Frutiger Aero feels like the pinnacle of a UI having a soul. Before then, it was just practical and while I do appreciate them a lot too, I don't think there is much that can beat Frutiger Aero when it comes to giving such a vibrant feeling
The reason why images shake a lot is because Lessons in Internet Culture is simulating the exact counter frequencies to have those watching this video in an earthquake watch it perfectly fine
I remember distinctly back in middle school, around 2014, when iOS 7 got introduced and released into the public. It felt like the style from frutiger aero to minimalist style literally changed overnight with popular apps at the time completely overhauling their aesthetic.
It's really not. "In the world I see - you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway." That. That's what I wanted. Not corporate motivational posters with bubbles...

Windows Vista's Aero aesthetic is still top tier. I preferred mine with that one black city background and the white aero taskbar theme. Loved it so much, shame it got replaced with FLAT MATTE SQUARES
Imagine that in 20-30 years down the line people will be nostalgic over crappy AI generated “art” aesthetic. Since Y2k and frutiger styles are defined by inexperienced people playing with 3d softwares and thinking to themselves “whoah, I made a cool glossy balls in funky perspective in just under the minute!”
Frutiger Aero reminds me alot of the private school i attended 17 years ago up until middleschool, it had this bubbly simple color, and our school's theme was all about the environment, our computer lab had windows xp on all computers and the default wallpaper the school had was the school logo in a very frutiger aero aesthetic, a white city in the middle of the plains with flying sea turtles
It goes hand in hand with the design of sci-fi worlds from that time too, all the 3D concept visuals for near future technology, much of which we’re still waiting on
We were raised to expect transcendence and we're getting extinction instead. And the liars will huddle in their bunkers and be the last to die. What a timeline.
The futrure we were promised but never got back in 2007....goddamn i miss this aesthetic so much. Seeing how the future has genuinely made me lose hope for humanity being fun and colorful and actually focusing on both the future of humanity AND the planet. Now we have/had TikTok and spotify with concrete jungle and colorless, lifeless EVERYTHING. Tis truly was a future that was ripped away for "corporate things" i SINCERELY hope that this has an effect big enough that it legitimately makes people reconsider the past and how it would function and look. Uhhh anyway miku is in fortnite huh? Wild
Personally, I thought that the great recession played a huge role in the aesthetic's disfavor. At least in North America. Like the glossy future we had is gone and all we are left with is a ton of plastic. By the end of the recession, American pop culture rapidly changed, and so did our aesthetic. I am glad it resurged in popularity!
Aesthetics are distilled wonders, and wonders spread through enthusiasm and people's tendency to relate. It's trivial to have nostalgia for any period in the past given a concept that is presented well.
oh thank you for talking so much about this! BTW if you're into this design there's a Linux theme called AeroThemePlasma, so you can get these designs on a modern system!
i bought a toy camera recently that is very frutiger aero. it can play music so i put pop ‘n’ schlock from splatoon 3 on it since it is an inexplicably nostalgic song.
aero does tend to get conflated with both y2k and CADcore (see Windows XP and WipEout respectively). Right now we are seeing a cadcore resurgence (according to the 20 year cycle, similar aesthetics were popular in the 80s and the 2000s) and I suspect it will become the defining aesthetic of this decade.
I’m not sure I ever expected LiMC to make a video on this! I love Frutiger Aero for the graphic and hardware design, and some of the art (I like the idea of having it have nature and such), but I don’t like the exaggeration part of it. Windows 7 is a good example of the art style of aero that I like. I also really like Skeuomorphism just as much.
I really hope frutiger aero doesn't become really mainstream, because I want a frutiger aero mouse for school (we have esports and all my other stuff is black or rgb(with black))
I'm on the younger end of millenials, so both vaporwave and frutiger aero kinda feel nostalgic for me. Kinda sad for gen alpha, their nostalgia aesthetic is gonna be kinda boring.
Minimalism web designs nowadays looks clean but also looks too effortless if there's only text on it We need some choices of textures and gradations ones😔
Yeah as a little kid I loved the orange and Fred now I see them as annoying and cringe I imagine the kids that grow up watching skibbie toilet will feel the same at least I hope@@garhd
Frutiger Aero is like the feeling of drinking cold water after tasting a minty toothpaste in an aesthetic form.
Fr
Mmmmmfhg
🥶
ew
Love that chilling freshness.😊
Frutiger aero feels like drinking icy water out of a plastic cup whilst also slightly biting the cup.
My OCD-ass brain just got tickled real nicely by this description, gawddayum...
Holy shit how tf is that so freaking accurate
this comment unlocked so many memories
YESSSSS this comment

Frutiger Aero was not Low quality, quite the opposite in fact. I'm very glad that the aesthetic never Tapered off and Faded away.
*muhehehe* >:3
LOW TAPER FA
Title of the video: Frutiger Aero is still *Massive*
You know what else is MASSIVE?@@azure00009
IMAGINE IF NINJA GOT A LOW TAPER FADEEE
@@azure00009it’s almost as massive as the low taper fade meme
back when people were hopeful about the future and technology
So true
So hopeful that even many companies jumping on it at the time with the aesthetic and promises.
AI: *exists*
highly effective titlebait
The Frutiger Aero Situatuion is insane

Frutiger Aero feels so nostalgic, its the future we all wanted

frutiger aero looks natural to our eyes because most of nature are colorful and rarely gray except volcanoes or others

Frutiger Aero NEEDS to be brought back
Nah its ugly
I wouldn't mind that
@BallScratcher3L opinion + Windows Vista is fire
@BallScratcher3 TERRIBLE opinion
@ its overrated
It’s like the star wars prequels: when they came out a lot of people hated them… but comparatively to what we have now…

Frutiger aero is the best nostalgic feeling imo
All hail frutiger aero.
These overly saturated visuals were so ironically funny to me, I was searching for the origins for more than 6 years...

Just keep in mind that Frutiger Aero is just feels like a heaven and future of city.
That era was an absolute outstanding!

This was so nostalgic I can practically smell that new CD rom smell
oh thank you for talking so much about this! BTW if you're into this design there's a Linux theme called AeroThemePlasma, so you can get these designs on a modern system!
Frutiger aero is 90s-2000s maximalism, a stark difference to the common ubiquitous and corporate minimalism in the modern day.
We need to bring frutiger aero back 😔
Uploading this alongside a video about the California fire is WILD!!
Man trying to put it out
i bought a toy camera recently that is very frutiger aero. it can play music so i put pop ‘n’ schlock from splatoon 3 on it since it is an inexplicably nostalgic song.
Next we will have people craving flat minimalist everything 20 years from now
I was really hoping that this would be the future, but we might just wait and see what's out there.
Ww3 that's what's out there....
Nothing like the sweet startup sound of windows XP, followed by a wallpaper of the beautiful rolling hills
I'm glad Frutiger Aero is still alive, gives some hope in todays world 🌎
>Be someone
>say massive
>ninja walks in
3:49 Wave Racer on the Gamecube!!! That was purely Frutiger Aero!!!

it’s wild to think about gen alpha being nostalgic for the flat, corporate, vector aesthetic when they reach their 20s 😭😭
Nah we ain't living that long 💀 UK is spending billions to make the Torment Nexus
Hope it makes an actual comeback in the future
Our scheduled bi-yearly Lessons In Meme Culture video is now here for our viewing and educational pleasure ❤

i actually made a Frutiger Aero-esque song today. kinda crazy coincidence
Sound mixing went a bit lopsided in this one lol
still loved the video!
It's pretty surreal to see my sister's favourite Mario Kart stage being memed for years already.
Two videos from LIMC in one go is exactly what I needed this morning
3:15 Some things never change.
sometimes things do change.
Ooo new Frutiger aero vid
god i want fruitiger aero back
I love Frutiger Aero with all my heart.
Some might call It corporate slop, but you can't pretend like It's worse than what we have right now.
I'm born in 2011 but this thing it's feel so nostalgic for me
Love all these 2000s aesthetics
8:26 no skibidi toilet ain't gonna be cool.
In other words, Frutiger is the most beautiful aesthetic family i've ever seen on the fandom page.
I really hope frutiger aero doesn't become really mainstream, because I want a frutiger aero mouse for school (we have esports and all my other stuff is black or rgb(with black))
2010s were peak

Referring to us as "the aging Generation Z" is like hearing someone refer to you by your full and proper name 😂
The background music is a touch loud, it drowns you out a bit
"Early 2020's"? I think we are in mid-2020's now, no?
The future is now, fellow teens.
Frutiger Aero is Still WHAT???
And you know what else is massive
I thought it was a cult
Yum. Clean water
The idea of skibidi toilet being looked back on fondly is somewhat frightening
Nah people are going to think about it how they think about the Annoying Orange nowadays
Yeah as a little kid I loved the orange and Fred now I see them as annoying and cringe I imagine the kids that grow up watching skibbie toilet will feel the same at least I hope@@garhd
We're in the mid 20s tho
what about dreamcore?

Did you say MASSIVE?
You know what else is massive?
Did someone say crazy? All over again vro
ALL OF YOUR AERO ARE BELONG TO US
