Shantycore (Patreon)

Some of you might already know this, but it seems that classic sea shanties have been trending on Tiktok and Youtube, with people singing, covering, and collaborating to make various shanties, most notably "The Wellerman". More interesting are the number of remixes people have done, either of classic shanties or by taking modern-day pop songs and turning them into shanty-like tunes. It reminded me of all the "Bardcore" covers I've listened to on Youtube, and thought to myself that in this case, it would be "Shantycore", wouldn't it?

Of course then I realized that "Shantycore" rhymed with "Manticore", and the rest is history.
