What @Bishie11 said is probably the most accurate. I would add that it also seems slightly nymphet-ish, but I'm not entirely sure.

There’s nothing morally wrong with doing it, but beware: you will definitely be called a poser quite a few times and looked down upon by other trad goths if you’re walking around dressed like that but know nothing about goth music.

Hey, I'm sorry to hear that, but there are better places to vent about that sort of thing. This is just an aesthetic wiki, not a collection of therapists. I'm sure you're not stupid or horrible, and I hope you feel better soon.

@Buhers why would this be a spoof post?

@Kevaceri seems to have the most accurate description

It kind of has lovecore vibes, but it lacks the imagery to really be classified as such. It looks more visually similar to grunge or maybe indie.

@Palomaawesome maybe try looking at thrift stores? You might find some similar things to what she's wearing there.

Morute or angura kei, perhaps?

Looks like grunge or indie to me.

Could you provide some image examples? Your aesthetic sounds very intriguing, and I'd like to have a better understanding of what it looks like.

I don't think she really has a cohesive "aesthetic."

I've scrolled through some of your pins, and the general vibes I'm getting are soft girl, light academia, lo-fi, vintage and maybe slightly fairy grunge or cottagecore?

I don't believe this really matches any established aesthetics, or at least any that I've seen on this site so far. It's a visual style all on its own, I think, though I see elements of surrealism and Dadaism here. Maybe there's a little bit of kidcore in there, but I'm not sure.

@Miss Fantasy12 Most of it hasn't been written yet, but I'll post an excerpt for you once I've finished a little more of it. I'm glad that you're interested!

I heartily agree. The bizarreness and originality of weirdcore were what drew me to it in the first place, but it's lost those qualities ever since it went mainstream. I had never seen anything like it before and I enjoyed how unsettling it was, strangely enough. I guess the rest of the Internet felt the same, though, seeing as it spread like wildfire and we all ran out of interesting ideas for it. Now everyone's weirdcore OCs look the same, all of the edits use the same images and unoriginal captions, and no one's introducing any new or interesting concepts to the subculture at all. I strongly believe this is due to it gaining popularity among young people on TikTok; they've made it so bland and populated weirdcore spaces so heavily that it's turning off older fans of the aesthetic who might actually have ideas with more potential.

Not everything has to have an aesthetic. Liking nature is normal and isn't necessarily an aesthetic; just enjoy it and don't worry about it.

Dreamcore is different from weirdcore because it isn't meant to be bizarre in an unsettling way; its main goal is simply to imitate the strange but unthreatening surrealism of dreams. That being said, they do have similar elements sometimes, so I can see why your friends think they're the same.

Personally, I don't think your room has much of a definite visual style. It gives off nerdy normcore vibes, but that's about it. Are there any specific aesthetics that you're trying to mimic or that you're interested in adopting? Because if so, I may be able to provide advice as to where to find the decor you're looking for.
