4:53 Late-Age Y2K (Technotopia) & Early and Mid-age Frutiger Aero, are my personal favorites. I think more internet browsers, like Brave, should implement it.
Lol we come so far to put it in the past now ya'll want browsers to look like ass again
browsers now look like ass
they're all just flat blobs of gray
Oh gosh I didn’t realism at all this wasn’t produced by a popular commentary channel or something, fr great video, it was high quality and compact
surprised this doesn't have more views
Good video. I always thought the Memphis design was some kind of offshoot of postmodernism design. I didn’t know it had a name.
Incredible quality for such a new channel!! Keep up the good work!!
So good for first Videos! Keep it up.
Great video man the quality is something I would expect from a 100ksub channel
Your editing is so good! Nice job!
killer video! the quality of the content is excellent, would suggest slowing the pace down a bit and giving the visuals more time to breathe. great work
that was a short and sweet video, very cool editing effects, definitely deserves more attention!
just watched this and 2 videos from your channel, the research and format on how you take this is immensely appreciated. Subscribed.
"the lick" spotted at 5:01 on the left channel
i love this video thank you for making it
Quality stuff❤❤❤
Dope video.
Excellent video, I really enjoyed it, especially all the example images you presented for each style. Made me feel very nostalgic. Keep it up!
Graphic designer here!
I’ll say it here and foremost: I never liked and still don’t like the flat design era of said time in the video. There was nothing to really be had there other than just mixing around shapes and sizing them around to make them more appealing to the masses. What I liked about other design eras, whether old by centuries ago, or by recent memory, these said design eras were a lot better since they actually popped in your face, and showed character, whether it being flat, 2D, or round and 3D. It could have been fashionable, or it could have looked tacky, what I liked was something that showed character, not something that was just bland and boring. That’s what I don’t like about Memphis, and that could 100% be me on this, but I just didn’t like it. Its interesting because, if you showed me design and architecture that’s very brutalist, I may or may not say the same thing as I would about Memphis, but even Brutalism has it’s times of it showing to the masses that it could look decent from time to time. Memphis.. I just don’t see that, I rarely saw that in my lifetime, and I would have 100% preferred if we had just a full decade of nothing but Skeuomorphism and Frutiger Aero, rather than just a couple of years of Memphis. That could just be the designer talking, but preferentially, I would 100% die on that hill, even if it got boring past 2018.
This needs more views

Commendable bro.
what about vaporwave
In my personal opinion, I feel like vaporwave isn't a defining aesthetic of a generation, but rather an online sub-aesthetic, that, in itself was a reaction to an aesthetic of the 80's. Retro mania was/still is a very prominent influence in the zeitgeist. Older people who lived through the 80's will talk about how good the 80's were in comparison to now. The younger generations, late millenials and gen z, didn't get to experience this, and instead created their own genre of music emulating the aesthetic of the 80's with vaporwave. Most vaporwave songs will just be samples of 80's songs. On some occasions, it will be original compositions, but filtered to give off an older, retro synth/sound. There isn't really a worldwide cultural influence from vaporwave that we could put our finger on. Outside of vaporwave music, the visual style of vaporwave seems to be influenced solely from the defining characteristics of the 80's/memphis/Y2K. It can't really count as a nostalgic aesthetic because a: it wasn't an aesthetic of our time if it's replicating the 80's (it also doesn't exist in a vaccuum, vaporwave wouldn't exist if the 80's and respective retro-mania aesthetics didn't) b: Didn't influence society and corporate design at a wide scale, rather is an internet music "scene" and c: the aesthetic itself is supposed to be nostalgic for something else in the first place. I guess a good comparison would be saying a new aesthetic that is the revival of frutiger aero but with music, "aerowave" or something along those lines, is in and of itself a nostalgic aesthetic.
