Stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Nobody thought the future was going to look like a Frutiger aero except little babies

[@cosmicrevolt7476]

Frutiger aero wasn't a lie, it was an ideal, and we are now the ones who need to thrive toward it.

[@RSAgility]

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....

[@reanetsemoleleki8219]

Lol.

[@predeterminedtornado]

words can't describe how much I love this aesthetic

[@godgamesandgeekiness6893]

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.

Im 16 and still have things like my PSP, 3DS, PS2, PS3, and others. This video made me think about my childhood a lot.

[@dr.coomer9750]

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

[@alumi-natednightsky]

@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🤷

[@Markdark05]

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.

[@TheAdventuresOfJimiJaden]

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

[@YurNpc]

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

[@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.

[@swagknightx]

i love frutiger aero

[@Spoogli]

Same

[@Zzsillykitty_Vi]

FROZEN!!!

[@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.

[@matthewrichardson2533]

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.

[@benschwartz6565]

You switched Windows XP with Windows Vista. XP came out in 2001, and Vista came out in 2006

[@Broogli]

Yeah I realized that after I uploaded it, rip 😭

[@drummerjack03]

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

[@im_a_tide_pod]

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

[@itznoxy7193]

HELL Yeah!

[@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.

[@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!

[@eksotropia]

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

I cannot wait to see the next aesthetic videos, this one was legitimately incredible

[@Littlecults]

[@AEpicGoat]

always loved this style

Explains why your profile picture is the goat from goat simulator

[@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

[@starricherriez]

underrated and fantastic video that brought me to your second channel ❤

[@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.

[@MegadeathAdams]

One of my favorite takes on the topic. Kudos.

Yo running into this just now because I stay watching every frutiger aero video I come across, I really appreciate the shoutout!!

[@hinata750]

The intro is like straight out of fallout if fallout aestethic was 2000s instead of the 50s

[@DigiSpaceProductions]

Windows XP isn't aero though, Vista is.

[@NunoFilipe99]

It was the start

[@Remake5182]

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.

[@AphidKirby]

Really fun video! Watched all the way

[@RSAgility]

9:31 is basically a 1997 kid's birthday party, I had one of these styles when I was 5 In 97'.... 😂

[@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)

[@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.

[@Montgomerygolfgator]

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.

[@samtron5000]

No it was born out of capitalism and everyone trying to use cgi. Back then the shinier the more fancy.

[@megamilo95]

I will never forgive myself for wanting to upgrade Windows 7 to 10 😭💀

[@mercuriani]

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

[@redblazzard3320]

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)

[@derekgamer1978]

The wallpapers look like a friendly liminal space.

[@forresthunter1483]

Wow, I never really even thought of this as being an aesthetic with a name. Damn, so nostalgic.

[@epicevan1024]

hwo does this bare;y have any views this is underrated this is awesome

[@OnyxGamezz]

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

[@loganwykstra7922]

This just makes me feel old cause I remember using that style of powerpoint in middle school.

You makin out of the unknown youtube suggestions with this one dude

Hahah that’s the gosl

[@cortezagain]

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.

awesome video basically everything you said we feel nowadays is how i feel

I find it interesting that someone came up with this 'future we were supposed to have' become a music genre. Just like vaporwave.

[@Shu_K_]

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)

[@isaackingvideos]

I with there was a frutiger Aero backrooms level. It would be amazing

[@Yuhyuhmuhmuh]

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

[@NightSprinter]

Still rocking an old iPod, and even a 15" PowerBook G4 Aluminum running OSX Panther (10.3).

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."

[@alexandreoliveiras7760]

trivial info: the word "glossy" was said 678 times across this video

[@jaredsons4060]

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

[@belstar1128]

16:13 that is the 2010 look

[@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".

[@AbdinasirMohamed-gg5mk]

That was 2013 for me in aelementary

[@Zinkquer]

13:18 so retro futurism?

[@randallbro6749]

The playstation 9 trailer

[@Raviolling]

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"

[@Temebrai]

Niceee

[@berserker6832]

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

[@officialtesco]

9:25 Uh, that's actually "Fotonight Web"

[@lordtraxroy]

but windpws vista was release 2006 everything before that was windows xp

[@michaelangeloabarreto4588]

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.

[@Remake5182]

XP used a lot of it.The mainstreaming of Frutiger Aero began in Late-2004 with the releases of Windows Media Player 10.

[@stevenwarner9156]

Shows a bunch of iMac G3 computers twice, and both times refers to Windows... Come on, dude; the iMac G3 was legendary! :p Okay, pedantic rant over; this is a nice summary of the aesthetic.

[@crazyvitod]

This man said “14-25” how about 18-30 lmaooo anyone born 14 years ago would hardly remember this.

[@RSAgility]

makes me feel so old seeing young kids not get their dates right.. ....don't correct them!

[@crazyvitod]

@@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).

[@kaviennn]

Until 2015-2016 most people still used windows 7

[@DrDornon]

you proounce fruitiger wrong, its not Fruit-ir-ger, its Fruid-chi-ger. i know its not how its written, but its named after mr Fruitiger and id like his legacy to last a little longer.

[@Subzearo]

Nice eyes, bro

[@JessicaFEREM]

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.
