For me it honestly depends. It kinda does the opposite of derealization to me for some reason. Like it makes me compare weirdcore with real life I think. And I feel soo much nostlagia from weirdcore.
Dude, this actually makes my head hurt. It gives the feeling of being calm yet freaking the fuck out at the same time, and I don’t know whether to like it or be concerned for myself.
These give me more comfort than almost anything else.. I honestly had a dream last night about elementary school. (In elementary school I was always bullied by both the teachers and students, I had no friends) The teachers were oddly nice, and I was chosen to be taken to this room to do something in the office. The room was.. it was filled with every dreamcore/kidcore image you could find. It was wonderful, and I honestly woke up crying because I wanted to go back.
I feel like I was given the memories of someone born before me, I feel I was given the memories that make me feel nostalgic when looking at things I’ve never experienced in my life That’s why I love this, nostalgia makes me feel so sad, yet so happy, I love how confusing it is, but I hate it, I love it because it feels like me I want to be polite but I wanna be rude I wanna be different but I love myself This makes me feel like I’m not alone
This nostalgic etc. stuff is just so 'magical' / ' dreamy' for me... like idk I just have no words, like I feel in a dream or time machine when I see this ' - '
I want to explain why some images cause discomfort or similar feelings: For example, a picture of an empty Sears might cause you fear or discomfort. this is because this places like malls, libraries, play areas, department stores, etc, were built to be full of people all the time, and when they’re empty, they give us a feeling of confusion and derealization. There’s actually a word for this, but I don’t remember how is it called. Anyways, I just wanted to explain that in case someone wanted to know
Dreamcore and Weirdcore are probably my favorite aesthetics. They make me feel warm and safe unlike any other aesthetic. But some aspects like being alone in a dark room that you felt like you've seen before in a fever dream is a little scary for me considering the fact that I have autophobia and nyctophobia.
the feeling of soothing yourself after crying… hits different like when you just stop and then you’re just sniffling with a mad face it gives you a chance to plot revenge against those you hate
Omg the rainbow fish book, I remember reading that like twice 😥 Edit: Also Dreamcore uses a lot of empty grassy fields and my agoraphobia goes through the roof lol
“Do you remember how to get back?” No. I dont. I dont think there is a way. But, damn, i really wish there was. The nostalgia from these makes me feel like a kid again and I wish i could go back to the good old days.
That event thing, the reason it looks familiar to me is because it has fairground rides, and when I was younger my family went to sales places that only really happened once every year. They still happen to this day, and the surroundings of the rides - the rainy looking clouds and grey atmosphere, looks like the UK, where I live.
If you pause at 1:38, it is actually a picture of a mall I used to go to when I was younger. Unfortunately it was demolished a few years ago though, so it’s gone now.
Ive came across dreamcore before but never looked into it now I'm totally hooked to this! Its like an experience... Its horror but... Well weirder I love it!
*"Here they are,the people and memories you lost. Here it is. Isnt it amazing? Don't you never want to leave? Aren't you happy here? I'm asking because you will be stuck here forever, yes you heard me right. You will just sink in nostalgia forever. Its painful,I know. But you'll get used to it :) Trust me. I must go now.Just stay away from him. Bye now! DONT DIE"*
I wish someone would make a indoor playground, or just any nostalgic scenes. Not to play on it, but to be able to feel the comfort and fear that we did when we were a child. Now a lot of indoor playgrounds are shutting down, and even if you do find them, they usually say something like “children 7 and under.” Like why? I’m not going to hurt the kids, I just miss my own childhood. I want to go back to that feeling of comfort and fear.
0:41 That reminds me of a place that I used to go it was kind of like a library for children and it was very fun but they closed down or either moved to another location so there’s another place there
“Hey.” “Hey!” “Are you okay?” … “Good, listen. I know the world is crumbling right now, and there’s nothing we can do. Before the world shrinks into nothing, I want to have one last talk with you.” “Remember when we would pretend to drive a basket? And when we shared an ice cream together when mine’s fell down? Yea..good times.. Listen, uh, I was wishing a while ago that I could, I-I mean WE could see each other again in another life and start over. What do you think?” … “That’s great! Why? Oh! Because no matter what planet or dimension I’m on, I want to be with YOU. Only YOU! Please, God, let me see him again in another life!” “Please. Just one more time…”
I cannot describe how much i want to live in an abandoned school or hospital or mall. I want to run around until I go even crazier. I want to be alone but with someone with me. Who are they? I do not know.
what makes liminal spaces so creepy and eerie for me is the fact that they look like they're supposed to be crowded, but because its empty it seems like there is something there
From someone with derealization-depersonalization disorder, this scares me like nothing else. It feels so real but yet, like a fake memory in the back of my mind.
Sometimes I wish I had enough experience with lucid dreaming to create my own dream world like these. I can barely stay lucid long enough to not return to autopilot in a few minutes.
I'm not American so this video didn't spike my nostalgia but what is nostalgic to me is empty airports, I'm getting so much de ja vu and making a playlist of the things I remember
6:43 biggest flex is that ive been to this exact place when i was a really young kid. forgot the name but i have an image of me and my friend when we where toddlers at this place.
I remember when i saw English cartoons before I could english, I can't remember what they said only what they sounded. Only noise and sounds filled those memories sitting with the tv hearing them but not understanding them.
ok 1 thank you i loved the video, and also its really weird ok so i found a picture on my old phone and it was a picture of me sleeping outside next to a fence, but i dont remember it at all. im really confused about it.
