As content got more intense as well as anime-centric, this eventually led to a subcategory of lovecore called [[Animecore|yanderecore]] (subgenre; links to Animecore), as lovecore tends to focus on the commercialization of love through valentines day and marketing as well as wholesome celebration of love rather than the dark, macabre or erotic. Lovecore originated from Tumblr.

'''Pagano-Lovecore''' focuses on the iconography of love in Greco-Roman mythology and the Italian Renaissance, rather than the Christian tradition. Fixated on Greco-Roman gods and goddesses, beautiful statues, doves, old jewelry, ancient love poetry, and other antique things in Rome or ancient Greece. Figures include Aphrodite, Cupid, Adonis, and other love deities. Easy overlap with [[Dark Academia]].

Revision as of 07:49, 5 December 2020

Lovecore is an aesthetic based on the visual culture of manufactured romance & affection. Popular motifs include hearts, boxes of chocolate, lipstick, love letters, cupid, angels, and the colours red and pink. There are also at times vintage elements present in the form of old scans of valentines day cards from the '50s and '60s. There is sometimes overlap with animecore in the form of pink manga edits and screenshots of anime characters with hearts in their eyes.

As content got more intense as well as anime-centric, this eventually led to a subcategory of lovecore called yanderecore (subgenre; links to Animecore), as lovecore tends to focus on the commercialization of love through valentines day and marketing as well as wholesome celebration of love rather than the dark, macabre or erotic. Lovecore originated from Tumblr.
