Witcher is not the first medieval fantasy show or game.
Memes using the Bayeux tapestry were a reasonably active niche a few years ago, I suspect this phenomenon is derived from that.
- mixedCase 6y agoThe Witcher, the Netflix show, has a bard song which became a popular earworm. I'm confident it has played a part in the popularization of Bardcore as a meme/genre.
- booleandilemma 6y agoPretty sure normies learned about bards from The Witcher and not, say, EverQuest.
- kroltan 6y agoHas Bardcore reached "normies" at all yet?
- throwawaynothx 6y agoYou're here arnt you.
- xcambar 6y agoOr maybe people with a regular western European education didn't wait for the Witcher to know what a bard is. That's like... hundreds of millions of people. Most of them "normies" by your standards, certainly :)
- watt 6y agoI think the juxtaposition of modern writing and wit in Witcher with the not-really-medieval society stuck with pre-steam technology might be the catalyst for creating the Bardcore genre.
