Kimoicore visuals often create a disturbed, or grossed out feeling, hence why the name was chosen. Kimoicore aesthetics often take on the color palette of [[Vaporwave]] or [[Vintage]] aesthetics and the imagery associated with Anime aesthetics, then utilizes horror situations and themes to create a sense of unease. Colors that typically appear are vivid with high contrast, or are desaturated with a black and white or faded appearance. While easily confused with Lo-fi, there are several key differences between the two, most notably Lo-fi's relaxing nostalgic vibes, calm art, and peaceful music focus while Kimoicore is disturbing, high contrasted, and horror based. They're more like opposite sides of the same coin.
