Junglecore is an aesthetic relating to the vibrant and mysterious ways of a jungle, which is usually filled with thriving habitats for native animals, plants, waterfalls, and other jungle sightings. It can also be related to exploring, and even researching or preservation of the jungle. Junglecore is also associated with creatures such as orangutans, Indian elephants, treefrogs, leopards, and many more. It is calming and exciting, natural and bold, practical and aspirational all at the same time.
