2014 February 24, Drew Taylor, “From Die Hard to Non-Stop: The Beginner’s Guide to “Dadcore””, in Vanity Fair:Dadcore is more narrowly defined by being rip-snorting action movies—many of them hardcore and rated R—in which the plot is vaguely defined by a male character seeking revenge or vengeance or some kind of justice (spiritual or otherwise), usually outside the letter of the law.

2015 August 29, Robin Sherwood, “Will I start dressing ‘dadcore’ when I become a father?”, in The Guardian:But does fatherhood really mean I have to become “dadcore” – wearing clothing that is comfortable, with no real regard for fit or appearance and, according to this paper’s own style guru, Hadley Freeman, “anything from Marks & Spencer’s Blue Harbour range” – and abandon my penchant for linen blazers and cordovan slip-ons in favour of machine-washable hoodies and trainers?

2020 July 29, Taylor Antrim, “‘It’s Halfway to Lover’: Thoughts on Folklore From an 8-Year-Old”, in Vogue:The news that Folklore was coming and that it was a collaboration with Aaron Dessner of the National and that it included a duet with Bon Iver gave me a feeling that can best be summed up as: Uh-oh. A dadcore record. But Swift already had the dads. Dads are low-hanging fruit.
