowing with dusty memories and questionable relevance. It's so broad it encompasses everything and therefore means nothing. It's less an aesthetic and more a cry for help from a server struggling under the weight of endless, uncurated data.

Featuring Mimi and Nyami from the mentioned title :D

From roughly the late 90s to early 00s, adolescent pop music took over both the airwaves and especially MTV. The prime time program that established this aesthetic and trend was TRL, aka Total Request Live, a pop-focused live event program that showcases music trends and top charting singles. The motifs of this trend is 90s bubblegum pop revival first brought in by the group The Spice Girls and later taken up by Boybands and Girl groups with single’s focused pop acts like the blond Pop princesses of 99 (Xtina, Britney Spears, Mandy Moore, Jessica Simpson and Anastasia). Certain motifs include: Teen focused pop, girl groups and boybands, teen fan websites/pages, artists usually under 20, popularity of both TRL and 106 & Park, rise of singer based competition reality shows like Pop Idol, Popstars and American Idol, certain controversies surrounding youth based sexuality and the growing influence surrounding alternative music such as Hip-Hop, Nu Metal and Teen Pop Punk. Aesthetic lasted until 2002 with a growing rise of guitar-based alt pop and R&B, ultimately putting the trend to a hold.

My number one recommendation and by the way, (my favorite genpet is red.🤗)

If you can't understand the title properly, I'm gonna unofficially rename certain popular aesthetics on this wiki.

1. Frutiger Aero - We all know what this is, right? Well, it's commonly used in technology, and a common thing used for computers is the wallpaper. Frutiger Aero's peak is usually on wallpapers, so its rename will be "New Computer Wallpaper".

2. Y2K Futurism - We all know about the Y2K myths, right (ignoring future generations)? If you don't know, people thought the world was gonna end after 1999. Before Y2K (or maybe still today), people used to rely on fortune tellers for uncertain beliefs, with their glowing crystal sphere that's used to "see through the future". Crystal balls also have that "glossy" look on it, so Y2K Futurism will be renamed to "Fortune Teller's Crystal Ball".

3. Nostalgiacore - We all remember something like this, right? Well, Nostalgiacore's commonly used in fun things, like arcades, candy, plushes, etc. Clothes are also common in Nostalgiacore, and pajamas are clothes. Kids usually wear pajamas, so Nostalgiacore would be renamed to "Slumber Party".

4. Kidcore - If you never went to a Slumber Party-like place as a child, what kind of kid were you? Anyways, those places are commonly seen in birthday party centers, so Kidcore'll be renamed to "Birthday Party Invitation".

5. Frutiger Metro - This one's less common than New Computer Wallpaper, but is still pretty popular. Metro feels like someone spray painted all over the place, and also those weird edits in photo booths, so its rename'll be "Graffitied Photo Booth".

6. Flat Design - Ugghh... THIS one? Oh, well... flat design is flat as paper and paper is used for origami so this will be renamed to "Folded Origami".

7. Webcore - Most of what I've seen from Webcore's category is stuff from vintage computer games, so it will be renamed to "90's 3D Kids' Educational Computer Game".

8. Memphis Design - Memphis' is used for 90's art in TV shows, especially furniture, so it's rename'll be "90's Show Furniture".

9. Analog Horror - We all know what this is, and it's commonly used in VCRs, so its rename will be "Haunted VHS Collection".

10. 2010s Internet - This nostalgic aesthetic probably started from Flash games, so its rename will be "Cool Flash Website".

And that's it.

Another artstyle to add to my collection..

My sewing machine finally started to sew correctly (aka I did something wrong), so I made this. It’s messy, but I like it still.

I don’t know why the picture is upside down..

Hi guys, someone's could help me to try to find the name of this aestetich?

Well, I don't know if really exist, but this aestetich it's like 2000's core. Basically I think is "after hours+Y2K core". I also think is a little bit of "nostalgic core" and happens in cities but in suburbans areas, we have cars (old cars that exist in those movies of 2000's), the vibe is at night (always) and also liminal spaces. When I said "suburbans" I'm referring at places around big cities, those places roadside, who's have industrial stores, mechanics and stores selling things related to cars and automotive parts. Also if I could say about music, rock like "Oasis", and musics typical of 2000's. And also have those spaces like market, in "small cities" like Walmart in remote spaces. Idk why this remember my childhood so bad! principal bc i remembered when my dad goes with me to the suburbans spaces bc he had a car store/automotive services, then he need to go to this places to could get this in those industrial stores and I was with him. Generally was at night. If you know the name of this aestetich please say to me here, thanks!

A classic year lol

Comments or Replies down below pls.

I'm semi-lazy to draw this artwork or splash art ref.

This art will be back to the '90s, '00s to '10s.

Comments down below.

Based on my current mental state

I saw that a user removed all the examples from the sections: TV Show, Webfiction, Video Games, and Film on the Nostalgiacore page, and I already deleted that error, but the bad thing is that I want to go back to all those series, movies and video games that were on that page, but the bad thing is that there are many of them and I'm too lazy to return, so can someone give those examples of the TV Shows, Webfiction, Video Games and Film sections of the Nostalgiacore page please?
