So I was reading some classic HG Wells the other day when a friend of mine started laughing and saying "tips fedora" to me.
Since when has he been fedoracore?

no worries op, it doesn't count unless an actual fedora was tipped in your general direction.

Top kek. How long until people actually say "top kek" in real life?

You should kill your friend. Last time I saw a bunch of /mu/ memespouters in a concert with a constanza shirt.

This is going way too far.

One or two little douchers whatever, but a group anon? You were seeing memecore.

But really, you should kill your friend.

And who cares what he says, HG Wells is good. But if we are to define -core not by any particular tropes/elements inherent to the work -- though with Wells you could make the argument he does possess the elements, or at least he must have the elements if it attracts fedoras -- and instead to works favored by a subculture/group of people, then yes, he's fedoracore, though not as entry-level as, say, Dune/Ender's Game/ISOIAF/etc. But who gives a shit.

HG Wells isn't fedora core. People just use that meme willy nilly now because its popular and they want to feel like they're part of something big.
