from what i've come to understand it, things like 'emocore' and 'scenecore' are like the kids new way of playing w/ old emo / scene aesthetics. it's like emo/scene aesthetics rlly emphasised w/ the addition of new cultural stuff too that the kids like to make it like.....not a /parody/ of the culture but like the culture watered down to its aesthetics and then those aesthetics turned to 1000? if that makes sense. Its very much based on the AESTHETICS of those subcultures rather than any ACTUAL cutlure that they used to hold. I still think its fun tho. im glad the kids are still being weird and having fun w/ it all :3

That really explains it well, thank you very much!
