Cottagecore
“All good things are wild and free.”
— Henry David Thoreau,
Walking
"Cottagecore is an Internet fashion aesthetic
promulgated by teenagers and young adults celebrating an idealised rural
life. It was developed throughout the 2010s and received that name on
Tumblr in 2018. It values traditional skills and crafts such as
foraging, baking, and pottery, and is related to similar nostalgic
aesthetic movements such as grandmacore, farmcore, goblincore, and
faeriecore. Some sources describe cottagecore as a subculture of
Millennials and Generation Z. Because this lifestyle can be adopted by
virtually anyone, the cottagecore community is highly diverse."
