Weirdcore

A genre of aesthetic that bases itself on concepts like nostalgia, derealization, surrealism, disorientation, and disassociation. This aesthetic is sometimes depicted with "holy" imagery, playing into the senses of comfort or uneasiness depending on the viewer. It also displays a variety of bright, sometimes epileptic, color schemes. Visual representations of these scenarios are either created to express discomfort and/or eeriness, depict nostalgia referencing to common childhood themes (ex, kidcore, playgrounds, toys...) or simply to follow a strange trend. This concept is associated with liminal spaces regularly as well. For a better idea of what it is, there are many references that you can find on TikTok and Pintrest ^^

Person 1: I've been getting into Weirdcore. It seems to speak to me in a way.
Person 2: That's cool.

Get the Weirdcore mug.

WEIRDO

Catch-all term invented in the 1950's by low-intelligence conformists to denigrate anyone different or smarter than them. Usually used by children, idiots, and the vocabulary-challenged.
