I really miss frutiger aero.
>>110072705Optimistic futurism is dead bro
Old good days...
>>110072718>being mentally happy is le bad
>>110072705I miss translucent blue plastic tech
>>110072705>frutiger aeroIt never was a thing. It's all fake internet lore.
>>110072705literally never was a thingmost impressive sharty psyop yet
Frutiger Gayro is literally the worst y2k sub style, fuck off with this tiktok garbage.
>>110072751>>110072741The nomenclature and collages like OP are modern, but this very much was a flavor of y2k back in the day.t. im old
>>110072792It's still corposlop at the end of the day and should be discarded.
>>110072804get the stick out of your ass
>I really miss frutiger aero.Hello zoomer. It was shite.
SOVLLESS
>>110072705Yeah, really makes me want to kill myself.
>>110072822No, XP default blue shit burned my retinas, I used classic theme. Would do the same for vista and 7 if they bothered to fix graphics acceleration so it didn't screen tare. Had almost all the gay effevts like transparency off.
>>110072804Oh don't get me wrong, I don't like it either, just saying it was in fact a thing. In my personal opinion Gen X YAC Soft Club was actually much more influential and wider spread in that time period, and for good reason. In print adds it absolutely kills.
>>110072705I feel we are on the verge of someone reverse engineering Windows 7 using AI. We'll see a new era of aero with a modern kernel.
>>110073287>modern kernel>windowsSomebody tell him
>>110073303
>>110073287https://x.com/_wearr_/status/2108359264209125619also there's a guy who put xp on a linux kernel https://stupidpenisx.com/merckhung/status/2109209652558954669/video/1?s=46
>>110072718For me it's the opposite. AI and robotics is the first thing in 20 years that has made me optimistic about the future.>>110072741>>110072751I'd say yes and no. It just wasn't the kind of a monolith that zoomers make it out to be, but it also doesn't mean it didn't exist.You could have absolutely built yourself a total frutiger environment back then and things were far more positive regarding future outlook generally speaking.But usually you'd just get one or two colorful pieces of plastic mixed in with 80's-90's interior design and products.
Why would you call anything a FruitNigger?
Metro was cooler than aero.
>>110073378
>>110073339Thanks! I'm totally clueless. But I'll wake up with joy every day when we can use Windows 7 again without issues.
>>110073372It was named in honour of you, take a bow
>>110073378I'm with this guy. Wish they let it cook longer though and changed the default color tiles to not be so clown color coded and more uniform and dynamic like windows phone The concept was solid
>>110072705You can't miss something you weren't alive for
>>110072705That's weird, because no one called it 'frutiger aero'.
Where did thos frutiger faggotry come from, I remember aero as a windows theme
>>110073524Some tiktoker or youtuber pulled fritiger out of his ass for some reasonThe guy was just doing fonts unrelated to anything windows aero
>>110073518>erm actually a name for a group of similar styles that was coined after said styles were popular isnt valid because nobody called it that at the time sweaty
>>110073686It was y2k eco futurism, but that's a mouthfull for retards like you to meme
>>110072705its easily recreatable with coding agents for pennies now

>>110072735Deluding yourself is bad, yes.
>>110072735It's not that it's bad, it's just that happiness and optimism are, at least in the short term, luxury goods in a world collapsing to aan ever more efficient state.>Bright colors? Multiple the extra wattage by billions of users. Cut, and underprice the competitor.>Playful animations or system sounds? Users in a hurry hate your guts, and for the rest, that's hundreds of wasted processor cycles. Cut and underprice your competitors.Look at the way a hobbyist and a pro gamer both play a given video game. Now realize that we have to get rid of the hobbyist because opportunity costs of letting him waste resources are better used elsewhere.>Work it harder, make it better, do it faster, make us stronger
>>110073378holy moly kinoI'm pretty sure like 1/3rd to a half of various school note books, bags, pen holders etc. had this kind of stuff on them at one point in timemaybe even morethis was probably much more common of an aesthetic than frutiger areo no?
>>110072705AquaFresh-pilled and Scope-based.
>>110073817Gaymer pros are literal flesh bots though, everything has been optimized and minmaxed the fun out of.
>>110073935No shit, bro. That's my point. That's our future. Fun is superfluous. Welcome to the Iron Cage of Efficiency.
It's been 20 years, all the non mentally challenged people have had careers and family since then.
>>110073552Segoe UI was based on Frutiger.
>>110074340And Arial was based on HelveticaSo what? Shit's tangently correlated
>>110073552That's incorrect. Around 2015 there were a couple of facebook groups created by Evan Collins and FroYo Tam, couple of artists/art history researchers. One of them was Y2K Aesthetic Institute, the other was Consumer Aesthetics Research Institute. That's where most of the Y2K adjacent terminology got coined, like McBling, GenX YAC Soft Club and the whole Frutiger family, as well as terms like blobject.It is, in fact, retarded zoomer tiktokers who, as always, completely miss the point and ran it into the ground.t. im old and I was in those groups.
>>110074799>artists/art history researchersSo complete human waste trying to paint themselves as figures of authorityGot it
>>110072705it was only ever called aero. anyone who says>frutigeris going to be gassed after 5 years in the gulag of my minecraft base
>>110075195It wasn't even called "aero", that was specifically the name of the Windows Vista/7 interface style. The overall period aesthetic with all the tropical fish and whatnot is what people decided to call "frutiger aero" long after it went away.
