Why did this aesthetic die?
>>220745789Unlike you, the rest of the world has changed in the last 20 years
>>220745789Thing that seemed cool eventually became seen as lame. A tale probably as old as culture itself.
>>220745824Yeah it got a lot fucking gayer
>>220745789leather is murder.
thank god
>>220745789Long black coats are a white man thing and whites are not allowed to have their own cultural traits anymore
>>220745789Because it went from being cool to being cringe. It's how fashion works.
>>220746130Now we just have to wait for it to become retro cool again.
Fat nerds with fedoras and fingerless gloves started wearing trenchcoats, making them lame. Then they trooned out.
>>220746178This.The typical case of a fanbase killing their own favorite thing.
it's proto-capeshit from an era when they were still slightly embarrassed about themselves. i wish it stayed that way. some of that stuff is alright, while full marvel slop is something i can't stand.
>>220745789Hesitant Weevil is missing from this collage
>>220745789It’ll come back around in 5-10 years2010s was the decade of 80s nostalgia. 2020s are 90s nostalgia, so by that logic 2030s should be millennium-wave nostalgia. Gonna be interesting to see what comes next after that because the 2010s really didn’t have a culture, that’s when social media slopification of society really started to kick in
>>220746771It feels like we hardly got a 90s nostalgia wave though. We did get a fairly solid 80s wave.
>>220746834Zoomers are nostalgic as fuck for a 90s they never lived through Mullets and wolfcuts are early 90s codes, they’re quite popular now. Lots of performative zoomers have analog tech like cameras or walkmans. The biggest cartoon right now, TADC, leans into 90s computer games as a style, and so does other media. Drum and bass is popular again the same way synth music got popular ten years ago.It’s more subtle, but it’s definitely around.
>>220745789I own a big trench coat like this in real life. Duster jacket. It's funny, most people don't like it but I often get compliments from black people when I wear it. Literally only ever black people, but it happens kind of a lot. Anyway, Paris Hilton (very smart woman) said "You should dress up and look cute wherever you go. Life's too short to blend in." I'm gonna bring this aesthetic back myself because it's fucking sweet.
>>220745789The 90s were super dark, we came in off of everyone getting AIDs and dying, the crack epidemic, heroin addiction, celebrities dropping dead in their mid twenties from violence or drugs, the Gulf War, sub-cultures were still a thing, technology was rapidly changing, and people genuinely did not know WTF was going to happen after 1999. That's where the dark aesthetic comes from. Things are bad now but people are way more distracted, it's easier to live in bubbles, and there's less face to face interaction and going out to do anything, so escapism is more of a thing. I doubt it comes back, things are horrifically bright and colorful now, fully lit by RGB peripherals and ring lights.
>>220746922You know what, I was mainly thinking about TV or films set in the actual 90s, and wasn't thinking about those other factors. I guess we did get a 90s nostalgia wave huh.
>>220745789something somethin school shootings, problematic.
>>220745789They made too many bad movies with the aesthetic and the negative association rubbed off.
>>220745789because goth is exclusively white culture
>>220745789Since the 2000's the world is gay.
>>220746962I inherited an old school trench coat from my great grandfather but I'm too autismo to wear anything like that where people can see me.
too video gamey
>>220748360it's not and never has beenunironically stop trying to appropriate shit you've never been a part of
>>220745789Most of them were just copying Blade
>>220745789Jews
>>220745789Voodoo People by Prodigy started playing as soon as I saw this image.
>>220745789No idea what you're talking about. I just went to the Trent Reznor concert and it was in full effect. Cool people never abandoned it.
>>220747883Most corporate visual media in general is just such forgettable and out of touch slop these days that it doesn’t really matter for pop culture. It’s worth noting The Backrooms (original vid, not sure what A24 will do) and pretty much all analog horror is set in the 90s too consider.

>>220745824>Everything became gay and lower qualityWow great change, fuck anyone who wants to go back before THAT.
Fat black people began showing up in advertisement and for some reason, after Occupy Wall Street, we began listening to the fat blue haired hamplanet with septum piercings screechings into the megaphone instead of just ignoring them as we always did.
>>220746178I wear fingerless gloves but I'm in excellent shape because I care about my looks and personal health.
>>220745824>Unlike you, the rest of the world has changed in the last 20 yearsFor the worst too. Like who in the fuck gets excited for movies these days. Don't ask question, just consume product, and then get excited for next product.
