Goblincore is an aesthetic which seems to have originated on Tumblr, as a twist on ‘dragoncore’. While both dragoncore and goblincore seem to focus on collections (or hoards), goblincore leans into the grimier, grittier, and just more generally cluttered look. Goblincore celebrates not just flawless gems, dazzling metals, and meticulously kept treasuries, but also damaged coins, cool rocks, bits of scrap metal, maybe even beads, bugs, and buttons.
If you have a disordered, unlabeled collection of rocks, shells, buttons, or trinkets (or all the above), goblincore might be the aesthetic for you. Some call it hoarding, but we call it ‘collecting’.

“Wow, Dan sure does have a lot of shit. When did he get so many bits of sea glass? And is that just a pile of shells?”
“Yeah, he found a goblincore blog on tumblr and just kinda lost himself in it.”

A phrase to respond to an unanswerable question. It comes from a review by Possum Reviews on the homemade movie, "The Goblin." In one scene, the goblin kills a homeowner and turns on a propane stove. It is never brought up again and has no reason, so Possum repeats it multiple times in the video.
