Has a 2010s inspired aesthetic been invented yet? What are we waiting for if not?

The 10s had the worst fashion to date and vidya got worse with a few exceptions.
Best part was the internet culture up until around 2015-16. It was home.
>internet culture
Pretty much. Late 2000's were simplistic and very nostalgic to look at nowadays
However 10's were pretty chaotic as the internet itself. I think the internet culture peaked on here until politics were introduced in the later phase, like 2015-16 as you said.
Yes it seems like the internet for the most part was apolitical and didn't have a lot of ideology in general beyond a few spaces dedicated for that sort of shit. You kind of had to look for that sort of discussion if you wanted it. Post 2016 election is where you started to see the same bullshit mentioned everywhere you go; trump, USA, incels, dumb progressive crap, etc. People realized the potential social media has for pushing your views and went full steam ahead.
Everybody incorrectly states that 2016 and the US election for that year was the start of the internet becoming political. While it is true that this was the catalyst for the internet rapidly becoming more political. The start of the internet becoming political would have to be with the Occupy Wall St Protests in 2012; Rise of 3rd Wave Feminism in 2013, and Gamer Gate in 2014. All of those set the groundwork for people picking sides politically and becoming more involved in politics.
This. 2009 hit different for the internet. It felt like one big ol party that slowly started to push shit we didnt want is the best way to put it.
Ok, this is a list of things that were popular in the early 2010's let's see what they have in common and hiw we can relate them between each other:
>minecraft
>freaking mlp
>adventure time
>dubstep
>MLG videos
>early 2010s
Why was that such a good time compared to the late 2010s?
See
it was pretty much a refinement of the late 2000's internet culture until political discussion entered the scene of both internet and videogames
Because you were happy.
Because of the advent of smartphones
israelites had not tamed the internet back then to the extent that they have now
Let's not forget Skyrim, marvel movies, fomo normie tv shows that everyone talks about, the rise of and corpitization of social media giants, the birth of meme culture, the rise of e-celebs like PewDiePie, gay jokes, "going viral", Justin beiber (and hating him), Nickelback, occupy wall street
>the birth of meme culture
>2010's
is it summer already?
When was it then? Because in the late Y2K internet users repeated thing because they were funny. In the 2010's users repeated thing until they "became funny". And that's what I call meme culture.
Its always existed, since the dawn of civilization really.
But the earliest internet memes can be found on YTMND which was 2003.
>early 2010's
Early 2010's were somewhat like how the 80's didn't really end until fall of 1991 when Smells Like Teen Spirit came out. A lot of the fashion and culture was still stuff from the late 2000's, specifically hipster fashion. Then you had Occupy in 2011, and after that people started to pretend to care about a bunch of different bullshit, which caused a shift in the culture.
One of the reasons I'm now a wizard is because freshman year for me was when the whole fat acceptance movement started, so for the four years I spent in uni I was surrounded by hamplanets wearing shit that didn't fit them, which made me unmotivated to fix myself enough to get a GF. Sure, there were other reasons for my demise too and I can't just blame people being fat for my troubles, but it was a contributing factor.
>What are we waiting for
The 2010's are over so "we" can't do anything about it and I don't even know if the 2010's had an aesthetic. What did the 60's 70's 80's 90's and 2000's have? I guess the 80's aesthetic is synthwave and sythesizers and gluttony and I don't think there was ever a 70's aesthetic because it was such a depressing miserable time I guess any colour pattern that's not saturated and maybe rock n roll because that's when it was at its most popular
>midcraft
the game's ass and low quality yall only like it cause of nostalgia
That shit happened 5 seconds ago let some time pass nigga
minecrat
Given the composition of dubstep, the map generation of Minecraft, the structure in the scripts of Adventure Time and Regular Show episodes and the fact that a cartoon like MLP became popular. It's safe to say that "chaotic and colorful" is an appropriate definition for this aesthetic.
For now let's call it "Dubstepcore"
It feels like 6ix9ine had that kind of style
Yeah, it crossed my mind. However "trap" and "drip" and all of that shit I believe is better left behind
aaaa this song brings back memories. i tried searching for it a few years ago but couldnt find anything
Another concept that was popular back then, present in Adventure Time and Five Nights at Freddy's was the fact that things had a "hidden lore". However that's one of the things that needs to be polished through the dubstepcore because they were often poorly executed in the 2010's
(Pic related because Slenderman and creepypastas also were popular)
Geometry Dash is likely to be a dubstepcore game
>colorful
>chaotic
>base electronic music in the game with most famous mods being plain dubstep
>it was also an early entry on the modern "phone gaming" scene
Don't think I have to explain this one:
Good question, I think the Skrillex and Krewella logos would be good places to start
Almost half of that decade was Trumpcore.
yeah it's called frutiger aero
Wrong decade.
Fruity hairy.
Have you never heard of Y2K or Frutiger Aero?
Only recently, but 2006-2013 is a very arbitary timeframe, and I think only Minecraft would fit
my youtube recommended get bombarded with videos about frutiger aero as of recently for some reason kek
But do people really feel "nostalgic" for this kind of visual style? To me it's still feels like the "default", and it really was before that whole minimalism craze started in the early 2010s. We still use glassy/"aero" surfaces and seukomorphic design on low-end hardware (car navigation for example). Also grouping the early 2000s together with the early 2010s seems wrong since they vere both very distinct visually.
I don't get it too, but as you said it only gives "default background" and "demo music" vibes. At least dubstep, CoD videos and Minecraft tutorials are remimiscent the era they belonged to
then again you have to factor in age differences. Someone who is in his mid-teens right now has no actual memories from the period before material design took over so it might as well feel as dated as the 90s to someone who was born around 2000 or so.
>2010s
filthy frank
idubbbz
maxmoefoe
how to basic
pewdiepie
gamergate
altrightpipeline
literally us
I remember staying up at my friends house watching the new filthy Frank videos. we would have to wait until 12am whenever their internet would be unlimited and we would binge so many videos. Take me back!!
>Take me back!!
That's what dubstepcore is trying to achieve
>Has a 2010s inspired aesthetic been invented yet? What are we waiting for if not?
Christ this place is full of children. 2010 is not some year to be nostalgic for. It was fucking 13 years ago.
I'm sorry, I'm gonna leave the internet right now
Thanks. and dont come back until you're 30+. fucking kids ruined the internet
2010s aesthetic is literally just 80s
That sounds absolutely disgusting OP and I hope it never happens, I want the entirety of 2010-early 2020s to be buried in history
Late 2010s were garbage but early 2010s were kino
Pisscore heavily reminds me of early 2010s internet culture
yeah it's called ghetto smosh
