Dressing in technical outdoor gear as streetwear: Arc'teryx shells, Salomon sneakers, Patagonia fleeces. Function-as-fashion. "GORP" = trail mix. Term coined by Jason Chen at The Cut in 2017; got a huge 2023 revival via Arc'teryx resale markets.
"She wears Arc'teryx everywhere and she's never hiked. Peak gorpcore."

Gorpcore is a fashion aesthetic of technical outdoor gear (Patagonia jackets, hiking boots, GORP-trail-mix vibes) worn in everyday city contexts. Not concerning, just fashion. If your kid uses it constantly, ask them where they first heard it, not to police their speech but to understand which online community they are in. Most slang of this kind moves through TikTok and group chats, so seeing it in your child's vocabulary just means they are plugged into normal teen internet culture.
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

The aesthetic vocabulary of how people dress now — quiet luxury, coquette, mob wife, coastal grandmother, Y2K core, and every "-core" that came after.
