“Coreification”: the latest manifestation of placing oneself and others into boxes, rather than accepting the world and humanity as messy, intriguing, absurd and deliciously incomprehensible.
humanity cannot escape it's own psychology of compartmentalization, because it's been so useful for us in our survival. I don't see it ever changing in the mainstream.
Cringe it’s as simple as if people want to understand fashion they need to categorize it and making a core is a easy and simple way to do it.
when im at a looking pretentious competition and my opponent is fashion elitist holding a book
We both lose that
When I fall under the impulses of wanting to fit a certain aesthetic uniform under the basis of it "being cool" I try to think deeper about it. An example is how I love sci fi. To avoid being too costumey I focus on a slight abstraction like "cyberpunk in essence is about anachronism, so I should pair timeless peices with technical pieces." Rather than buying surface level sci fi looking pieces.
You got the right mentality about it
the knock scared me bro
Why? got somethin to hide? 🤨🤨🤨
You scared someone gonna catch you watching me???
no ghosts gonna catch me simping no way
i was looking to my right i thought something was knocking on my wall
Fr I had headphones on and I didn't even have a door to my right I was so confused 😭
I’m a “whateverilike-core” enjoyer
Glad you called out the absurd positivity on social media. The way I see it if all fashion is good then no fashion is good and we're just lost in an endless sea of inauthentic compliments.

Same. I find myself watching far more fashion content by men who dress this way than women - they don't seem to exist.
👩🏾
same, for some reason i find menswear fashion content way less restrictive. a lot of women’s fashion teaches you how to fit certain aesthetics but that there’s certain items you “can’t” wear.
Word 💪💪
Your outfit is so coquette ballet miu miu core ,we love you yapperrr☺️🎀
Yoooooo JQ got on that founding fathers core ‼️‼️‼️❗️
That knock ruined my day
My bad lmao
Why does “I might get destroyed on the plane” sound so much more dramatic than “I might die”?
Feels more final and all-encompassing somehow
My opinion is that dressing in a specific style/core is fine as long as you are:
a) Already part of the group who defined the aesthetic, i.e. started dressing that way organically
b) Genuinely interested in the history/significance behind the aesthetic and want to know more
c) Not part of the aesthetic but aware of the fact that they're just clothes, i.e. not letting them influence your personality/decisions
From what I gathered this video was more about a) and b), basically that you shouldn't be a poser and get into the lifestyle before the aesthetic, but imo that's not strictly necessary. Do people who wear bomber jackets need to join the army? Do people who wear cowboy boots have to start riding horses? Do people who wear Balenciaga have to become homeless? So on and so forth.
For me it's not that I'm trying to be something I'm not, it's the fact that trying to experience the lifestyle behind every aesthetic is not feasible, or those lifestyles are something I know I'm not interested in, whereas the clothing I am. At the end of the day I like buying clothing and wearing them, I'm not trying to embody the perceived personality behind every aesthetic, it's just a hobby for me.
LMAO the balenciaga homeless got me.
I definitely agree with you, and I think what JQ is saying isn’t wrong, but it’s also very restrictive. Like the way you put it with the bomber jacket example, it confines your style rather than letting you explore yourself and what you find beautiful/appealing.
I do think some people take it too far, but it doesn’t have to be that serious.
I feel the same way, where fashion is definitely something that is a part of me but at the end of the day, it is a hobby. It doesn’t always have to be that deep.
yeah i agree, as always balance is key
The comment section on this video is really interesting.
While I do see the point in what you are saying, I think that point a) is actually a bit restricting in itself.
In my opinion the "started dressing that way organically" doesn't imply intrisecally that one must be a part of a specific group.
Maybe I am overthinking a bit here, but let me explain via an example: let's suppose a person starts getting interested in the aesthetic of technical clothes - let's be more specific just for the sake of my example: gorpcore - does it mean that person must then start hiking and must find a group of hikers in order to understand the essence of gorpocore? (stupid example, I know, it's but just to give an idea of what I mean).
Belonging to a subculture or group can influence a person's aesthethic (and more generally their identity), but exploring other styles that do not belong to your group is also fine. Maybe we cannot label it as something that started organically, but if that persons sticks to a certain aesthethic long term, then I think this is also legit even if you don't experience it within a group ^^
If you are a post-secondary student, I strongly recommend using your institution to access their library and online catalogue of academic books and journals to research fashion and subcultures. There are heaps of information available that are otherwise not readily available or very expensive to attain.
I never expected Simon Petrikov to talk about coreification
Happy birthday! As one of the 8.5 sisters, this chanel was a huge catalyst to getting me into fashion, my first pair of Yohji pants are on their way and should be by my doorstep tomorrow, have a great day :)
also part of the 8.5%🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️one book i kept getting recommended in my design classes is things: a story of the sixties by georges perec which is abt consumerism (i have yet to read it but seems to still apply in this day and age) and another book i read on female gaze is le regard feminin by iris brey (i’m not sure it’s translated to english but maybe some of ur french viewers would be interested) that’s about the female gaze in cinema
also i started reading the disappearance of rituals (i asked it for my birthday after u recommended it in a livestream) and i’m having such a hard time reading it lmao
Ah bah merci
ayyyye glad to see you get sponsored. LFG, we so up rn.
"Copy and paste" is how most of us start experimenting with fashion. Or doing anything really. It's a safe way to explore different ways of dressing up. Some people stay there b/c it's easy and comfortable.
bro always posts bangers ty for sticking with your ideas and worldview throughout all of ur vids
This deeply resonated with me. I despise this core-ification but was never able put into words why as good as you did
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JQ, gonna be turning 26 as well in June 🤝 hope this new year’s gonna be filled w wholesomeness and gr8 vibes
happy birthday😊 i turn 19 on thursday, thank you for tour words… can say with confidence i have cried to one of your videos before. very thought provoking & eye-opening
I don’t ever comment on vids but ur smt special bro. Don’t ever stop doing what ur doing
Happy Birthday! Over a quarter of a century on this planet! Keep going with your unique voice!
Unless I’m stoped by the government then I shall continue to create for those who want to listen
Happy birthday JQ!
One of 9.1% sisters here. Important aspect of the core-ification is the indentity that comes with it. People in US from the way you build cities to the fact that it's an immigrant society makes you more prone to try to put yourselves in a box. If you can't describe in words who you are in a way that would make you similar to someone else are you anyone? The aesthetics are the last resort to feel any sort on community beacuse there are hardly any real ones left. Of course it's not only the US but you really dont help yourselves when you build your cities like you do. And thats why you all need to know what ethincty you are, becaue being just another white person isn't tied to any actual identity.
I will now use this vídeo as my source in college. Thank you
Please do!
happy birthday bro! also thanks for having fun/interesting takes on the idea of fashion/style. because in sydney australia... stlye and fashion is lowkey dead, but slowly getting better due to the idea of the internet spreading aesthetics and awareness. anyways hope you are doin well.
Appreciate it
Love the vibe,
Keep it up
Happy birthday jq!!
The realistic approach is unmatched
Everytime I see your thumbnails it feels like I am getting shot from multiple angles and not being to die but yet the pain is still there.
Happy Belated Birthday 🎂 🥳
I remember starting to learn about fashion on 4chan and I noticed I liked certain aspects of a few different cores and that slowly refined what I like today, but I can see how with other social media people could get carried away with it.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY love from Mexico
Happy birthday big man
The Hot Topic business model since at least the 90s, with a little section of the store for ravers, for goths, for punk, etc.
I think we’re just so desperate for a sense of belonging that we keep making trends after trends after trends. Because if there’s an aesthetic out there like business core and we like it,we want to meet groups of people that have that same style so we can feel like we actually do fit in and we’re not alone..And that we wouldn’t be considered as weird for having such a style because most are doing it. That’s my take on this whole thing and thanks for the video! You have a great way with words and you know how to explain something complicated in simpler terms :) keep up the great work. 💪🏻💪🏻💗
Love you buddy keep being awesome
Thanks! You too!
i really like the mini vlogs you do mid videos
Always gotta add them in to show I go outside 🧏🏻🤫
I may not know much about fashion cores but I feel like as a society we categorize objects and passions into cores or generalizations. Just like music, fashion has both good and bad, likes and dislikes, but nobody dresses the same way even if they follow the same trend. But I’ve always wondered why people love to hate. In a world of acceptance there seems to be an increasingly endless amount of judgment which appears to be a must to obtain an equilibrium. What I’m trying to get at is that in a society where everyone and everything is accepted why is it that I can’t wear certain clothes to school or why I get weird looks if I put my hair up when it’s hot out? Why is it that the image people put out into the world has to be them and they can’t change that when they are around people that only like who they present at school or at a party not who they are when they are at home in pajamas with bed head binging a show? Why is the world set up to where the equilibrium of acceptance and hate is skewed so far to the side of hate?
Happy Birthday good sir,
Surely bless us one day with a League stream
Happy Birthday JQ ❤
Ty ty
Happy birthday gang
Happy birthday 🎉
I used to constantly try to fit into certain aesthetics, basing my entire wardrobe and personality on that. when I really grew up, I just take what emphasizes my figure, what I feel comfortable in and what reflects MY preferences in the vision of beauty. Moreover, your vision of style can be expressed in details: accessories and personal changes in clothing
luv your coquette thing going on
I love the outfit Fashion Elitist. Very Cottage Core Dark Academia Old Money of you. Just total grandpa vibes. Where do you thrift? Let’s meet at the flea market this Sunday. I know those pants are probably archive Yohji, but I bet they’d pair great with a vintage tee.
Damn dude, happy birthday, no joke I literally just turned 26 too while I was on vacation in Japan
Bro just passed off Kartik Research as a random pop up 😭
Loved the vid tho, really like the commentary+vlog video form

Byung-Chul Han is a great author and tie in to the video, The Scent of Time is my personal favorite of his.
HAPPY 1 YEAR OF FRONTAL LOBE🙏🙏🙏🙏
Good video from my favorite twnk ❤
happy birthday unc (im 27 this year)
LETS GO 26-28 is limbo
I think u will always copy even if you have the lifestyle thats is part of the subculture, people in groups will also copy each-other kinda like a peer pressure if u go to punk concerts u will see a lot of people with leather clothes so u will feel the need to get one to feel included we are humans and the most important part in our evolution is copying eachother/ learning, copying is learning, so if you search a way to stop copying other people, you are just lying to yourself every human copys and will copy, copying is what makes us grow mentally. we just have to accept and not let consumerism take over our fragile mechanism
Happy bday . I do believe women are generally more generally socially accepted to dress a lil more differently or “aestheically” whilst men are usually expected to dress more generically or simpler. It does also tie to the common stereotype of men into fashion “ all being gay” and therefore usually avoiding more flamboyant pieces of clothing. On that note it does make me happy to see ppl and men so openly into fashion like u, regards from ur 7(8?)% and from south america.
this is so i-got-distracted-and-accidentally-made-a-vlog-core
happy birthday
I get it. In the game I play which allows players to dress-up with different pieces of outfits, shoes, and other accessories, the avatar/character you play with can appear to be associated with a certain aesthetic or feel a different attitude by the ensemble they are wearing.
I don't take what what character wears as a statement or anything, yet they do give off a "core aesthetic" of something by one accessory I have it wear or the whole look it has.
The weapon they have can also have its appearance change. Being an MMORPG, that doesn't restrict players into classes but still allows them to be of a certain battle style adds to the overall look as well.
If I gave my character bunny ears (there are different kinds too), I give my character a "kemonomimi" (beast ear) core but I tend to have it wear casual street wear clothes, which gives it another layer.
If I have it wear a magician's top-hat with a domino-mask and long-coat, my character transforms into a mash-up of clown/magician core.
If I give my character a helmet with horns, a long-sleeved garb which has pants and have it wear a pointed tail while it carries a staff; they have a "warlock" core.
I would also like to add, the different kinds of pets. Some are straight up vehicles you can ride but behave like sentient creatures. Others are animals like dogs, cats, horses. While the rest meet the fantasy theme of dragons, imps, etc.. Riding a dragon or a car while wearing a different ensemble of clothing can also change the core-aesthetics of the character.
he got the bag!!!

🎈 Happy Belated Birthday 🎈
balls... thanks
I wear Yohji, not only because of the looks, runways history etc, but more because I'm hella depressed :D
I wear it for his main idea of hiding the body, to cover up, and be hidden
@@fashionelitist Guess I need to study more about Yohjis History
Can you make a video on taking care of clothes, special fabrics like wool, how to make sure they last you for a long time?

Creaky floorboards core
Where did you get that shirt/blouse??? I wanna look like a shaggy vampire too
appearing to be and being aren't clearcut in something socially produced like fashion. in many cases appearing to be is the same as being. if you appear to be intimidating to someone you are intimidating if you appear to be stylish to someone you are stylish, by being perceived in a certain way you literally become that perception in the mind of the person perceiving you.
I feel like your personal style should be an accurate bi-product of what you do, rather than your fashion dictating what you do. I dress the way I do because I have skated my whole life. I didn’t get into skating so I could dress the way I do now, I skateboard because I enjoy it, and the way I dress is simply a result of that.

happy birthday darling

I feel like “fashion” is imploding. I believe All the originators are going to move away from what’s considered fashion these days. I think its gonna be more about lifestyle, then just what your wearing. The clothes will always be apart of it, but I think lifestyle will be the Main factor
I definitely see that going around
how do you feel about diddybop
eating a mousse while watching this , have my finals tomorrow , is this the male gaze?
Wait I think it is
im getting into visual kei am i a poser and should try something else?
i just wanna live my lifeeee
shoutout to the yaxi porta pros
As an ugly guy who tries to dress kinda niche it feels like Im set up for failure bc I either dress inauthentically and feel worse and get slightly more attention or dress more for myself which I was told would be ultimately better bc of confidence but ends up resulting in much fewer meaningful interactions despite definitely feeling better about myself. I hate to be so cliche but man there's rly no fucking chance if u dont have beauty privilege it really is just GGs
As one of the 8.5 gals, I really want to tell you that everything is alright, you’ll get the girl eventually, and that life is full of sunshine and rainbows but I’d hate to lie to you. All I say is that even as a mid-looking girl, I haven’t been approached because of my “exaggerated” style. Things are rough out here. Wishing us both luck 🍀
@@ferdaousselmoussaid8843 it can be really difficult to feel adequate! I'm sorry that u feel that way too, you nor anyone else deserves to feel ugly. Hopefully being true to your sense of style brings u the confidence and authenticity people say is so attractive!! Although I need to listen to that myself.. Wishing u luck too :)
