This morning I received The Goods newsletter from Vox, which today consisted of a roundup of trends on TikTok by Rebecca Jennings. She describes the joys of “aesthetic TikTok” — “the part of the app where people put together what are essentially slideshows of Pinterest boards devoted to a certain feeling or mood,” and highlights “cottagecore” and “Dark Academia” as emerging styles, along with their offshoots: “There’s goblincore or crowcore (collections of weird shiny trinkets), meadowcore (pretty pictures of meadows), fairycore (meadowcore but with mushrooms and magic), and Light Academia (Dark Academia, but girlier and in the summer).”
