Cartooncore

Cartooncore is an aesthetic centered completely around Western animation (specifically in America or Canada), as opposed to Animecore, which has more of a focus on Japanese animation. This aesthetic is mostly centered around current cartoons on popular streaming services, such as Netflix and Hulu.
== Visual ==
Given the long, rich history of animation, there is a lot for Cartooncore enthusiasts to draw inspiration from:
* 1920s-1930s Rubberhose animation (Disney, Fleischer, and Warner Bros)
* 40's (Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry)
*50's-70's (United Productions of America "UPA", Hanna-Barbera, and Fritz the Cat)
* 80's (He-Man, She-Ra, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, and TMNT)
* 90's (Ren & Stimpy, Beavis and Butthead, Ed, Edd n Eddy, and Johnny Bravo)
* 2000's (Teen Titans, Danny Phantom, 6teen, and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy)
* 2010's (Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, and Steven Universe)
* Kids (Kim Possible, Jimmy Neutron, and The Powerpuff Girls)
*Adult (The Simpsons, South Park, Clone High, Daria, and Cool World)
*Late 90s-present-Flash/Newgrounds/YouTube animations (Eddsworld, Nyan Neko Sugar Girls, Sugoi Quest for Kokoro, Battle for Dream Island, Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss, etc.)
Cartooncore can either focus on a specific cartoon, animation, or movie or it can simply draw from the aesthetics of the style and create something completely new and unique to introduce into the world. Due to the fact that there is a lot more variety to western animation compared to the relative uniformity of anime, there is room for multiple sub genres of Cartooncore to pop up. Cartooncore also is closely related to Nostalgiacore because many people grew up watching cartoons over the past couple of decades.
== Fashion ==
With cartoons comes a lot of merchandise. Merchandising for cartoons were especially popular during the 80s, such as toys for He-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Transformers. Cartooncore people may wear shirts with logos and characters on them, and may have pins referencing a favorite show. Other items might include:
*Cartoon merchandise
*Bold colors
*V-necks
*Clothes straying away from societal norms
*Pixel art

== Cartooncore Variants ==
===Disneycore, Vintage Disneycore, and Princess Disneycore===
Disneycore is an aesthetic based around all things Disney. Vintage Disneycore is based around old classic Disney films and shows, whether as Princess Disneycore is constructed around Disney Princesses (classic or modern). Fashion includes Disney merch, jeans, and Mickey/Minnie Mouse ears and/or backpacks. Disneycore fans enjoy music such as Disney movie scores, musical songs, and remixes of Disney music.
=== UPA Revival ===
UPA Revival is an aesthetic that revolves heavily around the style of cartoons produced by United Productions of America during the 50s-60s. These cartoons had a unique style incorporating Modernism and thick outlines, but the style became unpopular in the 1980s. The UPA revival started when the style began to be used again in 1990s-2000s cartoons such as Clone High.

=== Rubberhose ===
Main article: Rubberhose
Rubberhose is an animation style that originated from the 1920s. In this style, characters were drawn with simplified limbs and joints, without many anatomical details, allowing them to move in an exaggerated and elastic manner. It became revived in 2017 with the release of the video games Cuphead and Bendy and the Ink Machine that were a homage to old cartoons.
