About this episode
Gorpcore is a hiking-inspired aesthetic that was first identified in a 2017 article published in The Cut. On this week’s episode of Silent Generation, Joseph begins by interviewing Nathan about his gorpcore-esque wardrobe. The boys then detail the various elements of the aesthetic (outerwear, technical fabrics, face concealment, and high definition landscapes) before introducing a vintage sub-aesthetic they call “lindy gorpcore.” Towards the later half of the episode they discuss Death Stranding 1 and its recent sequel Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, which are standout examples of the gorpcore aesthetic in gaming.    Links:  Gorpcore Pinterest Board: https://www.pinterest.com/silentgeneration/gorpcore/  Lindy Gorpcore Pinterest Board: https://www.pinterest.com/silentgeneration/lindy-gorpcore/   r/Gorpcore  A Guide To: Gorpcore Everything to Know About Gorpcore, the Outdoorsy Trend Celebs Love The Origins of GORP by Ashley Brown First Came Normcore.
