Today, we’re talking about Recession Core. This is something I heard about early on in 2023 and I thought it was a really interesting topic. I think we’re seeing more and more of this as we get further into the year. I would love to hear your thoughts!

Recession Core is a term used to describe a genre of music that has gained popularity in recent years. The style is characterized by its lo-fi, DIY production, and emotionally raw lyrics, which often touch on themes of mental health, isolation, and desperation. It has been defined as a musical movement that speaks to the feeling of being stuck in a tough economic and political climate.
Although the term “Recession Core” is relatively new, the genre itself has been around since the mid-2000s. It emerged in response to the Great Recession, a financial crisis that lasted from 2007 to 2009 and resulted in widespread job loss and economic turmoil. Many young people found themselves struggling to make ends meet and feeling disillusioned with the world around them. Recession Core became a way to channel that frustration and sense of hopelessness into creative expression.
Musically, Recession Core draws from a variety of genres, including punk, grunge, and indie rock. It’s known for its gritty, distorted sound, often created using cheap recording equipment and lo-fi techniques like tape hiss and feedback. Lyrically, it’s marked by its frank and often confessional tone, with many artists using their music as a way to process their own struggles with mental health and personal relationships.
One of the key characteristics of Recession Core is its emphasis on authenticity. Many of the artists associated with the genre eschew polished production and glossy marketing in favor of a more DIY approach. They often record and distribute their music independently, using social media and Bandcamp to connect with fans directly. This has helped to create a strong sense of community around the genre, with fans and artists supporting each other through difficult times.
Recession Core has been embraced by a diverse group of listeners, many of whom are drawn to its raw honesty and DIY ethos. It has also been criticized by some for being too self-indulgent or depressing, with some arguing that it romanticizes feelings of despair and hopelessness. However, many fans and artists see it as a way to confront difficult emotions and find connection in a world that often feels alienating and isolating.
Overall, Recession Core is a musical movement that has emerged as a response to the economic and political challenges of the last decade. While it’s still a relatively niche genre, it has inspired a dedicated following and given voice to a generation of young people struggling to make sense of a world in flux.
Your comments about fashion trends are very thought provoking. I had never heard of the specific trend of "Recession Core," but it does make sense. If you did have money, why throw it in other people's faces? As well as making yourself a target for theft! I've been on both ends of the spectrum of wealth, but have never liked drawing attention to myself and have never owned anything flashing a logo.
ive already read up on some of the stuff about recession core n it was nice to still learn more ( like abt the hemline index ) so ill definitely subscribe !!!
also i rly like ur voice 😀
Thank you for the metion!! Also love that you relayed it to Coachella, as it does look quite different from previous years. Also I like how you referenced it being fear of the recession as opposed to the recession itself. Because apparently we're not even in a recession.. even though I've felt like we've been in one for the last 4 years lol
I just discovered you and your content is excellent. Well researched and great points.
I have never heard of core recession before your video but think this is a discussion worth having great video ❤
Speaking of robbing – Bvlgari in Paris just got broken into in broad day light and 8 mil worth jewellery and watches stolen
I would never ask a friend to not wear something that makes them happy just because I can't afford it… I'd be happy that they enjoy what they have…
Oh gosh, I’m clearly not moved by any of this recession talk. I just bought myself a bunch of mini dresses!! I love glitzy handbags and whilst that’s not trending in this recession, I can’t live with boring basic handbags. I’ve been selling my more inconveniently small bags and my black bags. I need my bags to make me think recession isn’t affecting me lol.
I've been wearing what I'd call "Homeless Fashion" or "Senior Living Wear". Have you seen homeless people and senior citizens, if you've seen their clothes and how they mix and match items, it actually looks cool, with one exception though, I get mine tailored. I walked into Gucci and one CA thought I was wearing Retro Dolce & Gabanna from the 90's.
Whew!! I feel better that I'm not the only one who has never heard of recession core. LOOOL but it makes sense. When things are hard, we tend to go into reserve mode, and society can even judge those who look extravagant during a recession. I agree with your analysis. Great topic to discuss for the times we are in.
Maybe, with the expected June 1st. "Debt Crisis", we can expect maxi skirts.
