Jojocore is an aesthetic based around the manga franchise Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
Visuals[]
Jojocore is highly vibrant and colorful, reflecting on the entire franchise as a whole. Symbols from the canonical series, such as stars and oddly colored patterns, are used, along with avant-garde fashion and a small sense of cohesiveness. DIY fashion is highly encouraged, like the characters and their distinctive fashion.
Fashion[]
Due to Araki's evolving taste and use of avant garde fashion, Jojocore can vary in its fashion. There are subsets of fashion depending on which era of Jojo you wish to embody.
