Why are people so pretentious when talking about frutiger aero?
I really enjoy the frutiger aero aesthetic, but in some of the videos and discussions related to frutiger aero I've seen, there's a lot of people reusing the same buzzwords to talk about it or they use the same pretentious talking points. Like, for example, the whole "this is the future they promised us. they lied" thing. I feel like that's a bit negative and makes it out to be this rebellious art movement about taking back a promised future when, in reality, it's just a pleasing design aesthetic from the past that people remember and enjoy. Words like "nostalgia" and "liminal" are used very frequently to the point where I roll my eyes when I hear them and they don't feel like they mean the same thing as they once did. It feels like the pretentiousness of vaporwave but unironic. Has anyone else noticed this?
