[@sbubwoofer]

well, yeah, you have to consider the (political) climate at the time. People were just made aware of climate issues, and it was the biggest thing to fight them. It was a huge weigh on their minds. Really strange how that's not incorporated into contemporary futurology... (see: cyberpunk, it's a massive thing now) ;;;;; I guess doomscrolling makes people not realize the beauty of individuality? I implore you to reconnect with nature, you might find it helps you more than you could ever have imagined. (Edit: excessive) Connectivity is a curse, but it's not an immortal thing, we're just in a pit society-wise, one that (I think) we're already coming out of. As Tolkien said, evil cannot create, so in turn, evil will rot, nothingness will only be nothing for us. I am excited for the future, though I don't think many of us will look back at the "good old 2020s" anytime.

[@SoulSearchAndDestroy]

@@sbubwoofer You hit the nail on the head. These things come in cycles. I think the whole "doomscrolling" and dystopian aesthetics (and lifestyles) will fall out of favor, as all things do, especially if (or most likely, when) the energy grid switches to "green." Frutiger Aero is like the precursor of Solarpunk, and I'm for it. I imagine we'll be seeing something like this come into vogue as "green" becomes a way of life as opposed to a movement or a niche. Side note, Internet Club's albums, especially "Redefining the Workplace," always brought me back to this vibe.

When Tomorrowland premiered in 2015. Why won't they help the movie by going to theaters so that the movie can be profitable? I would be a consultant for 70 dollars a month for that movie and make corrections to the script, just one example: in the last scene they give a pin to a European or American ballet dancer, I would change that scene for a woman of the same age as Africa who is living in Africa and is working through the difficulties of being a ballet dancer. Desire and be a ballet dancer in Europe in the year 2005 with a cultured public that already exists, and maintain that culture and inspiration with a pre-established cultured society and a percentage of that society will see that ballet dancer, desire to be a ballet dancer. ballet in Europe is easy; On the other hand, I wish to be a ballet dancer in Africa, a woman who, by chance, was given greater intelligence, conscience and empathy by the genetic lottery, and she knows the social and economic problems, human moral degeneration, environmental decay, political corruption, etc. who lives in most African countries including her country of origin, wanting to be a ballet dancer there would have to think that for her to have an audience there, things would have to improve along with the mentality of the average African changing for the better and wanting to increase their intelligence through books and content that adds to one on the internet (browsing after 5 years), that aspiring African ballet dancer thinks and wishes that with her art of ballet dance she inspires her society to that improvement after many challenges and defeats in the end, overcome, with her dream of being a ballet dancer, not only would she be fulfilling her dreams, but she would be improving her society for the better and a turning point for the future. Dreaming about being a ballet dancer in Africa IS being a realistic dreamer (when she is intelligent) and she DOES need to be given the Tomorrowland Pin. The above is the context and reason for only ONE correction that I would make to the script of the movie Tomorrowland. Because I have more corrections, like adding arguments from the book "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion" by Jonathan Haidt in Hugh Laurie's speech, another correction as a fair and upright judge (but smart to deserve the Pin ) in a corrupt justice system, which also receives the Pin in the final scene, current reality with programmed obsolescence and the falsehood of companies and media with the environment, internet censorship to not combat certain issues , regular people choose content for “fun” that makes them dumber, etc. There are more adjustments that I would make to the film's script, which the film's screenwriter Brad Bird was unable to make due to lack of knowledge of general culture and current and historical reality. Giving a film that is more human, more inspiring and at the same time soft to assimilate so that children can go home and dream while they sleep (and adults too).

Frutiger Aero was the apex of optimistic futurism and in an era that perhaps came the closest to achieving it's dreamed utopia. I guess that's what makes it so bittersweat to look back on knowing the future we were all promised throughout our childhoods would never come to be. I can only hope that someday a new generation will be able to recapture this feeling we all felt once not that long ago.

[@gregoryedwards9097]

This. This truly hurts. I was 11 when we got the internet in 2000 and I just remember being so optimistic about the future. In retrospect, I can see how frutiger aero subconsciously influenced it as well as with these futuristic yet light hearted songs. I feel so sad for this generations youth, surrounded with such trauma from social media, global conflicts and turmoil that wasn’t prevalent in the late 90s / early 2000s.

This is a weird kind of nostalgia, because it’s not really 2000s nostalgia. Most of this is 80s and 90s nostalgia from the 2000s. Like a predecessor to Vaporwave. It’s meta nostalgia. Reminds me of walking around in a dying place in the 2000s that used to be alive in the previous decades, but somehow it gets even more specific. Like it’s before the post 2008 bleakness. It’s in 2002 when there’s a big new mall that just opened in your city, and for some reason you’re walking around the old mall that was built in the 60s and is going to close down soon. Or a nice new skating complex has opened up in 2004 and you’re at the old roller rink that has been around since the 70s. Or going to the airport where one terminal got renovated in 2006, but your flight departs from the terminal that is stuck in the 80s and even still has signs for defunct airlines. Going to the ancient arcade that still has Pac-Man and Galaga instead of the shiny new Dave and Busters that is like a casino for kids. It’s like using a payphone to call your parents because your Nokia ran out of battery. I’ve heard that this happens. Like 50s nostalgia is a core part of 80s nostalgia.

But now the unique '90s aesthetic is undeniable, and the '00s aesthetic is emerging as unique. Remember, a part of what people focus on in '80s and '90s nostalgia is how _fake_ and consumerist garbage so much of it was. But what's fake and corporate in the present because charming in the future, the naivete of it.

I don't know what it is, but there's something about the late 90s early 2000s that's just to endearing to me, everything just seemed so simple then

[@JustKouki]

pretty smooth and relaxing mix kinda gives me GranTurismo 4 vibes

[@r4fa3l]

Glad you like it!

This is the future we want. Clean cities and unharmed nature working together. Problems made manageable with no stagnation. I've been on a 2000's binge as of late, from watching classic video game commercials to enjoying things I watched in that time, not exclusive to anime either. But I think it goes deeper than that. In the decades leading up to the year 2000, everyone believed in the turn of the new century and the expectation of everything being futuristic, sleek, white, pristine. Free from all the grunge and grime that came before it. All the logos from websites to products and advertisements even reflected the smooth nature of what the future was supposed to bring. Of course, change ain't that quick, as it happens only over time. But in all honesty? We need to believe in things like this still, even if for Nostalgia reasons. How else will they be made actual if the idea wasn't so enticing to begin with?

[@channel_yeah.idk.]

this brings me back to the times where we had no fear or sadness. we were just :) we woke up and didnt feel stressed. we went to the park with our friends, we didnt worry about anything. this is probably the best feeling anyone can ever have- frutiger aero.

[@M0l0by]

Listening to this while walking through the neighborhood I grew up in really puts a tear in my eye

[@txfan100]

The definition really sells me on the aesthetic. Humanitarian ism mixed with a futuristic sense/view of the future. Reminds me of what humanity could still be if we really try and fix things.

[@pf4boax-xajn1]

I really love 2000s,it's delight time,relatives were young,they all love me,internet is still amazing and excellent,life don't have any trouble.Unfortunately,I never have the same feeling in my future life,never have same happiness.

[@vanvict9393]

WE MAKING IT TO THE 44TH FLOOR WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥

[@dvdvideo10]

The new millennium was still very young and that "end of history" sense from the 90s was still present. The possibilities for the future seemed endless.

[@aar....]

this reminds me of the wii u... man time flies

[@SonicMaster519]

Wii U seems like the last frutiger aero console

[@herefornothing2110]

My friend and I always revere Frutiger Eco and Aero for how peaceful and balanced the connection between technology, and nature is. It truly is the future we should have had.

[@IgorCarbex]

Frutiger aero is peak sophistication and ellegance, so visually pleasing.

[@namelesschannelelohel4133]

I love this sm! I’m listening to this while drawing :D

bro, this playlist stands out bc of stuff from minecraft, PVZ, wii, games and consoles that came out during that era, the sounds just remind me of bright blue days with green grass, just playing those games and consoles during those times would always be accompanied by those clear skies.

[@r4fa3l]

im about to make a ds wii frutiger aero playlist soon, dont forget to check out my newest frutiger aero playlist!

[@ShinkuYuzai]

I used to always think this was just a cool aesthetic back in the day, but now I just want to go back because I regret not appreciating this era enough. The world of today did not retain these ideals and color from my perspective sadly.

bro i grew up in this era istg my vision of the future was so viewed through rose tinted glasses before, or in this case, fkn green tinted shades

[@inactive_dni]

bro when c418's "cat" came on i legit started crying because i haven't played Minecraft in a decade due to life getting busy and losing interest im 19 and graduated, i gotta play Minecraft again, even though i know its not the same as it was i still wanna play again UPDATE: on September 26th 2023 i turned 20 years old and received three presents: a Nintendo switch and two games: animal crossing new horizons and Minecraft. after eating my cake and thanking my father for the gifts, i immediately started my switch and booted up Minecraft, made a creative world, and had fun just like the old times. i will admit i play animal crossing alot more than Minecraft due to animal crossing having more to do and is overall more entertaining for me (Minecraft is fun with the building freedom, but i like how animal crossing gives you rewards for little tasks that keep you busy), but im very happy im playing Minecraft again, in fact, im also learning command blocks now, something ive always wanted to try. its been a few months and im glad i found time to return to this comment and update UPDATE 2 : guess who got a new computer and also plays Minecraft on it?

[@jackkennerley5329]

I'd recommend finding an old modpack that a youtuber you used to watch played, makes the game feel similar to when we were kids but the mods make it fresh. Ultra modded survival by captainsparklez is a good pick!

This first image really affected me, it reminds me of the 2000s when everything was very clear and fantastic, as a child, the strong colors of blue, nature and the city in perfect harmony, these are images that are very comforting.

[@Squiddle721]

Now if this was on Spotify I would happily go asleep to this ✨

Soon! :D

[@leannecoady]

The building song from Sim City 3000 brought back a lot of happy memories. It's nice to be able to hear it again!

[@sxnbu]

i never realized that Laura Shigihara's music from PvZ sounded like Frutiger Aero until now. it fits somehow :0

[@r4fa3l]

Ikr

[@VanWolf]

I like this strange aesthetic trend that is going on. I legit have trouble figuring out what most of the interiors are meant to be, but they feel like the promise of a future that never happened, and I sense a weird connection as well as eerieness towards them, a lot like liminal space pictures, almost like an optimistic and distant future of the backrooms? I can't quite describe it.

[@Nyck-Dee]

Man, this was just what i needed for one of those moments of overthinking far too much. I love this aesthetic next to weirdcore so much. it brings me a great deal of comfort. Thank you again for this

[@r4fa3l]

Glad to hear it! Oh yeah, btw, im going to make either weirdcore or frutiger aero playlist! or even another aesthetic? no one knows LOL

[@willhjh]

Would never have pegged Flim as Frutiger Aero, but in this mix, it somehow works

[@burtdanams4426]

yeh, exact same thought

[@punktic]

its kind of sad how we will never relive this kind of era of the 2000s. when technology was sort of new and stuff

[@r4fa3l]

:(

[@chaismyatoi]

there is nothing strange in the fact that we missed some time and emotions.We were born when we should have been, we can get into that time just with this playlist, but don't forget, we still have everything ahead of us, new, different emotions!

[@campanellanoki]

the sound of the end of history

[@pablo-rp3xj]

the future that we were promised

[@Group-935]

This was a blast to the past. It reminded me of being like 5 to 10 years old being on the Web, and playing flash games and the like... Crazy nostalgia from this one...

[@ChNIAaw]

In Australia, frutiger aero is everywhere. Its always sunny and looks exactly like that photo, and from 2012-2016 I bought alot of Frutiger Aero stuff and I still have it!

[@hazz62]

no idea this weird specific genre even existed, this is dope

[@justacatlol]

Man idk why but it reminds me of my childhood summer where i played with my friends outside all the time even tho i never heard this song before

[@fabianpascual148]

31:57 OMG THE SIMS FREEPLAY I LOVE

[@user-ws1bs4ns7h]

I get major corporate vibes from the art...but...you know...the corpos making them actually had some idea of that things should look nice and inviting. So you get promising green fields, clean nature and inviting but not intrusive big cityscapes. It almost comes off as like "globalism...but if we did everything right in going at it" sort of vibe. I especially dig how...a consistent theme is space. Like, you...as the viewer in a lot of these videos have freedom and space, you get the notion you could turn around and walk where you want and still have a nice trip.

[@simplenlocal]

i dont have memories from this time period but this sounds like music you would play when your in like a save room in an rpg, or doing litterally nothing around your house

[@simplenlocal]

i only have fond memories of zombies on your lawn

[@burtdanams4426]

most of this music is from the last 10-13 years, the reason this playlist is so good is because it captures the nostalgia we have for the Frutiger Aero aesthetic because most of the music here is also based on nostalgia for earlier musical sounds

[@EpikBlock_]

26:06 this is my favorite one :P

[@sleepykitsune7170]

Omgggg, never thought in a million years would I hear the scp3008 soundtrack on hereee!!! Friday theme will ALWAYS be the best theme!!!!
