🖱️Webcore (also known as Early Internet, Retro Web Design, Old Web and sometimes Internetcore) – aesthetic that expresses nostalgia for Internet culture of the early 1990s to early 2010s (spanning from roughly the release of the World Wide Web up until Flat Design and smartphones were popularized, so around 2015). Inspiration for Webcore are Memphis Lite, Y2K Futurism and Frutiger Aero eras, also partially overlapping with Vaporwave. Webcore also has its subgenres which are 2010s Internet, Digital Oddity and Old Meme.

Webcore utilizes retro web/tech design elements, for example screencaps, GIFs, clip-art and video games and combines it with aspects of poetry and self-expression. Webcore's philosophical heart yearns for the days of uninhibited individualism of the old Web, before the internet became streamlined and social media monopolized how people communicated, and web graphic design developed a stricter set of rules for the „dos” and „don'ts” for the sake of accessibility and marketing.
