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.

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.

[@TheAdventuresOfJimiJaden]

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.

[@SimeonObeyMe]

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.

[@TheAdventuresOfJimiJaden]

Same here, and also if they get rid of that bloatware shit.

[@AubreyHolmes]

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.

[@YurNpc]

Now it’s just very simplified I wish it was back to frutiger aero

[@Ditto-Guy]

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.

[@swagknightx]

[@whistlingmidnight]

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!

[@viaxxl]

I SWEAR ive seen that toy in Target

[@drummerjack03]

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

[@christian4688]

[@stevennussbaum3289]

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.

[@MauseDays]

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.

[@dookiebrains3824]

It should be fair if you're born in 99. That means that you pretty much grew up exactly when smartphones became toxic tbh

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.

[@quentinarrius]

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)

[@MylarDaleToloMDTTV]

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".

[@ReeseHosgood]

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.

[@beckettgreen1678]

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.

[@Cricket.croaks._.]

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.

[@aeingal]

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.

[@AphidKirby]

Really fun video! Watched all the way

[@OfficialUSKRprogram]

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.

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.

[@Siorse]

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.

[@ovum]

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.
