Changes: Kidcore

Revision as of 15:38, 23 February 2021

Kidcore is an aesthetic that centers around bright colors, nostalgia for icons from the 90s, and kid themes. While its origins can be traced back to the 1990s, it appears the aesthetic is a nostalgia-based creation of the 2010s.

Visual

Common motifs are bright colors frequently used on children's toys, most frequently highly saturated versions of the primary colors (red, yellow, and blue), images of indoor playgrounds, stuffed animals such as beanie babies and TY, robot pets like Furbys, "naive" furry art/animations, Lisa Frank artwork, rainbows, and other kid themes. Other common themes involved in Kidcore include:

Bedtime stories
Books
Colorful bookshelves
Watercolors and detailed linework
Rabbits and mice
