It's funny- people once made fun of this style of music back then, 'cause it was seen as "nerdy" or weird music lmao. As a late millennial, It's crazy cool seeing Gen Z really bring this genre back to the surface, embracing the culture too. If you guys were older back then, maybe we would have had the Y2K Frutiger Aero society we so desperately craved.
@@LL-gx3yj I honestly hope it gets more popular, it's incredibly underrated and I'm nearly certain that at least 95% of the kids at my school don't even know the style.
Right, but I remember people associating this music with the "nerds", or "weirdos" back here in the US- at least during my experiences. (Anything that was associated with anime or ambient music was made fun of). The 2000s were not kind to this genre as they are now haha. I assume that in the next 10 years, gen alphas and gen betas are gonna see the 2020s as nostalgic cool times lmao@@SleeprunnerInc
This really takes me back to the late 90s. Small kids in those times like me feel that with those music and those Y2K aesthetics we were on the cusp of "future". Now, almost 30 years later, we are still waiting for that future...
Kinda rare to find an actual confirmed adult here. if you say you're over 20 and your account was made after 2018 I doubt that shit so hard lmao. ESPECIALLY on these types of vids for some reason zoomers think its cool to be a sad adult looking for nostalgia lmao. not saying you are but I am for sure lmao.
@@DONKEYKONG260 Oh, no. I'm also from the early 90s. TBH, it's more like I miss the kind of vibe this music had and that kind of naive but endearing visions of some sci-fi 2000s that were rampant at the time. Still, I like where my life is now and how it's headed forward. It's far from being the futuristic utopia I imagined back then but it's still reasonably good.
finally an ACTUAL y2k frutiger aero playlist. holy shit. all the other ones are, not only just vaporwave (which is more 90s), but copycats of each other. I appreciate you for making this one, it truly captures every flavor, emotion, sound of y2k. I love it.
thank you so much! i always try to make it as accurate as it can get yk using a lot of 2000s playlstation, wii, windows, older video game soundtrack elements. It's even easier when u grew up with it lmaooo
Blank Banshee is literally classic vaporwave (technically vaportrap, but still) Like, its fine tbh. A lot of these niche subgenres start to bleed together after a certain point, and Blank Banshee at least fits this Y2K aesthetic pretty well.
i was going to say that to be fair there is overlap and vaporwave isnt restricted to just 90s era but at same time i feel the same way when people include synthwave/outrun aesthetics and music as a subset of vaporwave and that's a whole different aesthetic. it's nice to see people are legitimately trying to make and expand frutiger aero into a legitimate new genre and aesthetic and not just "win aero desktop theme throwaway fandom"
Whelp, you’ve done it. You’ve created a playlist so good, with just the right visual, that it now became one of my favorite playlists ever (and considering only 2 or 3 over the course of years hit that perfect note in my mind, that’s a rare accomplishment) THANK YOOU I’ll be listening to this for years to come I’m sure
@starmaster191 one of the best, if not the best, speedruns were and still are unbelievable, the movement, the emmersion felt so good, you actually felt the steel pipes, the rough edges of the roofs, the wind from the speed. running felt so free, you actually felt free.
The Mirror’s Edge music is a great touch because that game’s art direction is very much inspired by the “corporate clean” aesthetic reflected in advertising in the late 90s and early 00s
This is truly frutiger aero. I get such heavy tones from Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst just with the first few minutes of this which is something I haven't felt since I was a kid. I can feel the clear shell dreamcast booting up, it's the perfect weather outside so I crack a window, this is just vibes man.
Gen Z here. I recently learned about Y2K and it's something I'm honestly interested in and knowing it has had a MASSIVE impact in Pop Culture, Fashion, Music, Video Games, And Even Buildings makes this a really interesting Aesthetic and slice of American culture.
I'm also gen z, but I was born in 2000 (yes, the exact year). I actually did live in it. Sure may not be the one the big kids use to use and played on. but I did live in this stuff, and dreamed to be like the older kids some day
i love this playlist so much every song just works so well with one another like this is actually my dream fantastical world that I will never be able to experience
finally finding the source song material for noluhn's "ⓘ" video in this mix was interesting to randomly stumble upon (for those who are curious, its plasma lounge by general translator at 10:55)
i haven't commented on a youtube vid in over ten years. as a millennial, i've just felt vaguely disconnected from culture in that time. this playlist made me realize i had no idea how good we had it back then artistically and creatively. i was still too young, and too delusionally in love with everything that brought me joy, to understand that i was just living in an ephemeral cultural moment. i miss it so hard, but seeing people born after y2k appreciating the best of the 00s zeitgeist despite not living through it makes me tear up. maybe through our collective hallucination, we can make it a reality forever...
It wasn't just musically. 90s and early 2000s kids and teens were like 90% postracial/egalitarian in America and everywhere in the west that followed American trends. Then muh femisims/pronounce/gendershit/privileg/opresshun/transgenderisms happened (or rather, bad actors started to covertly push them into mainstream culture) and younger millenials and zoomers lapped it all up. Younger gens shape the status quo in the western world. And the younger gens sure do love their racial tensions and forced diversity and civil unrest, so it's no wonder normal 90s kids are still waiting for the frutiger future. Still, it'll arrive soon enough. The tides are already beyond starting to turn and it's going to be awesome.
I am a 90's kid, born 1999. This takes me back to being kid all over again! I literally went and plugged my PS2 into my tv to experience the nostalgia all over again. I just can't find my memory card 😅🤣 But! my PS2 works! Thanks for this video yo.
Frutiger Aero will make its big emergence once this generation gets into its 30s and 40s. Millennials brought back the 90s... Everything comes back. Keep the dream alive!
Mirror's Edge, the only EA game that is absolutely fresh and original, imo. I do know that lots of their old games are great like the NFS games, but none ever hit new as ME was.
the one responsible for composing Mirror's Edge was TRULY inspired by Almighty. It's timeless, inspiring and lifts you up like balloon. That track is played in so many playlists like this!
I always loved this stuff when I was was younger (I’m 17) I grew up on a lot of old games so it’s cool seeing a resurgence of this stuff 🫶 this music has always made me feel like an alien or something 😂
