Dazecore is an aesthetic inspired by sleepless nights and the buzz of late night/early morning thoughts. It is very closely linked to Urbancore, Geek, and Dark Minimalism, heavily influenced by artists working in the early hours of the morning and students staying up late at night working on papers. The origin of Dazecore appears to be on @the_niche_cliche on Instagram, on the 19th of May, 2020.

- Unknown footsteps on creaky stairs
- Late-night texts to loved ones
- Reoccurring dreams of falling endlessly

- Muted color tones
- Simple makeup and messy hair
- Flowing, wide-legged trousers
- Matching sets and pajamas, in soft and cozy fabrics
