personally i think traumacore is perfectly fine. i don’t use traumacore, but if vent art can be seen as healthy and valid then trauamcore can be as well. in fact, i think that vent art and traumacore should be classified as the same thing because there is very little distinction. the name “traumacore” is already putting these people in a position to be fake claimed as it can easily be mistaken as an aesthetic, and people unfortunately have a tendency to associate anything that combines cute and dark themes with romanticization, so i feel like abandoning the word “traumacore” and calling it vent art instead would be really beneficial to the community as vent art is more widely accepted.
I suffered a great loss while my dad passed away and I was alone when i found him, and for years i was groomed by my ex boyfriend for years online, and I use traumacore to help me to deal with the pain i suffered, I'm greatful for my current boyfriend who helped me understand that my ex was a horrible person, and yes adults, especially adults with mental health issues can be groomed. I have autism and it made it easy for my ex to manipulate me
i think traumacore is lovely, when its not done by younger kids, unless their mature and dont know what else to use to cope wit!! i used to do traumacore and i always put trigger warning ⚠ ⚠!! you explained it so well, and even though i dont use it i have benifited from it!! thankyou for being SO respectufl and not rude to my past community! u make this a lovely space
I find traumacore to be very interesting. This is going to sound WAY off point, but I think traumacore has the potential to branch into different sub topics where trauma can be explored and vented. That sounds really strange, but I say this because the places in which people will experience their trauma vary. Say someone experienced trauma during their time in university; the aesthetic could draw from things relative to a uni, rather than strickly childhood imagery. I imagine in the future the creation of trauma sub-cores being made along with their respective communities where people can take deeper comfort. Definitely an interesting topic. Great video!
I'm a 33 year old mom, and I stumbled across this stuff because I make liminal space pairings with music, so I'm always browsing. Pictures like this come up. I've had trauma in my early childhood, and I actually wish people had been more open toward vent art and this type of thing when I was in my teens and twenties! I think dark art often can help us validate out feelings and it helps us attach our pain to something concrete and external. I can't explain it thoroughly, but because I write emotional poetry in dark tones and have since I was about 12 or 13 (my work has improved significantly and it's regarded well, but that isn't even the objective) people's creations in any medium resonate with me deeply. I think it's important. Certain songs can be vent art, paintings, drawings...and I've even smelled some strange and haunting perfumes. From one format to the next, it's interesting to note that as humans we do seek to exude our internal landscape into something creative, we also desire to publish it (often, not always) and find like minded people...or maybe the better term would be "like-hearted"? It's depressing in and of itself to see people cut others down for creating something they're not comfortable with. It's doubly depressing because the content creators have suffered and I think it's paramount to "salt in the wound". Again, I write dark poetry with disturbing language, which doesn't always go over well, especially to those who haven't endured trauma. It's also important to note a dynamic known as "artistic license", and to understand that people aren't always literal in their renderings. It's often hyperbolic to some degree, but that it feels better to express emotions more dramatically than we would in standard conversation. I also have a heart for others who have been through some stuff and wish I could offer support. I hope people don't take criticism seriously and continue to create things that help. Those are my thoughts 😊
I use trauma core myself. It is a good way for me to cope and the best way I can explain it is it's like angry music for your eyes. You get to feel the feelings you need without hurting yourself or others and know that by the end of posting it you are safe. It's always good to let your feelings out in this way at least in my opinion.
When i was 3 years old my mom me in a baldorf kindergarten, the teachers used to be mean with us and obligated us to sleep while nap time, i wasnt used to sleep at day but she obligated me to stay in bed and i couldnt get out of the nap room. After a week my mom noticed me that i didnt want to watch tv and when she tried to show me my favourite show i started crying and talking about how evil it was. One time i was in the kindergarten and i asked the teacher about where my mom was and she yelled at me furious "YOUR MOM IS NOT HERE!! SHE IS NOT HERE! SHE WILL NEVER COME BACK, SHE LEFT YOU HERE!" thing that ofc wasnt true, they used to be violent with the kids and tell us horror stories about electricity and stuff, one time all kids were out and i entered the house without no one noticing, i saw the bathroom door opened and i looked inside, what i saw was traumatizing but i cant remember what it was, all i can say is that i pissed my pants and when the teacher asked me if she could change my clothes i started crying and trying to escape. My mom got me out of the kindergarten and i never came back there, i did not smile until a week after. 12 years after i still trying to figure out what happened.
I have just learn about trauma core. because I was watching a edit and it said trauma core in the title and I look it up. because I have never heard of trauma core before until today.
Trauma core has a kind of aesthetic becauss it has these innocent themes and its similiar to weirdcore or oddcore but it has this soft or childlike themes and then maybe texts or stuff that arent innocent or showcase some traumatic events or what not like sa, csa, ca, Suiçide or SH so it is like a cutesy and innocent compounded with these types of themes its hard to explain lol
I mean, traumacore is oriented thematically rather than aesthetically. It uses elements from various aesthetics like weirdcore, morute, cutegore etc. to convey a common theme. So it is technically true that it's not an aesthetic. However, that doesn't keep me from relating to it the same way as to aesthetics like doomer or dark academia. While I do have a trauma history myself, I have no "therapeutic" intent for seeking out traumacore content. I just like sad, gloomy, melancholic, neurotic, angsty, eerie, morbid, macabre, romantic, tragic, cynical, pessimistic, nihilistic, misanthropic, negative stuff. These days it seems you're not allowed to enjoy stuff like that without a psychiatric prescription. This whole "romanticizing mental illness" discourse really is the new satanic panic and psychiatrists are the new priests. You can't gatekeep something as subjective as art and its reception. That's not how it works. If you want it to be art therapy you should share it with your therapist and no one else. Because the second you put it out there in the general public they are free to respond to it any way they wish. I'm an old-fashioned liberal, especially when it comes to art. I will enjoy whatever art I like for whatever reason I like. You don't get a say in that and neither would my therapist.
