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....
we cant though there is no ending to the election in about 100 days or less. that does not result in a conflict resembling the troubles in northern Ireland. Neither side will actept a peaceful transfer of power. and a presidential canadate has already had an attempt on their life. With the opposing leader stepping down along with the leader of the secret service. There is no hope for the future at least not in the USA.

@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.
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.
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'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.
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
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!
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.
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
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
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
I hope this aesthetic comes back fully, I’m so sick and tired of minimalism, i just want things to have more color and depth. I know the world has been more grim in recent years, but…i believe if we try we can’t make it more happy again. I don’t want future generations to live in this dystopian society, i want them to live in the future we were promised…but never got. We need less grimness, less negativity, less pessimism…and more happiness, positivity, and Optimism.
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 will never return. There is no hope. The society that allowed this thing to exist. is long gone...we are facing the worst time in the history of the western world.
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)
Just subbed. I like your videos like your new Lost Tapes video and the Well to Hell. This one was good too, I miss the aesthetic and didn’t realize it had a name until now.
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've just realized, what probably happened was, we all collectively wanted to disappear from the real world, a lot of awful things happened between 2001 and 2009, frutiger aero was there to take us out of that world and into the digital world which then and now is completely detached from real life, and always will be. This is why I think it's important to bring back frutiger aero, not for nostalgia, but as a psychological safety net. Whether we like it or not, we're all animals and sometimes our inner monkey needs to see green fields and fresh water, instead of asphalt, white walls, square shapes and badly maintained parks.
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".
Here’s the thing about frutiger aero’s timing in the real world, especially a post-9/11 world-turmoil and economic recession were incredibly present during the conception of many of those aesthetics. Not only was the look in the future an almost Icarus-esc state of optimism, it was intentionally done so in a time of equal unrest. The 2008 recession I know was very prevalent in my childhood, but much of the escapism attached to that was through the era of frutiger aero. Playing Just Dance at a friend’s house when money was tight at home is an experience that was common in so many people’s childhoods. It’s not so much that we were lied to when told tales about the future as kids. The adults around us were writing those tales in order to find some escapism from their present, too.
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.
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)
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.
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
@@samtron5000Don't you love how these genziers are essentially making up nostalgia?Oja for something that really didn't even exist the way they think it did
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…
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)
Frutiger Aero, including its subgenres, are the future I want to live in. So full of charm & life & character. As User Interfaces but also in the real world. _This_ is the future I want to fight 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.
I really liked this video, also found your channel yesterday and had quite a binge of your more recent stuff. Great job, fantastic research. Did you end up doing more of the -core vids? I still haven't watched all of your stuff, but it is a very ibteresting topic and you have a good grasp on the subject. If you didn't make those yet - consider this a cheer-on 😃
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!
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.
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
7 місяців тому
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."
Minimalism can be nice, I'm just quite bored of EVERYTHING being minimally designed at the moment. It takes the element of fun out of the way things are designed, it's all so utilitarian that it just loses any sense of excitement, to me at least. I think most people can agree that we all need more colour and positivity in our lives, and I don't think the current design trends provide that at all.
i found this vid outta nowhere and i dont regret it,but i hate how dead the internet looks and everything else today and how much degenerates there are
I can explain the sudden shift from frutiger aero to flat designs: Phones. You can blame it on the phones. The mobile web has had its sudden surge in popularity over the years since 2013, so first reason: More and more developers thought it'd be more economical to make a web app rather than a full-fledged standalone app for EACH platform, which requires extra resources and manpower to both create and maintain. Think about it, Web apps are far easier to update and maintain because it's like updating a website. Second, there's also this issue on optimizations; You cannot be making users spend a ton of data-especially those with capped plans or on a prepaid-just to load images or other visual assets.
@@RSAgility someone born 14 years ago wouldn’t remember much of this style, let alone anything predating 2010. Most people my age will remember this style more (I’m closer to 30).
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"
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
Millennials were a big part of this; consider how little some of you guys were. ^_^ Im so old now. lol this def is nostalgic. i remember before that when the computers had those weird painting screensavers and game with games. i wonder if anyone know what im talking about. i can hardly remember that but i remember it for sure. there was a cool Barbie website i used to play games on.
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!

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
@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 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.
My school used Windows 7 up to 2018, so I’m very familiar and nostalgic to this aesthetic.
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.
I really liked this video, also found your channel yesterday and had quite a binge of your more recent stuff. Great job, fantastic research. Did you end up doing more of the -core vids? I still haven't watched all of your stuff, but it is a very ibteresting topic and you have a good grasp on the subject. If you didn't make those yet - consider this a cheer-on 😃
This video needs more views. Great video man!
I find it interesting that someone came up with this 'future we were supposed to have' become a music genre. Just like vaporwave.
I was born in 2003 and I remember all of this
I can imagine Heaven looking like frutiger aero ✝️ God bless you
Ikr
I swear to god if I hear “child like wonder” or “glossy and bubbly” one more I’m in going to cry.
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!
I with there was a frutiger Aero backrooms level. It would be amazing
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.
Really fun video! Watched all the way
Back then technology had some love behind, there was actual innovation and creativity. Nowadays everyone's doing the same.
Why it feels like we already live on that era back then
20:05 Good job on the goosebumps
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
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."
Minimalism can be nice, I'm just quite bored of EVERYTHING being minimally designed at the moment. It takes the element of fun out of the way things are designed, it's all so utilitarian that it just loses any sense of excitement, to me at least.
I think most people can agree that we all need more colour and positivity in our lives, and I don't think the current design trends provide that at all.
Synthwave, chillwave, vaporwave are very very good
i found this vid outta nowhere and i dont regret it,but i hate how dead the internet looks and everything else today and how much degenerates there are
sometimes i like to act like an frutiger aero themed ai robot just to see people's reaction, why frutiger aero? i like it.
The future we must work together to achieve
I will never forgive myself for wanting to upgrade Windows 7 to 10 😭💀
awesome video basically everything you said we feel nowadays is how i feel
im actually watching this on my windows 7 pc!
I can explain the sudden shift from frutiger aero to flat designs: Phones.
You can blame it on the phones. The mobile web has had its sudden surge in popularity over the years since 2013, so first reason: More and more developers thought it'd be more economical to make a web app rather than a full-fledged standalone app for EACH platform, which requires extra resources and manpower to both create and maintain. Think about it, Web apps are far easier to update and maintain because it's like updating a website.
Second, there's also this issue on optimizations; You cannot be making users spend a ton of data-especially those with capped plans or on a prepaid-just to load images or other visual assets.
frutiger aero makes me feel at ease
This man said “14-25” how about 18-30 lmaooo anyone born 14 years ago would hardly remember this.
makes me feel so old seeing young kids not get their dates right..
....don't correct them!
@@RSAgility someone born 14 years ago wouldn’t remember much of this style, let alone anything predating 2010. Most people my age will remember this style more (I’m closer to 30).
im a little under 16 and i remember it very well, when i was 5 in 2013 but seemingly disappearing after 2014
So much of this is wrong but I admire the spirit.
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"
The engagement bait on this video is wild
How the fuck you got so much dates wrong. Xp was relased in 2001, vista in 2007
Still rocking an old iPod, and even a 15" PowerBook G4 Aluminum running OSX Panther (10.3).
we need a future like frutiger aero.
The future we never got, we got cyberpunk instead xD.
That Is True Right There
love frutiger aero i wish it could come back some how
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
Millennials were a big part of this; consider how little some of you guys were. ^_^ Im so old now. lol this def is nostalgic.
i remember before that when the computers had those weird painting screensavers and game with games. i wonder if anyone know what im talking about. i can hardly remember that but i remember it for sure. there was a cool Barbie website i used to play games on.
27, but yeah. This definitely applies.
I miss it
BRING IT BACK
