Weirdcore vs Dreamcore: Aesthetic Similarities and Differences

[@frtnyt]

thats my edit in the thumbnail! :)

[@bearilliantbear1769]

Dreamcore: "I'm meant to be here. I feel comfortable. I don't want to leave." Weirdcore: "I don't know where I am. Is this real? I'm not sure if I should be here."

[@dashyburd]

Perhaps they are just two sides of a coin, and the main difference comes down to intent. Both take a great deal of inspiration from the bizarre, our dreams and our subconscious. They just focus on a different aspect of them.

[@Sentient_dumpster_fire]

1:48 'each has a distinct flavour' is the best way i've heard someone explain why dreamcore and weirdcore are different

[@FeyPax]

A lot of the hazy cloudy atmospheric images often are the setting sun my dreams. But like as places I’ve been before. I would seriously see that foggy playground in my dreams but it would be like the playground at a school I went to a really long ass time ago. It’s wild how close some of these can get for dreamcore. Most of it isn’t in the same vein but some of those pictures I’m like oh I’ve definitely been there in my dreams.

[@FeyPax]

I also see weirdcore being closer tired to traumacore which delves into childhood trauma and feelings of severe depression along with other mental illnesses usually caused by childhood trauma. I think dreamcore takes a bit of a step out leaving the interpretations more vague and for the viewer.

[@hackedbypoodlecorp7727]

The earliest memories I have feel like dream core it’s hard to explain.

[@WEIRDpoi]

i feel the same

I always confuse both of them but thanks to you now I know the difference.

[@calliastah4115]

I feel like Dreamcore in particular is a perfect form of escapism from the world we have where we're maintained in a state of slavery by our own Government. Constant work, unable to so much as explore what you want to explore, go where you want to go, even dreaming becomes impossible to those who have to sleep early and wake up super-early. I've had some dreams where I've felt utterly broken because I just couldn't go back to, they were perfection for me. I literally felt like wanting to cry because I had to go to work and I left that dream over work.

[@donniewalters00]

when i wake up, i really miss those places i went and the people i met in my dreams, it’s such an indescribable feeling

[@ssapphire7781]

You are such an awesome creator! I love dreamcore and weirdcore and this is the first channel I’ve found that doesn’t just post shorts

[@Thomonpiano]

Dude this vid was great, I love how you explain the nuances of each

[@Due_Recognition]

I appreciate your channle and the analytical explanations you create for all these beautiful nostalgic aesthetics that I think have shown to have more than enough potential to become extraordinarily well done art in the future.

[@geraldspoonsman8411]

thank you for the distinction. i was having trouble classifying what aesthetic my profile picture fits in

[@dxrkoner]

oh my god. i had this video playing off to the side and glanced at it for a moment while looking for stuff to make a weirdcore edit and got jumpscared by my 3rd ever edit at 2:38 lmao

[@DisgustedJarvis]

Take a shot every time he inhaled while speaking

[@bobollj6111]

I really enjoyed this in-depth explanation, and I feel like this really spoke to me. Also, random hobby I wanted to share (since I heard the music from Xori in the background playing, and it invoked this thought)- I like to either stay up late at night or wake up early in the morning, per say at 5 am, just to listen to songs that has a dreamcore or Weirdcore theme to it. Just to get my day started, lol. I’d share what songs I have to recommend, however, this video is from a year ago already, so I wouldn’t be surprised if not many people see this comment. Anyways, have a nice day. ♥️

[@radical3471]

I have the plushie at 0:03 that was cool to see

[@test_channel231]

Amazing work your voice is really soothing :D Btw if anybody knows what is the song that starts playing at 7:56 called?

[@sudsbuccheegee]

Plasmama-wii maker u

[@SALAAAAAMIII]

Just what i needed! thank you so much!

[@millieandmason48264]

In my opinion weirdcore is more comforting, dreamcore focuses on the horror and I refer nostalgia And weird feelings rather than horror that doesn’t make me comfortable 😭

[@dellyphilla1215]

If I may ask, what is the game you're playing

[@SoulPortalOfficial]

Yeah, I was wondering the same question. I think it’s a Roblox world cause there was a scene of another user jumping on a building near the end, but I wouldn’t know. I don’t play Roblox.

[@SoulPortalOfficial]

Update: I think another commenter said it was a world called Anemoiapolis or something, so it might be that world in Roblox?

[@bleccoded]

what's the game in 2:16 ?

[@St0pLookingAtMyProfile]

I think it's called "anemoiapolis"

[@SoulPortalOfficial]

@@St0pLookingAtMyProfileThanks. I’ll look into it.

[@chris08crimson08]

reality and the plain of the subconscious mean the same thing and YOUR PERCEPTION OF NOSTALGIA =) follow the Mystical Guardian of nostalgia? >Yes< >No

[@mad1s0n36]

I like both they make me feel a weird feeling of clam.

[@centipedemaws]

very lovely video !! 🫶🫶

[@null_points]

question. do you prefer the weirdcore or dreamcore aesthetic?

[@Tkimba2]

Where can I share weircore content? I meam with some interactions... Fb group? Tik tok?

[@user-mv2nf1gf3d]

underrated

[@aw.kittlesticks]

[@Lexithepoptart]

This vid got sent to me on Discord

[@BreadSticks4u]

Can somebody explain dreamcore and traumacore

[@puppies2131]

hello it is me

[@fireshark224]

ain't no way💀

[@57Red]

I think I know you

[@ignat22869]

Wrong! Weirdcore is mushrooms with eyes and Dreamcore is bacrooms and liminal spaces

[@Not_Not_Heart_Editz]

You You are meanace

[@Amigasora]

Wrong! Weirdcore is take an object and give it one facial feature but none else and make it say something suuuuper spooky on the windows xp background and dream core is the same

[@SoulPortalOfficial]

(I’m joking here lol.) WRONG! I’m obviously objectively right and you are all objectively wrong cause I said so. 😹 I say dreamcore is weirdcore and weirdcore is dreamcore. I am right because yes and y’all are wrong because no. 😹
