Gloomcore

Gloomcore is an aesthetic inspired by the tranquil forests and foggy beaches of the Pacific Northwest, and obscure hobbies and interests. The aim is to appreciate the quiet through dim surroundings. Those who take a liking to this genre tend to find beauty in cloudy skies, foggy coastlines and tall, endless green forests. Gloomcore folks love all things odd and otherworldly. It's like nature, but with a darker tone. 
== Visuals ==
Forests with mosses and lichens, lots of plants, tall trees, and fog covering up the tops of the trees are the noticeable things you can find in forests that aren't bustling with energy or have any crowded spaces. Another good example is a hazy beach with no sun anywhere to be seen, just light brown sand and water with slow, grey waves stretching for miles.
Most places revolve around forests and beaches, though there also might be rivers, streams, lakes, and other bodies of water, including puddles. Moors, mountains and other landforms where you can overlook a beautiful view are also appreciated natural aspects of Gloomcore. People who associate themselves with this aesthetic tend to focus on irregular and wondrous things or ideas, like the angle of light on water, cryptid sightings and long forest walks.
The weather is supposed to have mellow, dreamy and slightly ethereal undertones that possibly lead to long thought processes and the bubbling of one's imagination. Though something like the rain, cold seasons, fall, winter, thunderstorms and lightning storms are prevalent, quiet foggy days mist, and even dry skies filled with petrichor count as well.
