Goblincore: RIP HS Art

Goblincore: the fashion trend that embraces 'chaos, dirt and mud'

Mushrooms, toads and moss might not be the most celebrated of nature's creations, but thanks to goblincore, an aesthetic that is blossoming online as well as in forests, the danker, gnarlier side of nature is enjoying a moment in the sun.

According to the TikTok user @froggiecrocs, AKA Parker, who has more than 90,000 followers who tune in for his goblincore content, it "romanticizes the ugly, lesser appreciated parts of the natural world". Its trappings include animal skulls and earthworms and its influences range from David Bowie in Labyrinth to the Twilight Saga. According to the trends expert Sabrina Faramarzi, it is about "chaos, dirt and mud".

Although the scene is all about inclusivity, awareness of historical antisemitic references to goblins has led some, including McGain-Harding, to substitute other terms, such as mushroomcore or mosscore.

A close but more feral cousin to cottagecore, a trend for a stylised, agrarian way of life and its aesthetic – prairie dresses, jam tarts, thatched cottages and strawberry motifs – that was big last year, goblincore is, says Brennan, more "rough around the edges".

"Wildflowers and white linen dresses are wonderful but goblincore is staining that same dress with mud and moss and watching snails and slugs eat the wildflowers," says McGain-Harding, who thinks it harks back to the way you appreciate nature as a mud-pie-making child.

"Goblincore is cottagecore for those that actually spend time in nature," says Faramarzi.

Mizbet the Skull-Fucking Scarecrow would turn in his gravy if he knew that goblincore now amounted to a picture of a mushroom on a T-shirt.

[Video Game Fan 2000]

I thought the "goblin" thing was 100% an altright dogwhistle? From that anime? The only other thing I can think of is that Korean fantasy soap opera. Cottagecore was pretty sus to start with.

Its amazing how the media falls for clearly fake shit like OK and Honk Honk but "goblin" gets through.

cottagecore

Is that some kind of contraction of "hardcore cottaging"?

I may have found a new hobby.

Just printed t-shirts, then. Is that even a fashion trend?

[who cares]

I like toads and moss, I like going barefoot in a marsh- fucked if I'm calling it 'goblincore' though.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

It's goblincore though mate isn't it really

[who cares]

Yes, I suppose it is. The core of it is indubitably goblin.

[who cares]

Nah not really.

I very much dislike goblins. Like Toby jugs and David Walliams, there's a leering quality that I find most distasteful.

[poo]

Love anything goblins but this isn't goblins. Absolute cunting bollocks.

[Goldentony]

this is just ozric tentacles fans, weve already got them

[jonnycuba]

We have a moss ball floating in water called 'Mandy'. It's rather beautiful, is this Goblincore?
