What are /co/'s genuine thoughts on the current retro zeitgeist? Seemingly every indie animated pilot is set in the 2000s, and uses trends from the era. Hell, not just cartoons, indie video games and music as well. Anything independent jocks the 2000s style.
Has it gotten too stale/cliche to enjoy now? Or do you welcome the overabundance of drum n bass bgm, and hot girls wearing jnco jeans and soap shoes?

Either Zoomers got old enough to start making their own pilots now, or Millennials are just now starting to pander to Zoomers.

If the 00s are coming back, the use of retard and back to the kitchen jokes should too.
>>
>>153717556
The pilot explains nothing about the premise its just a test in slapstick gags which dont work with a Totally Spies looking artstyle
>>
>>153717584
People already regularly use retard again, the taboo against it's basically fallen out of fashion in just the last 3 years.
>>
>>153717556
People who grew up in the 2000's are old enough to have jobs and draw pictures.

/co/ loves complaning about new shit.
>>
>>153717556
It's just par of the course, same thing happened with the 80s and 90s. Curious they seem to be trying to imitate an "aesthetic" or "vibe" instead of referencing the period itself though, interesting new sensibility zoomers have.

This. Using the word fag or tranny is alot more taboo and the former will get you cancelled forever.

I used to get autistically mad when I'd recognize a trend that no one else was acknowledging, and the y2kcore shit was no exception. But now that people are starting to call it out, my contrarian rage has ceased.
It's like any other fad, you have to sort the good from the bad. Planetron has artistic merit, even if it's hopping on an aesthetic trend.
Although the difference between the "muh gameboy pokemon chiptunez" retro hoopla of yesteryear, and the y2k fanaticism of today, is the latter feels more disingenuous, because no one in the states grew up with weird jp-import video games. Most of these assholes don't even play the games they're ripping aesthetics from, they just listen to the music rips on youtube

I'm not going to watch youtuber garbage but I appreciate the style.

Why would anyone want to do the shit that's been pumped out for the past decade and a half anyways? Cal-arts bean face slop that no one really likes anyways. Just look at the fanart, hardly anyone is actually drawing in that style. You'd think it would be popular because it's easy to draw, which is probably why executives like it, but most people seem to like a little more. I never really cared for it, so I'm happy to see it go.
>Or do you welcome the overabundance of drum n bass bgm, and hot girls wearing jnco jeans and soap shoes?
Yeah, except maybe the soap shoes, I never really gave a shit about those. I wager it's at least partially a rejection of all the HUR DUR SEXY WOMEN BAD, MEN EVIL shit that's been flying around the past fucking 15 years. That shit was never going to stick, so it's no surprise to seen people outside the normal system doing it. I'm all for it, the only people who don't like hot girls are uggos who compare themselves to them and act like the existence of hot girls means their life is meaningless.

It was fun but what artistic merit? It didn't do anything special, is fanservice considered artistic merit?

Holy mother of cringe, Batman!

Designs are good and the animation is consistent.

>fanservice
People who bitch about fanservice and goonbait are the faggiest group of people that ever existed.
>>
>>153718176
I didn't bitch about it. Read my post again, I though it was fun.
>>
>>153718131
>>153718176
Unironically """"indie animation"""" is extremely devoid of fanservice despite the many female protagonists
>>
>>153718516
Because most of it was made by people who would have a break down from females that look like female and not a sexless lump of flesh that don't look male or female

buy an ad, faggot
