because back then, everything was quite literally MORE COLORFUL!! just take a look at how fashion used to be in the 2000s-early 2010s and how it is now. clothes were more vibrant, they had so many funky patterns and designs!! same thing goes for tech. remember the sidekick? the motorola razr? the lg chocolate? the blackberry? remember how eyecatching and unique cellphones were back then? before every single phone had the exact same, boring glass slab look? remember frutiger aero? windows vista? windows 7? ios 6? and not just that, the home decor, the everyday products around us... everything felt more colorful!! minimalism has sucked the life and color out of everything. nowadays if u feel like shopping at the mall u're bound 2 find the same bland and overpriced clothes. u're lucky if u find something thats a different color other than black, white, grey or beige. want a new phone? hmm should i get the black one with a touchscreen and a camera, or the white one?
oh and dont even let me get started on social media... WHY DO ALL SOCIAL MEDIA APPS LOOK LIKE LITERAL CLONES OF EACHOTHER?? they all have the same corporate look, do pretty much the same stuff... individuality? never heard of her!
but yeah, my point is that this minimalism trend is to blame for how "bland" life has become... although i'll say that with the resurgence of the 2000s things r starting to shift a little bit. fashion is starting 2 become KINDA fun again although it still feels a bit washed out, pop is also slowly making a comeback... but we still have a very long way 2 go

BRO. I’ve been looking EVERYWHERE for like; high quality, brightly coloured + patterned clothes like from the 2000s, and it seems like no matter where I look, there’s no places selling that!! Also all the og brands that used to make these products have completely rebranded everything and there’s nothing similar :((
We gotta bring back the keypad phone cases + zebra stripe hoodies

frr!! I believe this is due to the y2k aesthetic coming back! But I wanted some subcultures to become more famous again. Like kawaii and gyaru, scene emo and emo are two super cool subcultures, but sometimes I miss the cute, girly things about kawaii and the whole teenage thing about gyaru :/

Verissimo, non per caso quando rivedo lo stile frugiter aero o altri tipo frugiter metro e ricordo quando da piccola pensavo che il futuro sarebbe stato colorato e vivace, invece, sembra spento.

This definitely is part of it, but did you know that scientifically, as we get older our eyes just don't see colors as brightly? Look it up, it's a fun rabbit hole to dive down.

I completely agree, and one of the earliest pioneers of the bland aesthetics was Apple!
They released sleek new phones in professional (sad and soulless) looking colors.
Then the rest of the tech industry kinda followed suit, and then unrelated fields like cars! Much like fashion back then, cars used to painted in a variety of bright colors and designs. But now, the freeways and streets are swarmed with boring car design with depressing-office grey, white, or black paint.

RIGHT like beige moms need to the stopped modern architects need to be stopped BORING INDIVUALS NEED TO BE STOPPED
and side note but not really, what is with people and the school fish mentality like why is it we? “what shoes are WE wearing this school year” “backpacks I better not see this year”
