      This is definitely a general 2000s type of aesthetic. This kind of quad-colour theme started to become popular around late 2001. And commercials with this kind of vibe already started popping up in that year.
      Also reminds me of the Shibuya-kei art style which was already a thing in the late 90s (in Japan, at least).
      But yes, it did peak in around 2006-2010.

      @@user-wf2vz1lg5p Depends on how you're associating the many styles of design with the supposed two categories of design.
      "Y2K" isn't an aesthetic category to me, but a phenomenon where we were preparing for an apocalypse caused by a computer bug. In other words, the word had already existed as it was happening to refer to that. But for some reason, some ppl had chosen to revise the meaning in the 2010s decade into a tag word to refer to a brusque, incoherent amalgamation of designs, all of which just so happens to have been popular during that late 90s-early 2000s time period.
      But "frutiger aero" is a new retrospective concept phrase that rose to popularity in the current decade and used specifically to refer to design. The motifs associated with this category are much more coherent than what's literally used to refer to whatever was popular during an approximate time period that is the late 90s. Which also reminds me that Y2K was technically over by January 1 of 2000, so to refer to the early 2000s as the "Y2K era" is technically partially false, unless it's used introspectively to literally refer to the year 2000.

    • @j377yb33n
      @j377yb33n 9 месяцев назад +76

      well that's the thing, vaporwave started out as an almost critique of the consumerism of that time period where everything fondly remembered about that era was luxury, corporate culture or wealth which isn't what people generally had in their lives. It was the remembering of a false past imprinted by advertising. If you're going to lift the frutiger styles without examining the background of where it came from, and understanding the problems the mindset brought with it I don't think it's going to stick.

      @@j377yb33n vaporwave's "critique" has always been superficial, and that image of anti-consumerism is definitely not why it stuck culturally. people don't listen to or engage with the vaporwave movement for intellectual analysis, they do it because they love past culture filtered through a modern lens, which is what most of human culture always is at the end of the day. everything we do art-wise is rooted in something in the past whether we "ironically acknowledge it" or not; there's no need for millennial irony when it comes to the revival of frutiger aero and other elements of 2000's utopian graphic design. just love art because it's great art, there's no need for complication or dwelling on the fact that it's 'been done before'

      @y.bowcat7782 9 месяцев назад +34

      ​​@frullmusic zoomers unironically geeking out for a style of art only used in advertising when they were a kid does not make a good art movement. vaporwave was made by people mostly too young to remember any of it, and although it used the aesthetics and sounds of the 80s and early 90s it recompiled them in a unique way that made it both familiar and new.
      also "millenial irony" did play a factor in the rise of vaporwave, but the people in the scene early on were very intentional. what was and was not vaporwave was pretty obvious to people that were familiar with similar scenes (seapunk, chillwave, based edits/cloud rap etc) before it got too big to really be consumed alongside a discussion about context and too big for most people to care about the music and just look at the pretty aesthetics pictures.
      contrast that with the current state of frutiger aero which is literally just the thing as it was then regurgitated. i think it's very pretty and nostalgia is a good hook to get people interested, but until all the ingredients come together into something more cohesive it's just going to be another pinterest aesthetic.

    oh god now I know what it feels like for people who grew up in the 80s feels about vaporwave (no hate on it. I am a big fan). I grew up with this aesthetic in high school. Hated it then and I still hate it now. Although despite of that, I feel a little bit nostalgic for it as at the time social media was still in it's infancy and wasn't the hellscape that it is now. It was the era RIGHT before it just went down hill. The fact younger people getting into this style makes me feel very old. haha.

    Okay so as a almost professional graphic designer, if this is fake, I can say this is a 50% accurate. Frutiger Aero/Metro started being popular around late 2005, and it was in its peak around 2007-'12. Butttttt, this type of graphic design actually did exist in the late 90s, because it was horrible and very low in quality. It wasn’t until around 2004 although it was not that popular when it started taking its first steps. So the accurate part of this video is that it looks as if it was the beginning of Aero

      I disagree. Frutiger Aero was meant for people who lived under rocks to discover the wonders of future and the amazingly fast evolution of technology. A stepping stone. Bright lights, pretty colors, familiar shapes. Captures the attention of the audience fast. The thing is, people also got used to technology fast. By then, there was no need for the flashy and tacky designs. Goodbye skeuomorphism and flat colors. "I see a dj... a plane? Is that a train? What kind of ad is this? Oh it was an ad for cox wifi." It worked back then because people didn't know shit. Now, we have the freedom to alter technology to whatever we want. Hell, switching an OS back to its Frutiger aero style is as simple as a google search. This style was so safe for corporate. But in the wrong hands it looks like if a toddler found AE and copy pasted vomit everywhere.
      tldr: it was cool but things changed for the better.
