I feel like the 2000's technology was all we ever really needed. It was advanced enough to still be innovative and amazing (internet, cell phones, DVD, T.V.), but not too advanced to control and dictate our lives. (Smart Phones, Social Media, Streaming Services, A.I.)
it felt futuristic, magical and most of all, hopeful
The Freedom of the Internet also played a big part. There were hundreds of Websites you visited and not just 10 big ones that rule the Internet now. The "Wild West of the Web" came to an end towards the end of the 00s, beginning of the 10s.
Instead of a future smelling like hand soap, we were given one that smelt like hand sanitiser! Great video Extramint
The future we were promised, but never got.
It all just felt so fresh and, well futuristic. Wonder if this kind of aesthetic will come back in the 2030s
Frutiger Aero being this month’s Algorithm Special is not what I expected
80's 90's 00s were such a good time to be alive as an artist no matter what it was, Fun and creative color schemes. Now it's all earthy tone, buisness/corporate/minimalistic designed. I miss when technology and social culture was fun.
God I miss the 2000s. What a time to be alive.
As someone who came of age in the 2000s, I can say that not only did it feel different, it felt better. Like your dreams for the future could come true and it would look as beautiful as the frutiger aero aesthetic.
I miss when buttons on screen were given depth and sheen to make them look like physical objects you could press.
Digital Aesthetics look so beautiful and fun. early 2000s digital themes, icons, shapes, colors were so bold and again "beautiful". Everything seems so blam and thin that there aren't any colors to explore if that made any sense. Am a 2000 baby and the concept of the future I thought everything was going to be beautiful and bold with color, but it just feels so bleak, modern, what happened to excitement.
Man I think about this all the time. I think a big problem with young people now is that they never got to see or experience optimism for that future we expected. The only future they know is the digital social media one and everything is placed through that filter. I got to see the world before everything was a fabrication. I got to experience optimism for real technological and social advancement and there were constant improvements to quality of life every year because everything you could buy improved quickly and got shinier every year. That was a really cool world to get to see before everyone was only thinking about what happened through their devices. There are so many thoughts and concepts that are like central to my being that people just 3 or 4 years younger than me just don't contain in their minds at all. Not like an insulting way, just a difference of experiences had. I've got a lot to say about the negative effects I see from people older than me as well. I don't know dude just thinking out loud. It's complicated and I just woke up haha.
I'm glad I kinda got to experience this style, it's way better that what we currently have
Eco futurism is so fucking beautiful of a concept.
I love the 2024 comeback of the 2000s!! this feels like one of the biggest changes of the 2020s, is that we now honour the 2000s way more, and that has made honestly a better world as of right now, we can bring back these fun vibes and recover from the times of covid and the wars, happy you and others are making these videos and for me I wanna incorporate these styles a bit into my work too.
Back then, computers were still fairly primitive, and yet the interfaces looked magical and futuristic Now we actually have futuristic magical computers in the form of AI and yet all the interfaces are grey and boring
I hate how 2000s felt more futuristic than modern times, in 2000s alnost everything had a beautiful futuristic frutiger aero design, and now everything devolved to a flat and souless corporate design!
Quick trivia: If you analyze the design and art from the early 1900s decade, they followed the SAME way of operation. You had futuristic things heavily inspired by natural lines. The world was changing in a very fast pacing, so it was directing people by the same standards as in the 2000s decade. We somehow had the first Eco-Futurism tries in there. Art Nouveau was literally the first Frutiger Aero.
