aesthetics, designs, vibes, themes, etc

Bright things. I like bright things. Previous century had a lot of bright things.

I'm just tired of these modest and dull colors that are popular since 2000. Especially blacks and greys. It's like Y2K happened and destroyed color.
Back in the days there was Memphis Group designs, High Impact Mopar colors, mod tops, pro street tuning style and just art in general tended to be colorful.
Why do we have to live in this age where all art has to be "realistic" and reality itself is mostly grey and black? What the hell has happened?
I want my colors back.

Lumeinshin he says, running a mostly flat website

noooo, I mean modern Flat(TM) design of websites that sell some products or services. Just "flat" style isn't bad, especially from Web 1.0. lol!
your site is cozy and cool! :3

Sage How did you come across them?

mostly I just search on neocities.org or nekoweb.org.
Then I lurk through those personal sites and check their collections of links!
It's like searching for cool rocks : D

Sage no idea people still made personal websites.

yeah, they do! it's just not popular at the more uhhh wide-web. you may check "indie-web" or "small web", it is part of ideology, not only style.

Sage It's a much, much more interesting way to use the internet in my opinion,

agree!

Lumeinshin bit of a mix

I'm not sure if this is it, but maybe you're about "Neumorphism"? article about it. I kinda like it too... it looks futuristic and soft???

Interesting. I'll definitely go through and poke around, see if I can find any active websites to follow. Honestly, the more exposure things like this get, the better. Anything to preserve old "culture" of the internet is a net win in my books. It sorely needs to come back, or evolve into things more similar to it than what we're stuck with now.

Vesti Very nice, never knew the name of this aesthetic, but I too thoroughly enjoy it. Thanks for showing it.

kuolluijen huamut Do you have any aesthetics you love? Why? How did you find them?

Im a fan of that fancy wood paneling you see in shows or irl. would be fancy to have an office with that kind of paneling. something like pic rel feels very comfy for an office-type of room. I think it would be a bit dark if the entire house was like that all around.

Metalheart (I'm pretty sure that's the name, feel free to correct me.)
It's something nostalgic for me since I have always been surrounded by that aesthetic, from albums, art, books, flyers, etc...
I don't have much more to say on it, other than I just generally enjoy the look/texture of the art and it's rather calming.

Apologies if there are too many images but, I feel these are varied enough to show the difference in style for this aesthetic.

large fields in mid 2000's games
there's something so appealing about these areas, maybe the vast size or bloomed skyboxes.
i imagine they probably smell like the hardwood boards of my childhood house and sound like an overheating console

Ah, there's an artist that makes these kinds of landscapes. Unfortunately, they're not actual 3D environments that can be explored, just AI-generated art, but they're pretty enough nonetheless. It would be nice to have a revival of this aesthetic.

kuolluijen huamut I adore Frutiger Aero, it makes me feel like I'm in a slightly ramshackle but ultimately optimistic ride to the future. Flat design tries to hard to be the future instead of looking forward to it, that's why it doesn't work as well, IMO.

the, sometimes unintentionally, brooding atmosphere anime of the 2000's had is unmatched.

LOWnHA Got any examples?

LOWnHA nice list. I think Kino no Tabi and Haibane Renmei fit the vibe as well
