    Cottagecore – Escaping to the Pastoral Dream
    Jun 19 2025
    This episode explores cottagecore's rise during the pandemic as a romanticized escape to rural simplicity, examining its visual elements of florals, baking, and vintage aesthetics alongside deeper cultural meanings around gender expression, resistance to hustle culture, and yearning for authentic experiences. We analyze both the movement's appeal as a form of self-care and community building, as well as critiques regarding class privilege, racial exclusion, and the romanticization of agricultural labor.
