Bright colors. Old-School Charm. Portland is a magical kidcore fantasyland.
Relive the rainbow-themed, beanie babies laden 90s childhood you had or wish you had. While you may not actually be able to jump back in time there are a few places that can help you feel like you have. Take a turn through the classics like candy shop Rocket Fizz (over 200 kinds of candy!) or party supply shop, The Lippman Company where you can find just about any color paper streamers. Major Jojo Siwa vibes. Next up, head to Ice Queen (Popsicles!) or Toast'd (pop tarts!) for a childhood snack and end your day at 90s themed dance club Jones or Ground Kontrol Arcade. For a trip a bit further afield, head to Enchanted Forest and stroll through Storybook Lane with a mixture of preschool kids and college stoners. Long live childhood.
RIP: JJ Jump - we'll always miss you.
Kidcore is an aesthetic that centers around bright colors, nostalgia for icons from the 90s, and/or kid themes. While its origins can be traced back to the 1990s, it appears the aesthetic is a nostalgia-based creation of the 2010s.
