Adventurecore

Adventurecore involves adventure, the great unknown, and exploration. The main theme and philosophy are encouraging curiosity and having a yearning to see it all. It often focuses on the outdoors and wild landscapes. The original creator, Tumblr user advenchurre (now deactivated) has stated "It's about the idea of navigating the world like you're a protag about to set off on a big cross-country journey. Even if you live in the suburbs".^[1]

It originated on Tumblr, and was created on July 9th, 2019, but has since then branched out into different social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok.
