it's the natural conclusion of 90s aesthetic fetishism created by those who were too young to actually experience it in a practical sense the first time around and so hold it in some bizarre reverence.

Here's a screenshot I took on an emulator. Why things like these are so charming to me I cannot explain.

Glamourising the past is not new or exclusive to the current generation. I think there has been a real lack of any genuinely forward facing cultural movements that have made a real impact in the last decade though, it's probably related to the internet and just how connected and accesible information is as well as how a generation raised on social media expresses themselves, something as reactionary as punk, for example, could not come about today, at least not in anything like the same way it did. The internet has ruined that.

You mean like the people here who proclaim classic theme is the peak of UI design and like their laptops to look like they're from the 90s.

So what? That doesn't mean it's a more usable design.
>>
>>57551866
Yes it does.
>>
>>57551363
Sounds about right. Personally, having lived through 90s computing, I'd rather leave those UI aesthetics in the past. The world moved on from them in the first place for a reason.
>>
>>57551883
You fit even more if you set all the fonts to be tiny, but that doesn't make it more usable.

No it doesn't. There are times when high information density is appropriate and times when it's not, but increasing information density will not make a bad design good. It's about showing the important information prominently and making things large enough to see/read and and hit easily with the cursor.
I could make a file browser where every file was shown as a 70X70 pixel box with a tiny thumbnail and a file name and their is no space between boxes, but that would be horrible to use. The information density would be crazy high and I wouldn't have to do as much scrolling, but finding what I'm looking for and being able to click on in accurately would take much longer. There are definitely cases where low information density has gone way too far (Metro apps on W8), but running too far in the other direction isn't going to fix it either.

>>57551363
My thoughts exactly, albeit part of it weirdly appeals to me, it's not completely missing the point of the 90s, but it still does.

But then it's also missing part of the 70s/80s aesthetic that was still quite prevalent at the time, because it was a smooth transition.

This picture posted in another thread perfectly expresses what A E S T H E T I S M is missing: >>57551943
