What it means

The meme contrasts old-school gorp-core, shown as rugged mountaineering gear and an Everest expedition, with modern gorp-core, shown as fashionable outdoor clothing for going to Whole Foods and taking an Uber home. The joke is that outdoor adventure culture has become an urban fashion trend focused on comfort, shopping, and lifestyle aesthetics.
