:D hi

[@RipplyAnemone67]

As someone born around the middle of the gen z age gap some of these are so nostalgic and make me miss the good old days.

[@livingdeadgirIx]

older brother core is so nostalgic omg i wish i could've been this type of brother in the 2000's😭😭

[@omegazero7174]

Excuse me, how old are you?

[@livingdeadgirIx]

@ 15

[@Ganerrr]

idc what you say i want all of these back simultaneously: i want every store, website, room decor, etc i see to be entirely unique and have styles/aesthetics from any/all history

[@Ultimate850.]

Aero core is just a very clean and pure aesthetic, kinda like how a certain type of food can bring you back, like you never have forgotten it

[@Max_blast_1T_volts]

Older brother core is underrated. It makes want to eat Doritos and play Black ops with my Bros.

[@JadenSalads]

Nothing better than that

[@Calculator-Idiot]

core core is underrated also

[@mincrowavv]

actually so happy that you aren't overly negative about the present while focusing on the kind of topics you do (topics from the past, liminal spaces, etc.) because you are like the only content creator who isn't

[@TheStarshipGarage]

I was born in 2005 and my name is one of those mentioned in the "older brother core" screenshot and I am actually an older brother 😭 My aesthetic is best found on the covers of the Resurrection Band albums "D.M.Z" "Awaiting Your Reply" and "Live Bootleg" mixed with a diner from the 50s also mixed with a Nintendo NES with a healthy dosage of B-17 Flying Fortress. I'm an.... eclectic guy...

[@visyrlreaction]

Frutiger Aero and Early 2010's Internet hit so close to home, I miss the early 2010's internet. Truly a time to be remembered. Great video man, keep up the good work and remember to take breaks when necessary.

[@JadenSalads]

LOL my bad

[@Wicked_Fox]

I don't care what anybody says, late 2000s and early 2010s core NEEDS TO COME BACK! It was a special time. People weren't afraid to take risks, people were so creative, funny and smart jokes, and the colors. Now everybody is afraid of taking risks cause "I won't get money!" Or "I will get canceled!", everything is unoriginal, dull, generic and so boring. Creativity barely exists after the rise of AI, and the internet culture is extremely toxic compared then. For me, 2009 - 2018 was peak internet. 2019 Onwards is just one big toxic ocean.

[@eb3i]

1:00 I’ve also heard people call it just “Rodrick Core” it’s kinda true lmao

Thanks, and i'm glad!!

OLDER BROTHER CORE AND FRUTIGER AERO ARE MY ALL TIME FAVS :( my brother is 6 years apart from me and he was very much the epitome of older brother core. He was sort of mean to me, but he would and still does fiercely protect me. Frutiget aero was very much my personal obsession when i was younger, i loved our family laptop because it had all of the classic frutiger aero themes :)

6:40 my dad uses this song for when he’s testing how much depth and texture his new speakers can produce in their sound. It’s weird hearing it out of that context.

[@copbaguet]

Even as gen alpha (11, 2013) somehow this still makes me so nostalgic, frutiger aero is my favorite liminal space core type thing,

Yeah Same Here I was Born In 2005 but still I Got to Enjoy This Aesthetic Of That Time All Long too

I think I might have been the older brother 😅 although one of my earliest memories is playing n64 smash bros with older neighbour kids in the late 90s, same idea

[@FriendlyBaphomet]

I honestly wish me all of these back... They do remind me of better, simpler times with less worries and more optimism for the future and a much more relaxed vibe... Nowadays everything's so cold, sterile looking, stressful, fast and pessimistic... Just overall soulless... The only thing i don't miss at all are the annoying ringrone mascots or 2000's virtual singers as you call them

[@squidyparty]

honestly , how you described art teacher core is basically panera lol

[@Itsbully06]

I do have some older brother core Its mainly the fact that one of them has had a band and rocks the long hair.

I lived and even experienced the Frutiger Aero one over 16 years ago! I'll never forget the moment the internet was a cool place that time. Even my first computer OS I ever used in my life had such themes to it! It was Windows Vista btw.

[@Sebedits1-g2r]

Frutiger Areo reminds me of the the lorax idk why tho?

Pizza Hut in the Early 2000s Had that same GVC art Style (atleast in Europe)

THANK YOU JADEN U THE BEST BRO

[@DrunkSylveonGaming_YT]

Bro when i ain't got no iPhone started playing i legit almost cried I listened to that song like everyday when I was in the fifth grade 😭😭😭

[@PastelRemix]

Millennial perspective but Frutiger Aero should be S+ tier. Not only are modern producers/djs actively chasing that "vibe", I'm telling you now - I thought the nostalgia appeal would die down but for many it has become their favorite aesthetic due to the core elements of mixing nature + tech. Such a simple concept, but it was executed so well and literally those initial frutiger aero interfaces were meant to literally ease people into the design concept as a whole.

[@StyleshStorm]

I didn't realize this is a Gen Z channel. As a 90s baby I am unwelcome here. Ty for the liminal space vidyaz though.

[@Fabiii02]

Your voice is so calming I could fall asleep ngl

Am I the only one that thinks "Gen Z" and "Millenial" aesthetics overlap a bit at times? Like, I'm definitely millennial, but a ton of this stuff still feels nostalgic to me.

[@salam-peace5519]

It's a shared aesthetic for both, younger millenials experienced mostly the same stuff as older Gen Z in their teenager and early adult years, just a a few years older. I'm born in 1995 so right on the edge between Millenial and Gen Z and can identify with a lot of things from both generations.

That intro tho aphex twin goes hard 🔥

[@daveninava]

For Me My Own Opinions I Would Love To See Frutiger Aero, Global Village Coffeehouse, Skeuomorphism To Come Back It Was A Best Design Interior Aesthetic Ever, It Was Fun, Joy, Hope But Today Interior Aesthetic Design Is Boring, Garbage, Bad, Plain, Souless And Is Really Horrible, I Prefer Three Aesthetic To Make A Return SomeDays Because Now We Start To See Solarpunk Make Into The Scene With Billionaire Like China, Elon Musk Buliding A Water Ocean City With Eco System Attach To It And I Am So Exicted For That Hopefully It Will Happen One Day

The new intro is so good wtf

7:07 Beep Street by Squarepusher! Awesome choice for a song
