This aesthetic is so strange cause it’s what I was born into, so it’s very familiar yet it’s hard to pin point where it stopped and what it turned into. I have no idea what kinda aesthetic we have now. Futuristic brutalism maybe? It all looks like Black Mirror to me now
it's called Metro and it has absolutely sucked ever since. I've lived through all of this and yeah, Frutiger Aero was the last time we had any optimism in design. It's all cold and optimized and cynical now -- absolutely miserable.
True, tho. I remember internet beef used to be more harmless back then, and social media wasn't bombarded with politics and people being constantly hostile towards each other or attacking people they don't even know personally. Tons of options of games for us kids who grew up at the time. Creative blogs and websites instead of repetitive social media filled with fake news and people making everything political. Everyone used to just want to have a good time... :(
It used to be. Then the people whose bullshit we were trying to escape from hopped on in 2007 when the iphone was made. I only remember a precious couple years of the before times, but even i can tell it's been downhill since then.
@@TastyyOnUA-cam Kind of! It depends what you associate it with. Maybe freshly cut grass, and whatever scents come from the increased moisture and heat.
We'll get there one day, the Internet is just going through its growing pains. It still has the potential to be the literal salvation of humanity, but it has to grow through this awkward adolescent phase where it's still being held back by the economic structures and restrictions placed on it by the real world. The digital world will reach its full fruition when we as human beings are not just escaping our real lives into it but living inside of it, and there we will find the resurgence of this beautiful optimism we once had. The Internet is destined to be humanity's true utopia, a place where anyone and everyone can be free and even make the real world a better place as well. Even a little playlist like this reminds me that people still believe in humanity's potential to use this incredible tool to make life beautiful, and maybe if we all believe a little more we can build the future that we once hoped for.
Living inside the internet would be as bad as this society we live in or even worse. Do you want freedom? Then fight for a free world instead of creating a fake one to escape.
It will, buddy. The visual style itself will return (of course, not exactly the same as it was in the era we praise, but look at Win11 and other newest software products). And looking at how AI, green technologies and other things are developing, I understand that the future we were promised will finally come. It was only slightly delayed in traffic❤
There is a point in a childs memory where they will look at their parents and for a momment they act like children too and at this momment the child will know they are in danger
a future that never came... except for maybe it will come because now are we actually beggining to have like ai and solar panels and electric vehicles and stuff
@@BiscuitTime420probably closer to the future that people in the 2000's expected. Y'know.. with flying cars, extremely advanced technology, and other sci-fi stuff.
I have a weird relationship with Futiger Aero, in that I accidentally skipped it. I was one of those "xp or die" boomers when Win7 came out, barely touched my Wii except to play games with friends or family, and had no attraction to the fancy tech like the billion robot dogs that came out during that time. But now that I'm in our current, minimalist hell landscape I feel an odd longing for futiger aero. A craving for something I once turned my nose up at. And oh boy do I feel like a big dummy for doing so back then.
@@metalgear6531atleast you lived through the Frutiger Aero period though! Most would say it had a greater influence on product design than the Y2K internet era had
This aesthetic reminds me of when I was 8-9 years old in 2010/2011, using the internet in school and finding free flash games online that I could play at home on my family's crappy laptop. If I remember, I used to always play one called "Octomail", or something like that, very often. I honestly miss 2010's internet so much. The internet feels pretty hostile now.
Same! I used to play this Super Mario fan made game where you had to cook for the little toad fellas. Making horrifying cakes on Moshi Monsters was good too. I also had this car game where everything was retrowave (I think - it was either blue or purple themed) and your car would just shatter if you'd failed.
i recently just discovered what this aesthetic was called and im so happy, this is exactly my childhood. thank you for this playlist and i hope it gets more discovered
Here's hoping the Frutiger Aero aesthetic makes a comeback someday. It was truly something else compared to the minimalist aesthetic that's prevalent today.
I feel like this hits home for 97-04 growing up while every year technology gets increasingly better but pre iPad kids so we still played outside and all that and electronics I guess made life better but didn’t have control of everything yet. I just picture sitting at that bulky ass desktop looking at this windows home field Home Screen wondering if there was somewhere really that perfect.
As much as i thought this style being used for everything was ridiculous.. man how much nicer looking was the world in 2006. So bleak and 'modern' now.
Frutiger aero: an aesthetic made by corporations in the early 2000s to market tech and make it present in our everyday lives tech by grounding it and Juxtaposing it with nature. It gave the idea of several things: A hopeful future, a calm world, and the idea that tech is for everyone because like the wind on tree branches, like water flowing in a river, and a bubble floating on by, it's as natural as nature itself. Such beautiful lies allowed tech to be in our lives and also reach the ideal future for tech and it's users. The future is here, because it's our present. It has served its purpose and thus is no longer needed. No need for glossy buttons, *we know* how to use *the screen,* no need for physical objects to represent the features. *We know* what *the icons* and their meaning, no need for nature, or nature based metaphors and similies, because *tech is the nature.* Congratulations we achieved utopia................. isn't this what we wanted?
What do you mean the future that couldn’t be, this is what life was like back then. Robot dogs at the mall and bubbles everywhere and uh, grass? This literally existed.
i gotta say im really digging this second wave of vaporwave. it's cool to see the new gen doing this sort of thing, but inspired by mid 00s corpo aesthetics instead of mid 90s corpo aesthetics. i hope vaporwave continues to evolve along these lines
Young me: “I bet the future is gonna be this vibrant energetic jungle of chrome and neon and we’ll be close to having flying cars and i can see a hologram of the person I’m trying to call. The future: No. You will get hoverboards, corporate art style, cryptocurrency, the meta verse and Elon Musk and you WILL like it.
When i was a child i dreamed of being a famous artist, everyone knowing my name, being loved and respected by all with the likes of van gogh and banksy. Now im 19, struggling to find a job that has available positions that wont reject me, and none of my art is selling on mercari, i the lowest i have my pieces are $10.
I’ll repost what I commented in two other videos: Unfortunately this kind of futurism is seldom seen now, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be. Don’t give up hope, make the future you want, do as much as you can to make the life you want.
Can any of you imagine going to the mall just to socialize? People stopped going to malls cuz they can just buy stuff online. But imagine going to the mall and seeing people hanging out in the food court and other areas, still shopping, of course, still spending money, but that’s not the point. The point is to hang out with your friends. The shops are just secondary. I hated the mall when I was younger but now I miss ‘em. Still some open, just not many people
In some places the malls are still VERY active. In Miami some of the malls are completely packed every weekend. Though the outdoor malls are a lot less busy cause it’s too hot out most of the year. Source - I live there lol
uhhh malls are still active? those are the places where I always take my dates to and they are frequently packed full at least from what i've seen when i pass by. I ain't american so not sure if malls are dying in america.
This aesthetic is so strange cause it’s what I was born into, so it’s very familiar yet it’s hard to pin point where it stopped and what it turned into. I have no idea what kinda aesthetic we have now. Futuristic brutalism maybe? It all looks like Black Mirror to me now
I'd say it's currently minimalism, a lot of companies are making their logos more simple than the fun logos they used to have. It sucks, really
Minimalism bussines and corporate art style, that imo sucks a lot
it's called Metro and it has absolutely sucked ever since. I've lived through all of this and yeah, Frutiger Aero was the last time we had any optimism in design. It's all cold and optimized and cynical now -- absolutely miserable.
SAME!!!!! I was so young that this vibe/feeling almost felt magical
whatever we call it and however much we hate it we're gonna be nostalgic for it a decade from now and hate whatever comes after
this style makes the internet feel like a place to escape to instead of a hell-scape lmao
it used to be that way :(
Isn't escaping what you are doing now?

if only everyone realized. hopefully, humanity will meet nature again.
It’s a future I shall bring someday.

Damn right we are. Every little scrap of progress we can get is worth celebrating.
The past is more futuristic than the present

This video is literally the best video for studying. The focus I’m feeling right now is insane fr
Such a beautiful time to be alive. What we lost was hope. Modern trends stomped it.
Felt chills from start to finish. I love this playlist!
This feels really Solarpunk.
tbh frutiger aero music could be called Ape Escape core and it'd make so much sense hah
That game was really ahead of its time
PlayStation2 core
If you want more music like that, it’s called Intelligent Jungle.
sometimes, music from japanese va and va PORNO games has frutiger aero aesthetic.
Listening to this while in IT fixing old PCs is so 😌😌😌💗
Watching this on my new Meta Quest 3 while high. Truly a future that couldn't be.
Yo, good idea
actually peak music for studying, tysm for this playlist and also introducing me to the frutiger aero aesthetic that I'm falling in love with!!
I want my life to sound like thisss
I'm so confused but I love the aesthetic so much
That fourth song is actually so heat
the future we were showed and lied to about…
has anyone mentioned wappy in the background!? this brought me a lot of joy, seeing wappy and the vibes of this playlist :)

Maybe now that we have a name for it, it can start coming back.

Frutiger aero was the best thing to ever happen to marketing; this minimalism bullshit sucked the optimism out of daily life
100%. its like there is life in nothing anymore.. everything is all bland and all the same. theres no expression in anything
I feel like Apple kinda started this minimalism trend...
@@emobunny8890 Couldn’t agree more, unfortunately. Apple has a lot to answer for in terms of modern dystopian consumerism

Welcome to the future of the past mate.
A future that already happened and we were left stuck in its beauty.
Yess, I never knew it was “the good ole days” until it passed on by silently
Here's hoping the Frutiger Aero aesthetic makes a comeback someday. It was truly something else compared to the minimalist aesthetic that's prevalent today.
It will when us zoomers nostalgic for it start consuming more and driving demand.

I find that interesting. I've always veiwed it as representing tech and nature being able to co-exist and account for each other.
Holy crap.
That is, while not technically wrong... such a... dark, and sad, twisted way to look at it.
