Corecore

Corecore (alternatively spelled CoreCore) is an Internet aesthetic and artistic movement that developed on social media platforms, particularly TikTok, as a way of reflecting on digital culture and post-2020 sensibilities. It typically brings together different video clips to highlight the repetitive and overwhelming nature of online content. The trend draws attention for capturing a sense of information overload and the chaotic environment of contemporary internet culture, and is largely associated with Generation Z. A product of youth culture, the corecore aesthetic was largely shared on TikTok and Instagram, originally juxtaposing various video clips with emotional music. The term "nichetok" has been described as a sister trend to corecore. Though technically different, the two terms are often used interchangeably by TikTok users. The terms chaos edit and 21st century humor are also related.
