![]() ![]() The 90s and 00s are quite distinct in their aesthetic, as defined by trends in fashion, music, media and product design and what was successful. I like to think that the early 2010s is it's own separate aesthetic from the rest of the era, mostly for some favorable nostalgia, but there are still some aesthetics like weirdcore or vaporwave that have rose in 2010s, though not mainstream enough to help label the era. As a result, there has been many attempts to give a future look with the overuse of minimalism and genericism. The problem was that the future was too ahead of it's time to be replicated in reality. A lot of past media and fiction would depict the early or late 10s as like living in the future. Pretty much what JukeInTheBox said, but I think the reason the decade was meant to be futuristic, which can explain the corporate minimalist look or bloc art aesthetic that is mocked. Pretty much too modern to the point of being dull. The rise of social media is also a major factor to which an alternative era name would be the "Social Media" era.īeing more direct in terms of aesthetics, the 2010s were bland. I think the term for 2010s would be the "New Media" era, since the internet and other online culture from the 00s had grown to become mainstream enough to overtake old media, such as television and print media. I think I have an accurate description for a "2010s aesthetic". What will people latch onto and think of whenever the 2010's are mentioned? Maybe memes will be a major part of the 2010 Aesthetic? They were definitely thrust into the mainstream repeatedly throughout the decade. So really, we'll just have to wait and see. ![]() ![]() Maybe people will look back on the movies we've been calling bland and remember them fondly through rose-tinted-nostalgia-glasses? Maybe in 20 years people will be making 'retro' 2010's-themed games that are just normal games without RTX or any other graphical innovations made after 2019. The VHS distortion isn't really that bad (unless the tape's gone bad/is a copy of a copy of a copy) and there are some really decent-looking games from the 90's, but usually when people now depict these time periods, they exaggerate these kinds of details because it's what different from today's technology and thus the first thing you're likely to think of. The 80's is represented through crazy hair and very exaggerated VHS noise effects, the 90's is often represented with exaggeratedly polygonal 3D graphics. I can't really think of much, but I'm going to guess that we're not going to get a decent answer until both it wanes from people's memory some and technology progresses a notable degree because in my experience, "Decade Aesthetics" tend to be an amalgam of stereotypes about that time period's culture and technology. Blocky, Cubical, but somewhat Bland and Sterile buildings? ![]()
