The Weirdcore aesthetic is an artistic style that gained popularity primarily through online communities, and it focuses on creating a surreal and disturbing atmosphere, often through mixed media art. It's characterized by its singular blend of nostalgia, disorientation, and eeriness, often drawing on visuals reminiscent of '90s and early 2000s internet culture, but distorted in a way that is unsettling. A number of typical elements of the Weirdcore aesthetic include blurry visuals, obsolete technology, loud colors, and phantasmagorical, disorienting or paradoxical environments. It often invokes a sense of recognition tinged with something wrong, creating a oneiric experience.

The intent to disturb is often achieved by modifying common or familiar images and settings in ways that make them feel foreign or uncanny. It's a form of online dreamlike artistry that plays with our perception of reality and perception. This artistic approach can be found in various forms of media, including music videos, album art, websites, and more. Notably, the genre has been associated with similar internet-born movements that make use of retro aesthetics and digital dislocation. Weirdcore, with its unique blend of the familiar and the strange, continues to shape and be influenced by internet culture.
