Weathercore

Weathercore is an aesthetic based around the 80's-90's TWC (The Weather Channel) broadcasts along with other retro news and broadcasting stations of that time; this can include things like Weatherstar4000 images, Radar images, old TWC music, broadcast videos and more. The majority of Weathercore samples and images rightfully belong to The Weather Channel, NBC Universal, Weatherscan, Allen Media Group and other broadcasting channels. 
==Origins==
The origins of Weathercore's core theme started around the 1980s, notably 1982, which was the year of The Weather Channel's first appearance. The following is a list of prominent events from The Weather Channel. 
*1982 - Birth of WS3000 
*1991 - Earliest WS4000's 
*1997 - Creation of the EAS 
*2005 - Minor TWC Rebrand 
*2012 - "News-like era" 
*2013 - 1st Major TWC Rebrand 
*2014 - Death of WS4000 
*2019 - 2nd Major TWC Rebrand
==Philosophy ==
Much of the philosophy of Weathercore centers around the visuals, sounds and stories associated with the aesthetic.

==Music==
Weathercore is strongly associated with sounds that provoke nostalgia or fear. The most recognizable being the sirens waning only minutes away from the perceived disaster, and the bumpers and stings of stations whether national or local, grabbing the attention of onlookers preparing for a peer into the future.
