Alright, thanks for responding 

So like the Weirdcore crowd has this particular concept of what is Weirdcore that I don't understand, and if I disregarded the Old Web aesthetic and focused on the written definition of Weirdcore, which seems to contradict the concept, then it might stop being a valid entry in terms of being Weirdcore.

Similarly, if I tackled Dreamcore or Liminal Spaces in a way that made more sense to me, but didn't fit what people expect from those, then it wouldn't be valid in terms of being Dreamcore or Liminal.

So pretty much I'm wanting to be sure how much I can deviate from traditional interpretations.

The written definitions make a kind of sense, e.g. Dreamcore being Dream-like, Weirdcore being disturbing/confusing/etc., Liminality being transitional, and so on. But then I look at what is being labeled Dreamcore, and it's not Dream-like, and Weirdcore is mostly not weird, disturbing, or confusing.

Are we able to tackle these aesthetics in ways that contradict the traditional representation, and still have our game qualify?

So you can render anything so long as it's ascii, even if it's effectively a filter?
