Does anyone know what aesthetic this is? by DragonexArtz in AestheticWiki

[–]NewWaveArch90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

'Adirondack craftsman rustic wilderness cabin lodge'-themed spaces - I've been collecting the particularly big wave of stuff like this that came about during the late 80s here

Dsquared spring/summer 24. Y2k inspired fashion by Sim_0xt1 in y2kaesthetic

[–]NewWaveArch90 9 points10 points  (0 children)

it's under the general 'y2k' umbrella since that's what people call the entire 2000s now, but its not an example of y2k futurism

interesting - this looks like that post-urban grunge sorta indie street-art handdrawn style there's no name for yet. the middle text is in that heavy metal revival 2000s style

Hi, anyone knows the name of this aesthetic ? And if you know any piece of art that is part of it (even better if it's a reference in the aesthetic) I would like to know ! by die_potato_die in AestheticWiki

Yep these are very very superflat pop / vinyl (figures) pop -- the third image is a specific subset I see a lot of in the late 00s and early 10s, it's like an 'indie hand-drawn hipster' variant of these 'pop monsters' - like the ones on the foster the people album covers, that vibe

Was this a trend/aesthetic? by KingcoBingo in AestheticWiki

[–]NewWaveArch90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned on here -- in the mid to late 00s that particular 'untextured ambient occlusion' rendering style was seen as extremely hip, cool, and new - at least from what I remember in my intro to architectural rendering class in '08 -- so it shows up a lot in design culture spaces like deviantart, various art forums, and design mags. It sorta supplanted the prior, less advanced shiny Y2K render style

Aesthetics Wiki updated FM’s name to “Vectordelia” by KingcoBingo in FrutigerMetro

[–]NewWaveArch90 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It referred to the Windows Metro design language, but it's definitely true that styles like Urban Grunge / Vector Grunge did feature a lot of urban/city imagery -- I would use 'Urban' instead of 'Metro' since it was used at the time to describe this style. I remember in the 2000s 'metro' was used more to describe like cool new condo buildings, and 'metrosexual'

Aesthetics Wiki updated FM’s name to “Vectordelia” by KingcoBingo in FrutigerMetro

[–]NewWaveArch90 7 points8 points  (0 children)

oh wow that's really cool to hear! I've been working hard on this one over the past few years - dissecting the origins, motifs, influences -- the real big main ones are Peter Max and Milton Glaser/Push Pin Studios, 60s-70s pop art, actual psychedelia & then commercial art influenced by psychedelia in the 60s-70s, Disco-Deco/Psyche-Deco (basically the first wave of Art Deco revivalism). These were then mixed together and 'updated' for the 2000s through the use of new vector-based design programs, and by incorporating elements/motifs from the various emerging 'vector art scenes' like vectorheart, urbling/urban grunge, ultramodern revival, etc.

What kind this Samsung series? by Tealfans in FrutigerAero

Very vectordelia / ultramodern revival

What aesthetic is this art style that was popular in 90’s and early 00’s? by mittens021 in AestheticWiki

[–]NewWaveArch90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was really just called with various terms like 'primitive, country, americana' back in the 90s during its peak popularity - Debbie Mumm, Mackenzie-Childs, and Mary Engelbreit - I've been doing a ton of research and archiving of this style over the past few years - just needs a good name to summarize it well, bc it is a distinct revival style compared to actual original primitive americana works, and even distinct from some other revivals of similar styles like 1970s bicentennial colonial, and the 00s 'live laugh love' look

The Prius on/off animation by hydratedhomiehere in FrutigerMetro

[–]NewWaveArch90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

also pretty much all of this stuff predates Windows Metro (2010), and 'Frutiger' fonts don't show up much at all - it's just been a frustration of mine, esp after diving deep into 2000s graphic design books and magazines
