Anglocore

Anglocore involves the use of English-themed motifs to generate images with themes of patriotic sentiment for England and English ethno-culture. It has been seen as an expression of indigenous pride of the English people as any image perceived as inherently English falls under the Anglocore banner. It draws similarity to Americana as both are based on patriotic elements of their respective country.
== History ==
Anglocore emerged as an aesthetic and cultural movement in the early 2010s, primarily influenced by online communities and social media platforms. While there is no definitive origin or creator associated with Anglocore, it gained traction through various blogs, forums, and image-sharing platforms where enthusiasts shared their love for British culture.
The aesthetic draws inspiration from different periods of British history, ranging from the Victorian era to the mid-20th century. It often incorporates elements of British literature, such as the works of Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters, and other renowned British authors. Classic novels like "Pride and Prejudice," "Wuthering Heights," and "Emma" have become influential in shaping the Anglocore aesthetic.
The movement gained broader recognition and popularity through the dissemination of Anglocore-inspired content on social media platforms like Tumblr, Instagram, and Pinterest. Enthusiasts shared their personal interpretations of the aesthetic, curated mood boards, and engaged in discussions about British culture, history, and lifestyle.
Anglocore has since evolved and diversified, with subgenres and variations emerging to explore different aspects of British culture. These variations include themes like "Cottagecore," which romanticizes rural British life, and "Royalcore," which celebrates the British monarchy and regal aesthetics.
==Visual==
Anglocore visuals have a strong focus on the flag of St George and an overarching theme of English patriotism. Prominent colours include red and white, often alongside pink, purple or magenta hues. Images are often accompanied by patriotic quotes from figures such as William Shakespeare, Cecil Rhodes, and a variety of English monarchs and politicians. Anglocore may also focus on ideas of glory through classical architecture and war. 
While many Anglocore-esque images appear more Vaporwave-like, almost any image perceived as inherently English can be included under the Anglocore umbrella.
