【Dreamcore】 What is the "core" design that is likely to come after Y2K?
Hello,
"Pu ("Pu" is a half-width kana)".
(You don't have to pronounce the part of ("pu" is a half-width kana))
Suddenly, have you ever heard of the word "〇〇core"?
Recently, when I look at TikTok and Instagram, I often see "Dreamcore" videos.
As the name suggests, I am gradually getting hooked on the dreamy and hazy atmosphere and worldview.
There seem to be many other designs and music with "core" attached to them, all of which have a well-established worldview and are very interesting.
This time, I would like to introduce some of the popular "core" on the Internet!

Dreamcore
Haveyou ever dreamed of getting lost in a strange place as a child?
It is a blurry world with no clear boundaries, but it is a strangely comfortable world.
Dreamcore is designed to express such a "dream I had as a child" worldview.
contrast to the low resolution and dim impression, the atmosphere is characterized by colorful landscapes that children will be happy with.
For example, images such as dimly lit ball pools like the one above and game centers with many old enclosures are mainly used.
That slightly creepy sense of incongruity is addictive.
It's a personal image, but I feel like it's close to "Yume cute" that was popular for a while.
Weirdcore
Theword "Weird" in Weirdcore literally translates to "strange".
As the name suggests, Weirdcore is a representation of a strange space.
features a design that evokes visual horror, with noise representations similar to 90s VHS and simple and meaningful text arrangements.
It is similar to the aforementioned Dreamcore in that it makes people feel uncomfortable, but I think Weirdcore emphasizes the creepiness more.
If Dreamcore is "Yume cute", is Weirdcore closer to "sickly cute"?
Cottagecore
Cottagecore is a popular style among people who yearn for a life in harmony with nature.
Ideal for living surrounded by idyllic landscapes, handmade items, wooden furniture and antique goods, gentle pastel colors, lace and floral designs are often used.
This Cottagecore is also frequently used in fashion.
It looks very cute in clothes that look like a classy young lady who seems to live in the mountains of the Alps.
By the way, don't you think this Cottagecore is somehow reminiscent of "Forest Girl", which was popular in the Heisei era and was ridiculed for a while as "going back to the forest"?
Balletcore

If you are a woman, you may have dreamed of it at least once when you were a child.
Balletcore has a worldview that expresses such a beautiful desire from a young age.
Balletcore is a style that embraces the beauty and elegance of classical ballet.
Its elegant and girly style has gained popularity among young women, especially in Korea.
Cleancore
Cleancore is made up of aworld view centered on "clean things" such as blue, soap, and clear colors.
The pure worldview without an inch of dirt seems to make me feel strangely refreshed, and I personally like it very much.
On TikTok, along with scenes of clear water flowing and whipping stone alkali, there is often a refreshing and clean background music that makes your phone feel cold.
Bonus: Frutiger Aero
Although it is not "〇〇core", there is a design style that has been attracting renewed attention recently, such as "Frutiger Aero".
Today's Windows and Apple products have a smart, sleek flat design, but
Before they became widespread, three-dimensional and shiny designs were considered "futuristic" and were very popular.
Frutiger Aero consists of a worldview that returns to its once-fashionable design.
The design features include a refreshing image like an aquarium, a clear and three-dimensional feel, and a nostalgic but new impression
etc.
