Weirdcore is an artistic style that gained popularity largely through online communities, and it centers around creating a surreal and disturbing atmosphere, often through digital art. It's characterized by its singular blend of nostalgia, disorientation, and eeriness, often utilizing visuals reminiscent of '90s and early 2000s internet culture, but warped in a way that is disconcerting. Various typical elements of the Weirdcore aesthetic include blurry visuals, obsolete technology, loud colors, and dreamlike, disorienting or paradoxical environments. It often invokes a sense of recognition tinged with something off, creating a oneiric experience.

This aesthetic style can be found in different forms of media, including music videos, album art, websites, and more. Notably, the genre has been associated with vaporwave that make use of nostalgia and digital dislocation. This aesthetic, with its special blend of the familiar and the strange, continues to shape and be influenced by internet culture.
