Slutcore is an aesthetic that combines vibrant colors and independent femininity with themes of explicit and unabashed sexuality. Similar to Bimbocore , it reclaims terms like "slut," "whore," and "bimbo" to celebrate female sexuality and sexual expression. The aesthetic is not gender-specific, but it is more popular with women. The Slutcore community strives to be sex-positive and inclusive, advocating for self-love, confidence, and acceptance of all forms of sexuality. It is also associated with leftist political views, anti-racism, and sex work positivity.

Media usually centers on protagonists who embrace their sexuality and share the values of the aesthetic without being shamed or accepting the shame of others for their lifestyles.

As a musical genre, slutcore is categorized as fast-paced electronic pop music accompanied by sexually explicit lyrics. It is almost always made by female artists, as the aesthetic centers around embracing female sexuality.
