I Think A Lot Of Cryptidcore Fashion Certainly Fits Into That Description, But A Lot Of The Textposts/moodboards

i think a lot of cryptidcore fashion certainly fits into that description, but a lot of the textposts/moodboards seem to mostly be "i want to run into the woods and become mothman" — and don't get me wrong, that's a great vibe. but since cryptid academia was based on old school ufo/cryptid journalists from the 50's (and some modern ghost hunters) it might be a better fit for what op is looking for!

Honestly I love the cryptidcore aesthetic but as someone who's always wanted to be a cryptozoologist, I wish the whole thing wasn't just people who wanted to BE cryptids. What if I wanted to be a paranoid researcher in a trench coat who swears they saw aliens?

Especially if you have cryptid friends.. cryptids you will always have a place on my red string corkboard......

A hunting knife, flashlight, .38 special revolver, canvas rucksack filled with supplies, hatchet, brown flannel shirt, pair of worn-out hiking boots, pair of headphones, satchel, leather-bound journal, enough pens and a ticket to somewhere like oregon or colorado would fix me

Cryptid fans🤝 will wood fans

Oh? My "antlers are off-putting"? My "teeth are a bit...you know... fangy"? "Moss isn't supposed to grow on your belly"?

Sweety you need to get out more.

It's called fashion.
