This explains a lot, thanks. My only exposure to cottagecore is as a hashtag on aesthetic photos that pretty much look like my broke country friends' houses, it sounds like there's a lot more to it and an insidious set of values underneath.

I didn't actually know aesthetics had influencers, turns out that I know even less about this than I thought.

It's the difference between people living a lifeway in their own community and people outside that community selling an idealized version of that lifeway.

Your broke country friends aren't fascists or colonialists for living the way they live. The rich white influencers selling poverty chic? I look at them a lot more suspiciously.
