how is no one fucking tired of nothing new happening and people just doing the same shit in loops? We had 80s revival, then 90s now we're in 2000s. It's fucking lame

>>5492393
>>5493262nothing new happening is the reason people are tired of nothing new happeningand thus open to nostalgia and revivals
>>5493262It's due to a variety reasons, but anytime something new happens it either gets cancelled or memory holed, if we had the same (hypocritical) puritanical/anti-west social political culture throughout the 20th century that we have right now, no music, cartoons, anime, video games, films, etc. would have been produced since all the creators would have been cancelled for one reason or another thus ending their short careers, and that's just one of the many list of reasons why everything sucks now.

>>5497105wrong thread friend.:)
>>5497634These types of sites are always filled with trannies, which isn't too surprising given the fact that you need to be on the spectrum to find most of this stuff interesting.

>>5501675Still fully supported, it's my main music listening device, I actually got some songs from that webm on it.
Since you guys enjoy living out the 00's, try out my00stv.com, it tries to emulate 00's TV using youtube videos.
>>5493723Me neither, I remembered it got popular because someone uploaded it and I got this recommendation for it a few years or something.>>5493262Everything sucks nowadays, you just can't have that same energy you had in the olden days since everything's now corpo and no longer closed knit, in other words, you will be surrounded by normies and every niche thing you like will be invaded by normies. Also most new things nowadays are just soulless and shallow, mostly because of cancel culture and puritanism.>>5496817>>5496829This.>>5497666>>5500152Pretty much, I honestly feel like those sites won't even last for very long as there's going to a bunch of retards posting or spamming CSAM and other illegal shit and they'll be a lot of grooming cases. I wish for an old YouTube, closest thing we got is VidLii but it's a bit questionable (not referring to edgy offensive stuff, talking about potentially illegal things, especially the fact groups like homophobic army and clay party are a thing, and the fact the site keeps going down).
>>5501675My parents still have their iPod or something like that, I'm not sure if it still works though after a long time of not using it and possibly collecting dust
>>5490936I wonder if half the anons in this thread were actually sentient enough to remember when this stuff was around.
>>5501675Didn't they have some sort of Ipod phone hybrid device?
>>5502117not a chance
>>5502699yeah it's called an iphone
>>5502117Born in 1997, I lived through this decade and by the late 2000s (I wanna say around 2009) anything frutiger or y2k was considered tacky and out of date, that's also around the time when minimalism was beginning to catch on with millenails. Fashion became more slim fitting and streamlined as opposed to the wacky and gaudy fashion of the 2000s, music became faggier, the cartoons were more focused on being "atmospheric" and "deep" rather than just being fun (except for regular show), video games became more focused on being interactive films with a "deep message" , Anyways I'm just rambling now, the 2000s were far better than the 2010s, even people back then thought so and the sentiment is still felt to this day.
>>5502942I agree with you on most things BUT the fashion sense at the time, 2000's era clothing and hairstyles were godawful.>Captcha: PWARXD
>>5497046Would be nice to have that kind of things...

>>5494411Velkommen -Stan LePardPretty sure the guy also did the sad Halo:Odst Soundtrack bless his soul; he's sadly no longer with us.
>>5495817I'm a zoomer but I vividly remember this because a friend of mine used to sing it in class in Junior High. No fucking clue how he found it but it was stuck in my head for weeks in 7th Grade.
>>5504862Oddly the only use of something close to this style I can think of in the mainstream is this:https://youtu.be/eiPX0qqT_Nk?si=n3IQ3yeejNV82g5A&t=77(Stop the video around 1:43 if you don't want to hear the awful rap verse)
>>5504862We could hope so...
>>5497046What's the song for this one? It gives off similar vibes to this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0qKfYQG7Rs
>>5504862No. As it relates to the aesthetic, it's an ideal that was popular in tech and the environment. Like Y2K, the colorways and beliefs associated can of course still exist but it isn't modern. It's just people ripping off the past the same way we've done for the last 50 years.I don't think there's any true modern aesthetic except for maybe minimalism.
>>5490936Where did the word Frutiger Aero even come from anyway?
>>5509537combination of the frutiger font family and windows aero
>>5502117I do, but you don't, or you'd remember that's not what it looked liked. That gif is missing a ton of detail.
>>5493262because it's brain candy. the culture can't move forward and express itself in an original way because technology has allowed us to summon the past in perfect clarity at a moment's notice. rather than invent something new we can simply wallow in reminders of better times.
>>5503091Better than the skinny fitting minimalist garbage millennials popularized during the 2010s, awful fucking decade and generation.
>>5507894Wii Party menu theme. The Wii wasn't necessarily within the confines of fruitiger aero but it has such an incredibly potent 2000s style to it. If you really wanted to get specific with it (which people probably eventually will) you could coin a new umbrella term for the Wii aesthetics and other things of the time

>>5509918Born in '97 son, try again.
I love this kind of genre. It's soothed me...
>>5510502No it wasn't familiar to you zoom zoom. You just witnessed second hand nostalgia from seeing other people who were actually old enough to use a computer
The internet was the millenial teen secret club. Older people couldn't get it. Gen X had their spaces like pop culture that was foreign for their parents. Baby boomers had their spaces too, their music and avant garde culture.Zoomers have fucking nothing, everything is corporate and standardized and zombiefied and fucking gay, there is no new frontier only hopelessness and nihilism.>>5502117This looks like a cheap flash clone instead of the real thing
What is your favorite kind of Frutiger Aero, guys?
what would a Frutiger Aero aesthetic military look like?
>>5511896It was. Not second hand. You know anyone can use an old computer, even today?
>>54909361991Yeah, you're here forever
>>5490936None of this was "popular" though. Aero was the style of a product of a corporation that had gained monopoly, but people had no say in it, even if it's true that it's still at the upper end of the slippery slope of soullessness than what we've been getting.

>>5490936I remember being on shitty god awful fucking public computers in school and libraries then finally building my own as a kid, first build on Windows 95, then feeling a bit better about computers, then when 98 came out i was fucking stoked, XP dropped and i was one of the people whose family was buying extra copies to give to friends and family members and XP absolutely rocked my world especially for gaming; XP was where it was fucking at. I specifically remember being so fucking hyped during this install that i had this song playing in my soul and i reinstalled literally an hour later just to relive the process again and record the song. What a fucking ride the 90s were. Amazing shit was happening.

Has anyone here tried spacebey out? I went on there and all I could find were teenage trannies and other lgbt freaks. But the overall design of the site is very 2000s and definitely looks like myspace so it's tempting to make an account on there.

>>5517220That's literally all it is, trannies and zoomers trying to capture nostalgia they weren't around for. They all huddle to the corners of the web and everything into a pseudo-depressed fag hub.I joined it 3 years ago and it definitely has the myspace look to it but that's it. I customized my page using old myspace background sites I found on the wayback machine, and then stopped logging in after a month.
>>5518022It's funny seeing these teens indulging in shit I grew up doing, at least back then myspace wasn't full of delusional trannies, there's also a site called "old social" or something like that which is basically just the old version of Facebook, as someone who browsed facebook during it's peak, I don't know how to react, it's funny but also kind of sad seeing these teens chasing a past they can never experience, I guess I've reached boomer status and I'm barely 26, culture really has stagnated.

>>5518061Aren't the 2010s kind of still going? I mean, culturally speaking things don't change overnight, remember how 2004 just felt like an extension of the 90s? I think the same things happening now.

>>5501195Not him, but in windows 7 they added the transparency effects to the task bar, title bar and other elements in windows and also improved some of the functionality, also i think also allowed you to it being animated so it kinda looked like there was wind blowing through it, pretty nice but turned out to be destracting., so it's the first iteration of the frosted look you have today in these elements. See examples in yt.

I had this phone in 2010 after my LG Rumor got smashed by a baseball. I just found it while going through old shit. This might be the ultimate Frutiger Aero phone given it's color and eco-friendly manufacturing.
>>5518022the irony there is that these trannies would have been bullied to death during the 2000s, even weirder are the trannies who are into bands like limp bizkit and slipknot, as if the original fans of both these bands wouldn't have made their lives miserable had they actually been around during that time.
I want to take a shit in the frutiger aero toilet
>>5516484I listened and it was truly fucking retarded. I'm not the biggest capitalist guy out there but the way he hamfists capitalism, communism, democracy and equity talking points into a topic without showing that they relate in any way is dumb. No, it wasn't welfare and community housing that produced the great art of the 60s and 70s. It was mostly rich kids including the artists the writer would revere who make artistic innovation, because they have such exposure to art that they get tired of what they have and try to do something new. That continues to be true today. There are some outliers, moreso now since due to capitalism even poor people have access to phones and can listen to free music to their heart's content.But he makes a common mistake to the people in this chat, in claiming that nothing new truly happens in culture. He calls out the period from 2003-2011 as the most dead period for culture since the most dead period since the 50s, but even in popular music that simply wasn't true, and we'll let him off easy on the styles developing at that time because a large number of new styles came from 2009-2014, moreso than maybe any period up to that point. But even in that time frame, frutiger aero which this thread is about and these anons lament as a pastiche from a more soulful time, was from said era! There's nothing in the previous quite like the Halo soundtracks, or Nickelback post-The Long Road and the bands it inspired, or Soulja Boy the downfall of modern music, or Coldplay, or metalcore, or teen-girl rock like Avril Lavigne. You don't have to like it, but it was new. Culture was anything but stagnant, not that whole ass new genres is what's required to not be stagnant. That's just music (the only thing he talks about) don't even get me started on TV, film, videogames, internet content, visual art, fashion, technology, comics, and comedy. It is true that capitalism tends to incentivize the largest players to take the least risk
>>5520852Grannies don't usually understand death of the artist, but they're not usually into that "hyper masculine macho" stuff anyways so it doesn't matter. I think very few grannies listen to LB or Slipknot

>>5518484Most of the video is static, just use VP9 2-pass with auto-alt-ref 6 and lag-in-frames 25 to enable multilayer alternate reference frames.This improves compression by only encoding the differences between frames.https://cloudinary.com/glossary/b-frameshttp://blog.webmproject.org/2010/05/inside-webm-technology-vp8-alternate.html.https://www.reddit.com/r/AV1/comments/k7colv/encoder_tuning_part_1_tuning_libvpxvp9_be_more/
>>5522508Thanks, I tried those settings. I dunno what I'm doing wrong but I can't get anything like your file size. Quality did improve, but the file size rose too, albeit not as correspondingly high.
There's that website that you can watch shit from different decades. They have one for nearly every decade, it's kinda cool. Forgot the name, though.
>>5522720My 2000's TV? Have it bookmarked.
>>5522764That's the one. There was that youtuber that also made his own kinda like that where it randomly plays different types of videos on different tv channels.
>>5522720>>5522764If your somewhat tech savvy, you can create a similar channel in on your smart TV. This past Christmas season I had all 2000s holiday TV shows and commercials running on a file server hosted on my PC. Just need to get the app on your TV and it plays whatever you upload to it on shuffle.
>>5522663The filesize is determined by the bitrate of the video & audio tracks. You can set it to whatever you want to achieve the desired compression.It's like a highschool math problem: if a car travels at 60MPH for 10 hours, how far does it go? 600 miles.Similarly, if a WEBM plays audio & video at a combined bitrate of 1000 kilobits per second for 8 seconds, how large will the resulting file be?The answer is 8000 kilobits, which is 8 megabits and 1 megabyte./wsg/'s maximum filesize is 6 megabytes, which is 48,000 kilobits of total data.(Technically 6 mebibytes and 50,331 kilobits, but don't worry about that for now.)So, you can always ensure your encodes will fit under the file size limit with the highest possible quality, you define the bitrate as the average number of kilobits used to encode each second of video + audio.This is accomplished by dividing those 48,000 total kilobits by the length of your video in seconds.For example, to make a 2 minute video fit into 6MB, you divide 48,000 by 120 seconds to get a maximum 400 kilobits of bitrate.Then from that you subtract the desired bitrate for your audio track, usually anywhere from 64kb to 128kb, and allocate the rest to video. e.g. 400 - 128 = 272kUsing FFmpeg from the command line you would enter:-c:a libopus -b:a 128k -c:v libvpx-vp9 -b:a 272kTo refer back to the earlier example, it's like setting the average speed of your car before heading out on a trip. You know beforehand that you want to drive no more than 600 miles, and you want to travel for exactly 10 hours, so you use those numbers to work out what your average speed should be over the course of the whole trip.Maybe half will be at 40MPH and the other half at 80MPH, but as long as you average 60MPH you won't go over the limit.To shrink your 187 second video, I set the video bitrate to 23kbps and the audio to 32k, giving 534kB + 817 kB = ~1.4MBBut I generally prefer not to sacrifice quality for compression when posting music.
>>5518432The change in the Pepsi logo seems to indicate that we're moving past flat design. Strangely enough, a major change in the Pepsi logo seems to be an indicator of an oncoming change in design trends.
>>5523119Don't forget the Hot Cheetos design as well, not sure about you goys but I for one think the new logos seem to be going back to a more 2000s look but a little more action packed so to speak if you know what I mean.
>>5497913This. I'll mention Agora Road as well. It's not specifically designed to invoke those feelings but it definitely has the vibe of an older forum.
>>5523117I appreciate the help. It's not going as well as I want but I was able to get file size significantly lower than it originally was with little appreciable difference.

>>5490936Here is the thing guys, aero wasn't POPULAR in the 2000's, it was just the default look in Windows Vista and some tech companies (specially cellphones) joined the trend.The users around that time customized their OS appearance AWAY from the aero look. The Windows XP modding community was really strong in the old DeviantArt and it was really rare to see any kind of popularity when it comes to people embracing what is being called "frutiger aero" nowadays.The so called Aero aesthetic is heavily dependent on those wallpapers that NOBODY liked around that era, people were looking for "cool" anime, space (or darker colors) and clean solid colors wallpapers.There was no "WE EMBRACE LE FRUTIGOR AERO GUISE" in the 2000s.People came up with that thing post-pandemic thanks to their nostalgia goggles.
>>5528917Give it up. You're talking to people that weren't even born when XP was a thing. It's kind of like vaporwave, an aesthetic invented very recently that is based on an 80s/90s style. Zoomers/Alphas just like it because of memes that depict it as comfy.As an aside, I had some dope XP skins that looked nothing like the default. Also never heard of "frutiger" and the only "aero" I know is the Windows Aero desktop introduced in Vista, which just meant that the bar supported transparency. As far as I'm concerned the term "frutiger aero aethetic" is something someone made the fuck up like a year ago.

How much of you experience this era?
>>5530355I lived through it, it was my childhood and teenage years, but just like >>5528917 said, most people didn't care, it was just the times we were living in, nobody liked the default walllpapers and we'd replace them with whatever we thought looked "cool", when flat design came around everyone it was a massive improvement, I still have an old acer laptop from like 2009 that has either vista or windows 7 sitting in my closet.
>>5528917>>5529083I'm the OP of this thread and was born in the early 90s. Honestly I think the name "Frutiger Aero" is pretty retarded and not catchy at all - likely coined by some zoomer trying to claim an aesthetic that they only remember from using mommys computer. That said, the aesthetic was pretty popular in mass media as the world transitioned to a digital electronic life. That's why I miss it. It was like Y2K but glossier and more eco-centric. Just as the world was starting to understand and trust technology more, it was presented to us in a unique way. It's definitely a millennial aesthetic and made it's way onto phones, computers, commercials, and sometimes music and videos. >>5504862>>5511683>>5528247>>5530355Autistic bot
