Frutiger Metro was what I associated with being a teenager when I was a preteen in the very early 2010's, because every 'teen' product had that kind of design in comparison to their minimalist 'adult' counterparts. I mean everyday products like dedorant and other hygiene produts, magazines, makeup, stationery and school supplies etc. etc. buying them when I was 11-12 made me feel like 'a cool teen'

This aesthetic just reminds me of the scene/emo aesthetic the most. It’s so violently early 2000s and late 90s and is an aesthetic that feels ageless almost. It just reminds me of Target in the clothing section during 2009. It’s so gritty but I know it sounds like Gym Class Heroes and Like a G6. Sounds like JROCK and early emo music.

It's weird seeing all these similar esthetics being mixed together in our current decade because, in my mind, they kind of happened separately or had some kind of progression. Mixing it all together is what makes it more nostalgic, like the greatest hits or something.

I am from India and I distinctly remember the rapid shift of notebook front cover design from wildlife and scenary to frutiger metro in 2005/2006. After that frutiger meteo dominated covers till 2010 and then minimal design took over. Seeing this video felt very nostalgic as I used to love those notebook covers.

My design career started in 2001 and you nailed it. But I can’t emphasize enough how this look moved from independent music artwork where it incubated, and jumped to what agencies wanted. Street art was very cool at the time

I think another good example of Frutiger Metro is Persona 4 Golden's opening, "Shadow World", as well as that game's whole UI design in general. Though that game might have come out a little after this aesthetic was popular.

I don't know how old you are, but you're probably not that much younger than I am (I was born in the late 90s, so somewhere between the last millenials and the first zoomers). I find it so fascinating that younger zoomers are now adopting and revitalizing certain aesthetics that I grew up with but never really thought twice about until recently. In the early 2010s, I remember there being a "90s" resurgence on the internet ("You know you're a 90s kid if you remember so and so", etc.) My friends and I talked about how 90s culture came a couple years late to our country or how we were born in the 90s so we still technically qualify as "90s kids" (we really didn't, we were way too young to remember being alive during the 90s), but we wanted to be part of this in-group so bad because it seemed cool and aesthetic. Now the real 90s kids are in their 30s with their own kids, and the phase of 2000s nostalgia itself has come and is slowly passing, only to be adopted by the slightly younger generation who barely lived through the 2000s but long for the neat things their older siblings grew up with. Such an interesting cycle but damn if it doesn't make me feel old.

Man I can't believe how quickly the internet jumped onto 90s nostalgia into early 00s. It's why I stop complaining about how present aesthetics are bad because what's cringe now is the next generation's nostalgia. We spent so much time romanticizing the past that we don't take the time to appreciate the good stuff from the present.

I was born in '96 so my childhood was Frutiger Aero and my teens were Frutiger Metro! Both bring me so much nostalgia :') I was a bit of a 'scene kid' especially in middle school and would have been much more so if my parents had let me XD how I dressed was a somewhat toned down scene look. Ive always wanted to go all out with it though, I just find it fun!

I was born in 92 so i got to experience this era. I didn't really think much that it was an aesthetic until the end when i got internet at home around 2006. It's weird because i didn't really think about it until recently and suddenly everyone started talking about it. Thank you for video. Love your other stuff too. Please keep it up 🙏🏻

joined youtube 18 years ago is crazy

It's pretty interesting to me that the broad Frutiger aesthetic is the retro-futurism of our time very much like the "atomic age" futurism of the 60's (a la the retro Fallout aesthetic). There's only a few other times in history where the predominant styling was so heavily influenced by what our view of a utopian future could look like.

This made me remember I used to make bad Frutiger Merto wallpapers on photoshop when I was in high school. Once I saw those vectors, it all came flooding back.

Its crazy how i was aware of these aesthetics back in the day and i really hated them i thought they were cheesy. I thought minimalism was the way to go. Now getting older and feeling nostalgic for those old styles. The resurgence is something i never thought I'd see

MIKA also dabbled a lot in frutiger metro. I recently watched the "Relax, take it easy!" video and it's literally just frutiger metro vibes all around

Thank god you made this. I've always just called this the 2008 aesthetic.

I noticed that a lot of athletic clothing brands like Nike and Adidas used to use the frutiger metro style in a lot of their clothing items. I have specific memories of some of my friends owning t-shirts with typical frutiger metro patterns. I also remember HP releasing a laptop called the HP artist edition with a frutiger metro case that was just quintessentially 2000s.

I LOVE THESE AESTHETICS THEYRE MY FAVORITES I LOVE 2000S STUFF

This aesthetic is underrated compared to others and I remember this one very distinctly making up a big part of my childhood, I've always been a massive fan of the style. the music videos to 'Cassius - 1999', 'Outlines - Just a Little Lovin', 'Mylo - Destroy Rock N Roll' and all the 2000's iPod commercials are great examples along with the classic KZread channel layout, who else remembers those days of early KZread and the custom background colours you could have? I had a black and neon green one inspired by the style. Good times.

this is the first frutiger metro video i watch mentioning (and showing!!) early vocaloid PVs!! 💕 "saihate" is peak frutiger metro :] other examples are "secret" (the one with luka) and "word's end dancehall". i have been listening to vocaloid since the early days lol

As someone who attended high school from 2004-2009, I can firmly vouch for this aesthetic. I had my own domo plushie and played little big planet too. I also miss the whole vibe of myspace a lot. I miss the level of control that users used to have over their profile pages back then. Looking back at old archived scene-kid myspace profiles is a real trip. I wish mine was still up so I could look at it. One thing I really remember about this aesthetic were the colors black, pink, white and yellow. Everything was purposely striking and disordered. Lots of paint brush textures and LOTS of stars. Stars symbols everywhere!!

Frutiger was so unique and now it is a bit nostalgic, probably one of the better videos. Edit: OMG my fan art has been showcased in this video too 😱😱😄

Man! Thank you so much for giving me a term to describe the feeling I get when playing little big planet!!! I’ve always loved that vibe but couldn’t ever describe it!

thanks for making this, i really enjoyed it! im the creator of the frutiger metro article on the aesthetics wiki and i never expected it to be such a catalyst for this huge revival of the aesthetic. its great to see.

I never knew these aesthetics had a name…but now I do. Personally, as a 2000s kid myself, I love the frutiger Metro/arrow aesthetic. It looks so sleek and cool, gosh we need to bring back the 2000s aesthetics. Now more minimalistic logos and aesthetics. Gimme some looks with character. Also I’ve played little big planet and I can confirm it has that aesthetic. Also…Translucent game consoles….BRING BACK TRANSLUCENT GAME CONSOLES!

Finally got around to watching this banger. Well done dude! Frutiger Aero and Metro was a heavy part of my childhood growing up and was used in many of the DS games I played at the time. I'm glad you included the "comeback" portion of the video! It gives a good send off of stuff to look forward to. I love Romance Planet especially

German music TV channel "Viva" had an absolutely insane aesthetic in their bumpers etc in the 2000s that featured this

It's also significant that grunge is directed to the grunge music style which was popular in the 90's. Millenials were teens in te 2000's and they were nostalgic about the 90's. Just as the Gen'Zers are nostalgic of the 2000's. Its a half-way kind of loop and piece by piece things get forgotten as decades truly become like 30 years in the past. Thanks for this documentation effords :)!!

I think you would really appreciate the style of Playstation Home, that is some peak Frutiger Metro. Growing up during the height of all of this, it was so cool to see and imagine what the world might be like, and of course, I was just a little too young. I feel that’s part of the magic of it though. Most of us were too young to have been as seriously invested in the time as the 16-20 yr olds at the time. It all just looked so magical through the eyes of someone younger, desperately wanting to be a part of a those communities that were really popular around the time, (scene, punk, etc…) it just feels like you were able to be more shamelessly you, the purest form of you, that there is. Turning your MySpace into an absolute eyesore, because it was unapologetically you. It just seems that the desire to be bombastic, and uncaring about what the world could think of you, you’re just happy to have a way to share your interests with the world!

As someone who is Emo and embraces a lot of aspects of scene culture and fashion, this was an awesome nostalgic trip to look back on the aesthetics of the era. Amazing vid as usual Jaden 💚

This aesthetic always reminds me of my older brother back in his last days hs and first days of college. I remember having all these memories with him, playing on his xbox, watching him wear his domo merch all the time, all those Frutiger metro prints on every shirt. The artwork of that era was so cool and weirdly very fascinating to me. A part of me is happy that I got to experience this small sub genre and era while it lasted, even if I was a kid. I still find it just as cool to think about my brother during those days, carefree and young. Thinking about it makes me nostalgic and happy :).

Man you just UNLOCKED some shit for me Jaden. I remember frutiger metro started becoming popular when I was in my early teens, around when one first starts choosing their own style. I grew up with aero and that was just kind of the default to me, once metro came around I remember really liking it and styling my desktop, phone, etc. around the aesthetic (particularly the grungy metro). Completely forgot about it til now, wow.

great video, made me very nostalgic for my early teenhood. i will say, its.jenny deserves way more than a casual mention! she's probably the main reason fruitiger metro is back in fashion lol pinkpantheress wouldn't have made that music video if it wasn't for her. I've seen her make these edits since quarantine

Because of you i discovered UB funkeys was that game i played as a kid I couldn’t remember the name for the past decade. Im in love with you. also, *Fight my monster* was an incredible game that no one remembers anymore, but it’s style was very frutiger metro!

This is such a random and niche video and feels so important all the sudden

Grungy metro is so nostalgic. I was first learning how to use photoshop in this era and the amount of paint splatter brushes and floral swirl vectors I had downloaded on my windows XP computer was insane but I needed to make some deep and artsy graphicz for my deviantart page like a fish needed water

I remember seeing both this and Aero when I was pretty young to even into the mid 2010s because my parents hold onto all old tech! Yes, LBP is very much metro, I play it and love it!

Wow, I didn't know what the name for that aesthetic was until now but that brings me back to when I was a teenager and picked up Photoshop for the first time (CS2) for a school project in which I had to make a t-shirt design. This was 100% the aesthetic I was going for back then with ''groovy vector circles'', flat colours, musical and pop culture elements as well as various horrid pre-made vector ornaments and it became my gateway into graphic design which I then studied in college for two years before I dropped out. ROMANCEPLANET also brought me back to this aesthetic recently, I was planning to comment about it until you mentioned it at the end of the video.

thanks for the vid omg, I grew up on this but never new the names, and i wanna add, how big clothing brands had frutiger metro shirts and cloths and i remember feeling like a fashion icon using them but now I look at them as tacky hahahah

this video gves me a sense of nostolgia somehow ive been looking for this aesthetic for a long time it just kinda comforts me im not sure why...

one example that sticks out in my mind when i think of this aesthetic is certain segments in the 2000s reboot of the electric company that aired on PBS kids. there would be particular parts of that show, especially animated, that REEK that aesthetic to me. i remember seeing the cover of lily allen's "alright, still" and being reminded of it. the depictions/visuals with heavy black and white vector designs always gave a distinctly 00s UK vibe to me.

this is the only collab i have ever been excited for
