[science-bastard]

on the twelfth day of sciencemas, my lab-mate gave to me- twelve stolen organs, eleven noxious gases, ten lab rats testing, nine klaxons blaring, eight geiger counters, seven petri dishes, six pairs of goggles, five circuitboards! four glowing goos, three henchmen, two laser beams, and a lab coat that’s tailored to me!

Hazardcore is an aesthetic that’s already existed for a long time, but that I’ve incorporated into my near-post-scarcity worldbuilding project.

What do people in such a post scarcity world do? With no job, free rent, free food, free internet, a monthly stipend around $1500 (2023 continental US buying power… ish) and hobby shops nearby, hiking trails everywhere, drugs, power tools, and spray paint available for a reasonable price, all delivered by automated train from… y’know… over there. Somewhere.

The (a) result is Hazardcore, a movement of people who enjoy dangerous hobbies of all kinds sharing their experiences and custom gear online, seeking out ways to top themselves and each other, design and build new equipment to do it, and make sure you’ve got the skill and balls to pull it off.

I doodle fashion designs, but that can tell part of the story. They incorporate a lot of caution stripes, warning labels, and bright colors, both for fun and because it can legit save your life.

And as any subculture that people devote their entire lives to has, it’s developed more… frivolous fashion as well. Sometimes fashion gets in the way of safety and… well, medical care is also free and bloodstains fit the aesthetic.

And a lot of people die. It’s widely socially discouraged. Some people call it a cult.

decided today that my personal aesthetics could be termed hazardcore

palette is a mix of faded pastels (mint, cream, dusty pink) and biohazardous warning sign colors (fuchsia, neon yellow, mustard, chartreuse, cherenkov blue)

patterns are minimal as accents, typically gore-themed

texture is important; lace emulates deterioration, while layering sheer garments allows for interplay of colors

heavy lean on iridescent details, with preference for opalescence and "oil slick" chroma in particular

the colors and textures should be implemented in styles that are atypical for them. think how the victorians used color, except with any fashion era. bonus points to mix eras or do a retro version, esp. if you can combine one era in neon with another in pastel. this juxtaposition heightens the "wrongness" of it, and thus the appeal

when i started writing this, i knew where i was going with it... but now that i've put in the mental effort to break it down to its essentials, i don't know what i was trying to say about it other than "lol -core"

and only after writing this up did i think i ought to search the term to see if it already existed, and of course it does. strangely, while my version of details is tailored to my personal tastes, the widely accepted aesthetic definition does seem compatible
