Chunky white trainers, a fleece, cargo shorts, a bucket hat, tube socks and the general silhouette of a man looking for the car — dadcore — as the 2017 fashion moment when Balenciaga sold an ugly sneaker for $800 and the internet decided the suburban father had been right all along. The record's entry for the look that was a trend for the young and a Tuesday for the old.
Here lies Dadcore. Survived by three brand accounts, a merchandise line, and an explainer video with a very calm voice-over. Cause of death: became just clothes.
The record notes dadcore's sub-species 'vacation dad' — Hawaiian shirt, sandals, a camera — and that all of it was normcore with a beer, and that it died when the trainers just became trainers.
What does it mean? Write it the way you would say it out loud.
