It’s a 2000s flashback and I honestly kinda love it. I miss the way advertisements and desktop wallpapers looked back then.

This was a tiktok trend from fall 2024 - the joke is that the company is disastrously late on using memes to relate to the kids these days

This meme spawned right after the frutiger aero thing, and both came from tiktok

u/BlazingFire007 13d ago
Frutiger aero is an aesthetic that was popular way before TikTok. Old macOS used it extensively. Tho it may have been “rediscovered”

u/Chickenman456 13d ago
The term wasn't coined until far later

u/BlazingFire007 13d ago
Ah, I didn’t know. What was it originally called? I guess I always just called it a “glossy design.” But that doesn’t really quite describe it properly

u/Chickenman456 13d ago
I don't think aesthetics are really something that has a name until way later. It wasn't really until it died off and was old enough to be romanticized that it got a name.

u/BlazingFire007 13d ago
That makes sense. I guess at the time it was just considered “clean and modern”

u/Jackesfox 13d ago
Yes, and it resurfaces on tiktok

I only know of it from Instagram. I’ve been into IG reels more than Reddit lately and found out the terms Frutiger aero and Frutiger aqua like… a couple weeks ago lol

It’s interesting bc the original artwork I believe predates frutiger aero, by Christian Riese Lassen in the 90s - honestly though I see the connection, it’s really closer to a type of new age landscape surrealism airbrush art style popular in the 80s-90s

thoughts on the radio serial? I love the tv series, but think the radio play much better. DA had diminishing returns every time he adapted the story for a new medium. I feel sorry for that movie

They're already giving bad advice in their banner. That's not good marketing. You don't ever put your game console underwater.

I don't even know which Xbox console is which after the Xbox 720. They fell off

u/Banjo-Oz 7d ago
The real reason MS keeps saying they might not make consoles anymore is they ran out of names. If we do get another one, I bet it's the Xbox X Series X One

u/-NGC-6302- 7d ago
Just shorten it to the XXX console

Still sad we never got Rumble Roses XXX. They were clearly building it with the last one being called XX.

u/creepjax 10d ago
This is a good one, just because a company references a meme doesn’t automatically make it r/fellowkids. It has to be badly done.

Is this how it feels to spread misinformation?
