👁️ What is Conspiracycore?
In a time when everyone carries a smartphone but trusts nothing, Conspiracycore has emerged as one of Gen Z’s most unexpected subcultures. It's a bizarre blend of digital art, TikTok trends, paranoia, vaporwave, VHS-style edits, and—yes—conspiracy theories. But unlike your uncle ranting on Facebook about lizard people, this is aestheticized, stylized, and drenched in irony.
Think glitchy videos of deserted malls, captions like “they’re watching,” lo-fi alien drawings, security camera footage with no one in frame—and millions of views. It's the vibe of The X-Files meets Tumblr 2013 meets your local abandoned Kmart.
