I also think that this "imperfection trend" is more like a generational revenge, younger generations tends to rebel to their predecessor, being more imperfect and less educated but at the same time with more resources and information access. You don't want to be as successful and perfect as your parents wants you to be, you just want to be you without the hard work your parents did. And that is reflecting in all human intelectual activities.
Funny thing is these emulated imperfections are starting to oversaturate the internet because of brands and huge personality. Sure Ryan Trahan's videos look "imperfect" compared to TV, but if we compare his videos to other RUclipsrs, he's still too perfect to me (perfectly edited videos and brain rot thumbnails) and it loses relatability. The same goes for big cooperations like McD and KFC for emulating Gen Alpha brain rot. It's not perfect, but it's also not genuine and its purpose is to advertise which is the exact opposite of what makes it human.
This same pattern occurred in art, starting with the balanced ideals of the Renaissance, followed by the dramatic excess of Baroque, and later shifting to the simplicity of Neoclassicism
None of this is new. This has been going on for 20 years. I'm the 2000s, movies and TV shows started moving towards realism and away from spectacle flash and millennials were all into analog photography and cheap pinhole cameras. This is what the original Instagram was all about.
Those were niche hobbies back than, and are still niche hobbies now.. Analog photography is pretty dead and Instagram was about fotographing food - very early on - and getting the perfect shot. If I look at the world around me, I get the exact opposite impression: Everything drives towards more plastic, more make-up, etc. pp. The urge for more authenticity is a side-effect because a relatively big minority does not care about the big mainstream move towards more fake plastic people and "content".
This time it feels different and more desperate. Some people are really getting sick of AI and the ruthless corporate optimisation of things, places and people.
lol, there's actually quite a few examples of using it effectively in design. I came across some designs on _dribbble_ that were part of a challenge to use comic sans for branding and they were great (seems it's good when used in moderation and small sizes, paired with clean design)
I noticed this trend with food apps: there's always a small drip of sauce next to the sandwich or running down the side. It's precision imperfection: just uncanny
this specks volume on how we want a genuine human interaction, and the bad video quality can somehow be nostalgic and have a unique look one of my teachers one said everything is cyclicals what is cool now will be cool once again and i see that in my life time truly a profound moment in my life it was a great video well edited and great story telling appreciate the content keep t up men .
Genius thumbnail! Love the concept behind this video-perfect is becoming easier to create, so imperfect is what makes design feel more human (definitely in the creative world at least).
how this dude made this video without mentioning his imperfect accent as a key thing that differentiates his and many other popular channels eg. Fern, Jake Tran
He is an Italian speaking English. He hasn't lost the Italian influence in his accent after years of making RUclips videos in English. That's why you don't hear him speaking with the RUclipsr English accent. Check out his first video. It's in Italian.
1:00 you are somewhat wrong there. We actually had mechanical computers of all sorts during the 20th century that could do all four basic operators easily and some that could do more complex ones. Take a look at the torpedo data computer of a sub or the firing computer of a destroyer for some big examples. Or an old cash register for a consumer level example The job of a computer is more of a 19th century thing.

This is an interesting video. Watching your crisp, nicely lit, nicely photographed footage switch to some 90's VHS-like quality and back again while you're trying to convince me that I should appreciate the imperfection of that look makes my brain rebel. The modern video is just so much more pleasing to watch. Maybe imperfections should be used like spice on food-in small amounts. Overusing them (or if you can’t do better and the whole video ends up looking rough) can ruin the whole experience. I think first, you need to master perfection before using imperfection as an artistic choice. (And what's ironic: I used some language imperfection in my previous version of this comment and apparently it got shadow banned by RUclips, now used ChatGPT to "perfectionize" it so it's more strerile but hopefully it will display here... THIS is a bad thing for sure)

Exactly. Also, I think you don't need to write incorrect texts just so people will think you haven't used a LLM, but you can just write it on your own. LLMs have a common style that is very hard to influence.
There is a very dark side to this that you briefly mentioned. If perfection is simple, why are there so many unintentionally imperfect results? Laziness and sloppiness using technology has resulted in more crap, not higher quality, a lot of the time. Software QA is often non-existant and companies ship crap that isn't even alpha quality knowing they can fix it later and customers don't really care - except if you are a Sonos user 😉. Imperfection as a style for pseudo-realism is a fad, not a trend. This too will pass. Truly imperfect works of art (film, music, painting) takes more effort, not less, then the quick output 'perfect' content.
I think what scares me is there should be a fundamental limit to imperfection as there is a fundamental limit to perfection, and we're honestly going way beyond it. It is one thing for new generations to value expression; it's another when they outright balk at understanding things like nuance or even just the idea of having a minimum standard at all. I remember a few years ago arguing with a GenZ college student who claimed that typing in a grammatically correct way (like I'm doing right now) is "inefficient." They argued that because humans have all developed the equivalent of "typoglycemia" that throwing out the rulebook on the English language should be the new way. And I can't ever agree with that. But I see it everywhere now, not just in written word but even media itself. Entire plots being dumbed down for the sake of these new audiences. It's like how Max0r describes one of the subplots of Genshin: "The dragon, he was mean, and then, he was nice." Anyone with a reading comprehension above the 8th grade (which, I should point out, is the minimum literacy standard used worldwide) is going to demand more from their storytelling, but these new generations... don't. I'm not at all prepared for what's to come.
Agreed. Being imperfect doesn't mean you take it to the point of things turning crude. You can be clean without being squeaky clean. You can be disorderly without being unorganised. There is a limit to which you should take things.
Second comment : personally while I like imperfection as art . I'm also a OCD / Perfectionist. I also analyse and overthink a lot. I'm the kind of person who cleans their phone everytimes there is noticeable finger smudge or if My pen , phone or any item in desk is not 90 degree I put it symetric. Small details matter to me . Yes , I'm the kind of person to judge people by their reaction and emoji. What you send emotes , I can overthink if you are meaning something or double mean. Sometimes even people being nice I can come to conclusion if I accidentally annoyed them or if they're just being nice because they don't want to point out something bad.
Whenever I see imperfections I feel a connection to the person that made the art. It lets me know that I'm seeing something that a person made, with their hands. I value that a lot.
I can totally see that. this was kinda already a bit the case for community management when some people said make mistakes so you look more like your audience. The issue I see here is that LLM's can easily fake this. So I'm not sure if this is an indicator of a real human. Intereseting to see where this shifts to.
Adding a moderate amount of imperfections can make something look and feel more organic, more natural. However, adding too many imperfections on purpose can lead to dissonance, a lack of accessibility for the viewer, and discomfort, as well as confusion.
I always wondered a few years ago when professional agencies would use photos for ads that looked like mine when I took them on a disposable camera in the 90s. Dull colours, overly brightened - is there a name for this trend in photography? Also it should be considered that we're presented with models that wouldn't have been considered beautiful just 10 years ago with horrible haircuts, disabilities or just odd faces.
I see now, so ubisoft with their last 'AAAA' games just were ahead of their time and the trend when they started asking more money for more 'imperfections' in their games
A lot of the "imperfection" is really "authenticity". We want to know the presenter/influencer/protagonist/etc is authentic and imperfections here and there are signs of them being real.
Apple Intelligence is about to actually toss that professors joy of imperfections out the window. It can fix all the errors in a document YOU WROTE. Without changing anything. So a perfect document can also be a human written document. It's basically like have a professional editor in your mac.
this makes me understand why i watched breaking bad for the first time in 2024 and loved it sm! it broke the stereotype of what a drug mafia looks like, walter white was soo imperfect in so many ways and that made for an amazing story! ty sm for sharing this in such a beautiful way 😭 haven't watched an educational and entertaining youtube video that left me with something to think about and take action on 🤍
Go to Davao, Philippines. You'll see the posters, trailers, videos, vlogs of "imperfection" in the top spot. This was not like this before but yeah, it's a fad or style that will eventually pass.
If this was the same topic, but for video games, I think the video would be instantly demonitized because the best example of *bad* and *imperfect* would be Cruelty Squad
This is uncannily similar to how the Romantic poets rebelled against the rationality of the Enlightenment. They valued sincerity and personal expression, and they emphasized lived emotion, eschewing what they saw as the sterile, impersonal orderliness of the past. They thought a lot about nature vs artificiality, favoring the former. But didn't we already have this movement 10 years ago with the rise of social media influencers and being "authentic"? Yes, and that's the thing: 10 years from now, a new generation will see this aesthetic and consider it passé and artificial-in part because it WILL become artificial as people try to keep up with the aesthetic standards of "imperfect." People will notice that some creator's thumbnails aren't imperfect enough-"natural" imperfections will because the new high standard, and we'll be right back in the same state that these current young people are rebelling against. I don't see anything wrong with this. We shouldn't be cynical about it. It's just what new generations do. As they hit their late teens and early twenties, think of their parents' generation as a monolithic entity, a continent they want to leave. And then they grow older, and their own aesthetics and values slow down and harden into what their children see as a monolithic entity they feel compelled to rebel against in order to strike out on their own and find their own innovation, novelty, creation. Both individuals and generations are driven to discover what they care about-well, (cynical alert) some in the generation are, and others just follow the fashion that is codified in their wake. There will most assuredly be a rebellious return back to orderliness, cleanliness, and classicism. It'll become cool to wear a suit to work, to use grids in graphic design, and so on. Until then, in contrast with the orderly computers of the past and present that required accuracy, LLMs are making it possible to interact with the messily. You don't need to spell correctly or use proper punctuation and grammar. I see that as a good thing: the promise of HCI (human-computer interaction), which is the change the computer to understand the machine rather than require humans to understand computer language, is getting closer to reality. But that has to do with HCI standards, not aesthetic trends.
Adding imperfections to make something relatable and humane is nice. Thats how vfx artist improve their craft, add imperfections to models/environment to resemble the real life However adding imperfections just the sake of resisting or differing yourself from an older trend is not the way to go You have to embrace the imperfections but create something perfect that conveys an idea in the end. Like Kintsugis, the Japanese vase where they asamble the broken pieces with gold. That takes an imperfect form embrace it and make it a more pleasing product in the end which can be considered as perfect
Yeh we're kippered now: the next version of grammarly will come with a "add human-like grammatical errors that do not subvert the meaning" feature, and we'll be chasing authenticity and humanity down an exponentially narrowing rabbit hole.
those corps cringy marketing things are just run by the youth for the youth, communicating in their language. it's totally not a matter of whether it's perfect or imperfect
It would seem we value what is hard to accomplish. Perfect used to be hard, not that it's easy; imperfections are the new perfect. Or something like that. 😄
Tne only reason janky media works is because the highly produced stuff was created and set the standard. Its a sort of ironic counter culture. It will run its course. I will agree though that video production has become so good it almost make me feel uneasy or sick. But the same goes with "bad" stuff.
Don't think it's bad. While some would say this is just another boring thing like minimalism , imperfection is actually more hard in art. you can draw a perfectly made bedsheet , but when you draw a imperfect bedsheet it's more hard Your daily room mess is more hard to replicate in art , that real life's imperfection can be a perfection for art. That I like.. Sure there are imperfect art for different reason , that I know too and cool too But I love that. I once tried to draw a simple and minimal room vs messy. And messy one I didn't completed and my head ached . It's so hard when you mess up a simple thing and it don't look like real one. With imperfect and cluttery room , when you draw it , lots of shadows and if you draw it in noon or what kind of lighting , the shading aside , you first need to worry about if you accidentally perfectly allign the art because of OCD or just because of used to.

I think you’ve got it backwards. The products of technology are riddled with errors, but tech makes things faster, so we have to endure it. It’s human hands and eyes that make things perfect.
I am sorry but I am against this absurd toxic positivity. No one should reward grammatical error or absolve them of elementary skills. Especially, for a language where once you know the spelling rules, you can write any words you hear. 3:28 What the actual F?
some carpet maker or loom operators in the east made sure that there are some imperfections in their works.its a religeous thing i remember, only god is supposed to be perfect
Perfection and minimalism are sterile. Lifeless. Flavorless. Inhuman. Oppressive. Depressing. Big tech wants you to be minimalist - to get rid of everything but your phone, because they want your phone to do it all for you. Never has that been more clear than when viewing Apple's disgusting 'crush' ipad commercial. An ad for a product marketed at creative people, yet showing plainly the destruction of their most beloved mediums.
Material You is a poorly made design just to look imperfect. It sacrifices function, density, cleanliness and logic. It's harder to look at because instead of being white and clean, everything is now pastel.
Commodification of human boredom and loss of direction and purpose. That's what I gather from this video. After the A.I. bubble bursts the capitalists must find the new grift.

...Brave New World! 🤦♂️
Hope it's not going to come to usability. GUIs are already incredibly unusable. No need for even more imperfection there.
Yeh we're kippered now: the next version of grammarly will come with a "add human-like grammatical errors that do not subvert the meaning" feature, and we'll be chasing authenticity and humanity down an exponentially narrowing rabbit hole.
(1:37) RIP Creola Katherine Johnson
those corps cringy marketing things are just run by the youth for the youth, communicating in their language. it's totally not a matter of whether it's perfect or imperfect
9:00 gave me bad flashbacks of
Circle Back Psaki😂
Otto Climan mio padre! ahhaha
You're a king bro. U got a really nice accent and your videos are so much interesting!!
AI can also do imperfect grainy photos now, the attention race never ends
NASA perfectly convinced people that space exists.
cool stuff man
Good to hear I’m cool now
It would seem we value what is hard to accomplish. Perfect used to be hard, not that it's easy; imperfections are the new perfect. Or something like that. 😄
I'm cool,
Why are so few of us cool ? Am I one of the few to actually read the description ?
Why wouldn't you just add grain instead of buying an old camera
Tne only reason janky media works is because the highly produced stuff was created and set the standard. Its a sort of ironic counter culture. It will run its course.
I will agree though that video production has become so good it almost make me feel uneasy or sick. But the same goes with "bad" stuff.
Now, I guess I'll start to purposefully add double spaces and minor, but obvious punctuation errors into my texts. :)
Don't think it's bad. While some would say this is just another boring thing like minimalism ,
imperfection is actually more hard in art.
you can draw a perfectly made bedsheet , but when you draw a imperfect bedsheet it's more hard
Your daily room mess is more hard to replicate in art , that real life's imperfection can be a perfection for art.
That I like.. Sure there are imperfect art for different reason , that I know too and cool too
But I love that. I once tried to draw a simple and minimal room vs messy. And messy one I didn't completed and my head ached . It's so hard when you mess up a simple thing and it don't look like real one. With imperfect and cluttery room , when you draw it , lots of shadows and if you draw it in noon or what kind of lighting , the shading aside , you first need to worry about if you accidentally perfectly allign the art because of OCD or just because of used to.
Now I know how to use GPT at university, thanks 🥰😹
dear sir, this is a perfect video 🙃
The perfect irony: you support inperfectism with perfect arguments and video. That is perfect 🧐
It's marketing, they want your money, and now they have to hawk their wares to the latest generation of infantilised idiots.
As a 40 something old musician I'm still coming to terms with "lo-fi" music 😁
So you record your music and then you intentionally add noise, distortion and a bad EQ?? 😂
Howz it going Mr. T?
Designed mediocrity. Seems the baroque equivalent of fake. Is fake mediocrity just a more expensive form of it? Interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing.
Why would you buy a 1500 camera to make a picture imperfect when Photoshop and 50 other free softwares will do that for you?
But I like making my emails sound professional and properly written.
I think you’ve got it backwards. The products of technology are riddled with errors, but tech makes things faster, so we have to endure it. It’s human hands and eyes that make things perfect.
I am sorry but I am against this absurd toxic positivity. No one should reward grammatical error or absolve them of elementary skills. Especially, for a language where once you know the spelling rules, you can write any words you hear. 3:28 What the actual F?
My wabi-sabi ideals are the norm now??
Bad video, but I like it.
I loved this video
some carpet maker or loom operators in the east made sure that there are some imperfections in their works.its a religeous thing i remember, only god is supposed to be perfect
So the secret is to cringe someone to the point of squeezing out their life energy. Now we all know the secrets of the Cringin' Chin.
Perfection and minimalism are sterile. Lifeless. Flavorless. Inhuman. Oppressive. Depressing.
Big tech wants you to be minimalist - to get rid of everything but your phone, because they want your phone to do it all for you.
Never has that been more clear than when viewing Apple's disgusting 'crush' ipad commercial.
An ad for a product marketed at creative people, yet showing plainly the destruction of their most beloved mediums.
Now with more electrolytes.
@ottocliman spotted 6:48 🙃
Material You is a poorly made design just to look imperfect. It sacrifices function, density, cleanliness and logic. It's harder to look at because instead of being white and clean, everything is now pastel.
Commodification of human boredom and loss of direction and purpose. That's what I gather from this video. After the A.I. bubble bursts the capitalists must find the new grift.
