Music, art, and literature passed off as folklore when in reality they are not. Soviet-era ensembles like the Red Army Choir are a prime example of fakelore: the music and dances have been prettied up for mass public and Soviet government consumption. There is an increasing trend for many music and dance ensembles around the world to present more authentic folkloric material, but it is an uphill battle because of the demands of commercial interests.
When you see the Moiseyev Dance Ensemble perform, bear in mind that you're seeing carefully choreographed dances. A lot of the material they present is fakelore.

fakecore 

(For best understanding, see the song "I'm A Fake" by The Used.)
1. The act of pretending to be something (i.e. happy, normal, sane...) in order to keep everyone from thinking you are something other then that (i.e. sad, weird, crazy...).
People like this are usually attempting to protect themselves from the harsh reality of whatever is around them. Sometimes, rarely, they are trying to live up to the reputation that may have been put on them years ago.

2: This word can have whatever meaning you want it to. It is defined by the person using it. More of a personal understanding.
(See the song "I'm A Fake")

"She always seemed so happy."
"Heh. She was fakecore."

OR

"The newest trend was people claiming they where fakecore, however none of them knew what it actually meant. But it did sum them all up rather well."
