Yeah the aesthetic has never left my mind. Clean chrome, bubbly glass, plants everywhere and perfect blue water that looks refreshing. That's how I still want society to look....
@dr.coomer9750 my parents are in their 50s/60s, I grew up with a lot of older things. People say I'm an old soul when on reality it was just what I was exposed to🤷
I was born in 2007, and I thought maybe I was too late to see any of these designs. However, I thought back on it and I did see a lot of fruit get aero, such as Hex bugs and those SoftSoap bottles with the fish on them. I love looking at these pictures because they transport me to a world where I actually can feel calm, if just for a moment.
I was also born in 2007 and I got to see a fair amount of that shit, looking back at it, I felt it was so awesome, even during its prime. It’s like drinking cold water at the beach.
Also born in 2007, I feel like I saw a lot of frutiger aero stuff around when I was 5-6 like those soap bottles you talked about, also my big brothers room reminds me a lot of frutiger aero because of his old computer and the windows xp hill background, and his ipod with the bubbly looking apps. The songs that people would describe as frutiger aero also have that low quality sound to it that makes it sound like music from girls go games which brought me back to so many memories lol.
I'm glad everyone else is finally appreciating this. I was 8 when iOS 7 came out and introduced this horrific flat design to the world, and not only did I refuse to update my iPad beyond iOS 6 for like a year because of it, but I was very frustrated by the fact everyone else in my life, adults or others my age alike, would ask me what the difference even was when I'd mention it or just didn't mind it. I have a very specific memory of being in the local supermarket with my mum around that time and seeing a 'Go Ahead'-brand cereal bar with a new flat design on its packaging and thinking 'I swear everyone else had better not copy iOS 7 like this'. But what has always annoyed me the most is the fact that, until recently, everyone acted like nothing had even changed and continued to just accept whatever the tech companies do to their OSes as how it is now. I'm glad we at least have glassmorphism and such now.
The only way Microsoft will convince me to upgrade to Windows 12 is if they make the Windows 12 UI Frutiger Aero All jokes aside, I LOVE frutiger aero. Everytime I look at a fruitiger aero image I just feel so relaxed and happy, it comforts me so much.
I was born in 1999 and I can say that this was indeed a great era we had lived in. The internet revolution, windows xp and it's new design followed by vista and later win 7 aero glass. This style was not only pretty modern and showed the harmony we had at that time it also showed us how we would imagine how the future would look like. Unfortunatelly after win 7 Microsoft and the other companies, basically in the time where smartphones and tablets rising up, they would then replace the aestetic with flat simple colors which barely has details in it. Tho that the design of win11 is better than win10 the aero glass is no more like it was and also you can't change the themes so simple than in the past. However I still look forward to the return of this aestetic.
It's insane to think the early 30 somethings today definetly remeber a time before widespread internet access. I even remember looking through books and using a typewriter for my first few years in gradeschool. We should document how it changed us, it's such a huge thibg that we got to live through.
Not sure why, but this video made me think about the fact that my grandparents have these cups with built-in straws loop around the entire cup and I think they’re cool
It’s weird. I was born just as this style started dying. But I still have so much nostalgia because I never had the newest technology until I was around 10. I had a box TV and the only phone I had was my mom’s IPhone 3G.
I'll be 31 this year. My young childhood was in the 90's and Y2K, and my older childhood through high school was in the 00's. My nostalgia has shifted from the 90's to the 00's for sure. It's definitely a 20 year cycle. Missing these times just as much. If you need ideas for Y2K aesthetic, I'll be glad to help! Love the backrooms content too on your main channel!
That dinosaur toy at 19:44 unlocked a deep hidden memory from my childhood I forgot I had. I remember being at my grandparents’ house and playing with that exact toy. This was around 2007-ish. I loved that thing but I’ve never seen it anywhere else ever since
Frutiger aero is such a weird aesthetic to me. Everytime I see a frutiger aero picture, I almost get emotional because of nostalgia as if ive been to these empty, bright fields that these stock photos were taken place in. I was rlly young when frutiger aero died out so I never even got to experience this aesthetic during that time.
I was born in 2003, so I grew up during this aesthetic. Movies like Meet the Robinsons perfectly display frutiger aero in its prime. Our family had G3 and G4 iMacs, and I remember being in love with the glossy “aqua” UI design of the early versions of Mac OS X. My first phone was an iPhone 3G, running iOS 4. I loved the “aqua” and skeuomorphic design language of this era, especially in Apple and Nintendo products like the 3DS and Wii. In my early adolescence, I watched the primary design aesthetic shift from frutiger aero to the modern flat design of today. I wasn’t ready for this shift though. In early high school, I even learned how to jailbreak my iPhone 6 so I could make the UI look like the pre-iOS 7 era 😂 So glad to see the revival and appreciation for this style. I’m too young to fully appreciate things like vaporwave, because that’s more catered to millennial’s nostalgia. But I was born in the perfect time to experience frutiger aero
I think that frutiger aero was implemented in car industry that time too. I can feel this aesthetics in cars like Smart, first Toyota Aygo or PT Crusier. Mostly in silver colour and chrome parts.
When i was little i thought this was gonna be the future when i saw those pictures on the school computers and old phones. I'm sure we all thought of that
Hello! You're taking some historical shortcuts here and there. Showcasing images of windows 7 title bar while talking about XP, talking about the bright Iphone wallpapers while for the 1/2 first years if their existence, IOS did NOT support wallpaper in the app menu (unless you jailbroke it. ;) ) And the Frutiger Aero interface of the XBOX 360 that you're showing came much later, around 2008. Though I agree with your overall statement! Feels like the change of tech visuals reflects our own growing up. X)
I enjoyed this video and watching it made me happy. I’m going to use this frutiger aero aesthetic in my custom backrooms level, happy ending b/c it fits the level theme I’m going for.
i was born right before the prime and I still remember all of this stuff. I was really late to a lot of stuff like i got a ps3 in like 2017 . I still remember around that time I found a Iphone 4 in a pile of trash on the side of the road, and having no internet playing space cadet and goofing around on ms paint. I wish i would have been more grateful.
At the time I felt nostalgic for the older windows 98 type aesthetic that I never really directly knew but I could feel the echoes of. The whole clean and bright aesthetic was kinda obnoxious compared to the retro 80s and 90s aesthetics. But now I look back on that time and see the appeal in a way that at the time just felt overly corporate and modern.
3:27 my first iPad was like that Big charging area, old UA-cam Couldn’t download anything so I used the web one, I used to watch hello kitty and nyan cat all the time on repeat It also had a hello kitty case, I was like 4…
I with there was a frutiger Aero backrooms level. It would be amazing

Frutigeer is nostalgic, but I do love minimalism, I think most things look good that way. (The exception being the Instagram logo, I literally don't know anybody who prefers the new Instagram logo."
The style and vibe of frutiger aero really catered to my child self growing up in the 2000s. The creativity from it is unmatched compared to the simplistic styles now
Maybe most of you guys here are from America but even I remember this era, if it wasn’t for influential things happening and world wide sharing we wouldn’t have anything like this here, meaning consoles, computers and etc. I felt tears on the edges of my eyes watching this video. Love you all! (Speaking from Eastern Europe)
We're supposed to be living in space by now. Where are the flying cars or my robot maid? The Jetsons completely lied to me! It's almost like science fiction isn't anything like reality at all!
6:50 hey Romanian here, most schools still use old computers from this era running these old windows version in computer class, my teacher refuses to change the old computers we have because "they still work", ive learned to draw very very well in old paint versions because of it (also at home i use vrm's of old versions of windows, play old games from my childhood i have on cds, and even bought an mp3 player to re-experience the feel of the aesthetic once more)
My future lore: By the late 2020s, people criticised the flat designs more, which is the leading cause of the slow decline of the Flat Design, but in 2030, Microsoft would release the Windows 15 operating system, containing a very skeuomorphic design language that immediately phased flat design out following the slow decline from the 2020s. Therefore, in 2030s, Frutiger Aero was very mainstream again, and some people call the Flat Design era as the "dull ages".
Thinking people who are 14 right now are feeling the same as your closing statement is for sure overthinking it lol. Idk about you, but I was in 8th grade at 14 ykwim 😅 But I totally agree for people who have moved far enough from childhood to be able to have those reflections. Regardless, 14 year olds are still capable of nostalgia even for 80's aesthetics because at its root, it's only nostalgia lol
There's a few errors in this video. XP wasn't Aero at all. The Xbox 360 came out in 2005 it was not Aero at the beginning either. In fact the main reason this aesthetic is named Aero is because of Vista.
I used to awesome be missing like these two kids also in the forest like an old days I was also like even three years old and I was awesome found but the ending was different unlike this 2 kids i was prity young and some time i dont remeber this story because I was too young and now adult I actually knew what the story actually was but yea very interestine story of two kids went missing in the forest
I feel that this died out in more of 2015. For example, the mobile port of sonic 4 episodes 1&2. This is EXTREMELY this aesthetic. And the reason it looks like this is because of "if it's not 3D then it's not cool/modern"
792 liked and im glad that this aesthethic is coming back :D i remember this growing up espically with the wii and windows 7 aswell oddly enough we still own our vista 😄 great programs but just remember everything corporations touches, turn to sh*t!
I don't know if it's my language barrier, but "..frutiger aero beginnings back to 2001 when Vista??? were becoming more popular.."; bro, wdym Windows Vista in 2001? 😂 "..the next year in 2005 Windows XP was released to the public.." .. Windows XP is 2001... and unlike Vista, it didn't have Aero, man. But I think Royale theme for XP has Frutiger Aero aesthetic pretty much. And this (4:25) on the left is clearly not Y2K
I don't think anyone actually likes the flat designs they were just kinda forced onto us. we could've stuck with fruitiger aero and nobody would've complained, and the people who do don't deserve to speak.
Accidentally uploaded this to my
Main channel yesterday y’all, sorry 😭😭😭
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL
Lmao no worries mate
I don't think anyone was complaining
Watched it on both~
@@OsiriaOcularis😅🤓❣️♋️
Frutiger aero wasn't a lie, it was an ideal, and we are now the ones who need to thrive toward it.
Yeah the aesthetic has never left my mind.
Clean chrome, bubbly glass, plants everywhere and perfect blue water that looks refreshing.
That's how I still want society to look....
Lol.
The Future We Were Promised one of the greatest quotes i ever heard
I’m frutiger aeroing rn
@@theawesometeg219 Valid
Stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.
Nobody thought the future was going to look like a Frutiger aero except little babies
words can't describe how much I love this aesthetic
Im 16 and still have things like my PSP, 3DS, PS2, PS3, and others. This video made me think about my childhood a lot.
I’m surprised you had a lot of those things being so young. I grew up in the PS2/Xbox era and I’m 27 lol

You switched Windows XP with Windows Vista. XP came out in 2001, and Vista came out in 2006
Yeah I realized that after I uploaded it, rip 😭
@Broogli It's okay. I'm glad you're able to admit to your frutiger errors lol
I loved the video though

20:56 i just like it because it looks pretty, i appreciate it as art, not exclusively out of nostalgia

always loved this style

give back windows 7 god damn i miss its bubbly screensaver and funky flash games

I loved this video I'm for sure gonna watch any other videos you make of niche aesthetics
The intro is like straight out of fallout if fallout aestethic was 2000s instead of the 50s
Yo running into this just now because I stay watching every frutiger aero video I come across, I really appreciate the shoutout!!
I think that frutiger aero was implemented in car industry that time too. I can feel this aesthetics in cars like Smart, first Toyota Aygo or PT Crusier. Mostly in silver colour and chrome parts.
underrated and fantastic video that brought me to your second channel ❤
One of my favorite takes on the topic. Kudos.
This video needs more views. Great video man!
9:31 is basically a 1997 kid's birthday party, I had one of these styles when I was 5
In 97'.... 😂
Really fun video! Watched all the way
When i was little i thought this was gonna be the future when i saw those pictures on the school computers and old phones. I'm sure we all thought of that
hwo does this bare;y have any views this is underrated this is awesome
Wow, I never really even thought of this as being an aesthetic with a name. Damn, so nostalgic.
You makin out of the unknown youtube suggestions with this one dude
Hahah that’s the gosl
Windows XP isn't aero though, Vista is.
It was the start
The mainstreaming of Frutiger Aero began in Late-2004 with the releases of Windows Media Player 10. Windows Vista was not out for another 2 years.
Why it feels like we already live on that era back then
I will never forgive myself for wanting to upgrade Windows 7 to 10 😭💀
Frutiger was born out of the sadness of 9/11, the revival is coming from the sadness of the pandemic. In trauma, we seek hope.
No it was born out of capitalism and everyone trying to use cgi. Back then the shinier the more fancy.
I swear to god if I hear “child like wonder” or “glossy and bubbly” one more I’m in going to cry.

The future we never got, we got cyberpunk instead xD.
This just makes me feel old cause I remember using that style of powerpoint in middle school.
The wallpapers look like a friendly liminal space.

You can still have this esthetic, just change your computer. Also I love Frutiger Aero but it's corporate as hell, idk why you said it wasn't

love frutiger aero i wish it could come back some how
I miss it
We were young...
Being born in 1998, i can say my peak childhood years was between 2004 to 2010
Synthwave, chillwave, vaporwave are very very good
I was born in 2003 and I remember all of this
I can imagine Heaven looking like frutiger aero ✝️ God bless you
Is it just me or is Hatsune Miku just frutiger aero in person form?

My future lore:
By the late 2020s, people criticised the flat designs more, which is the leading cause of the slow decline of the Flat Design, but in 2030, Microsoft would release the Windows 15 operating system, containing a very skeuomorphic design language that immediately phased flat design out following the slow decline from the 2020s. Therefore, in 2030s, Frutiger Aero was very mainstream again, and some people call the Flat Design era as the "dull ages".
sometimes i like to act like an frutiger aero themed ai robot just to see people's reaction, why frutiger aero? i like it.
trivial info: the word "glossy" was said 678 times across this video
Thinking people who are 14 right now are feeling the same as your closing statement is for sure overthinking it lol. Idk about you, but I was in 8th grade at 14 ykwim 😅
But I totally agree for people who have moved far enough from childhood to be able to have those reflections. Regardless, 14 year olds are still capable of nostalgia even for 80's aesthetics because at its root, it's only nostalgia lol
Man 😮
I used to own a laptop with windows 7 rip
Virtualbox can give you back Windows 7, you just need to find an OS disk.
but windpws vista was release 2006 everything before that was windows xp
There's a few errors in this video. XP wasn't Aero at all. The Xbox 360 came out in 2005 it was not Aero at the beginning either. In fact the main reason this aesthetic is named Aero is because of Vista.

I used to awesome be missing like these two kids also in the forest like an old days I was also like even three years old and I was awesome found but the ending was different unlike this 2 kids i was prity young
and some time i dont remeber this story because I was too young and now adult I actually knew what the story actually was but yea
very interestine story of two kids went missing in the forest
I feel that this died out in more of 2015. For example, the mobile port of sonic 4 episodes 1&2. This is EXTREMELY this aesthetic. And the reason it looks like this is because of "if it's not 3D then it's not cool/modern"

great programs but just remember everything corporations touches, turn to sh*t!
also the psp was released 2005
16:13 that is the 2010 look
13:18 so retro futurism?
The playstation 9 trailer
I used to think those were the best years myself until my mom heard me say it and gave me her take 😅😅
What was her take.
I don't know if it's my language barrier, but "..frutiger aero beginnings back to 2001 when Vista??? were becoming more popular.."; bro, wdym Windows Vista in 2001? 😂
"..the next year in 2005 Windows XP was released to the public.." .. Windows XP is 2001... and unlike Vista, it didn't have Aero, man. But I think Royale theme for XP has Frutiger Aero aesthetic pretty much.
And this (4:25) on the left is clearly not Y2K

9:25 Uh, that's actually "Fotonight Web"
I don't think anyone actually likes the flat designs they were just kinda forced onto us. we could've stuck with fruitiger aero and nobody would've complained, and the people who do don't deserve to speak.
