As in the case of Death Grips in my earlier post.
âThe new paradigm is not to chase the internet for attention but to embrace itâs chaosâ
- Scott Green(check out his youtube page - itâs really cool)
âNewHive is a multimedia publishing platform. â
Lol.Ok. Maybe Iâm too old (23). But the newer generation of postmodern intellectuals are just plain weird new gen artists armed with gifs, html and what I believe would be an assortment of drugs and making the internet weird again.
The MTV rebranding also reflects the same attitude.
Fookin ell. Iâd been seeing symptoms of this post modern delirium for many years - itâs just now manifested into a commercial avatar - with websites and mainstream tv channels dedicated to the aesthetic (as well as random anonymous tumblrâs by 23 year olds).
Vaporwave is also similarly a âwhat-whyâd up aesthetic - primarily for music.
^Hereâs something I listened to a lot a few months ago.
These are in essence a revival of the awkward teenage years of the internet - the 90â˛s into the millenium. Iâm waiting a few years for when the 2010-2016 aesthetics of flat design are resurrected and mock design takes itâs place - as is the case with all visual practice. It is all cyclical.
BUT even in my dismissal of these genreâs - there is great admiration and appreciation as an artist. And as a designer I have this gut feeling that I should embrace this post internet chaos and not try to seek justification - as I should expect from my design in the future.
Whenâs the next resurrection?
I should probably go polish some iconâs and make them glossy for the future.
