God Y2K was such a beautiful treat.
It's my personal retreat to a more beautiful and colorful time, when everything felt like science fiction, and it all felt so weirdly natural along with that, too. The almost skeletal feel of the electronics felt almost intimate.
I actually made a charater based on the aesthetic, but he needs cleaning up to more closely fitting to it.

Not necessarily an aesthetic but I thought I'd post it here.

On 90s and Y2k, nothing does that nostalgia for me like Locomotion and MTV bumpers. It was an animation channel in Latam, played a lot adult animation and anime. I had Locomotion and MTV on all day and night.
I also love Brian Froud and Alan Lee. Faeries (the book) was one of the first things i bought when i started working.

Quoting over here because it's off-topic for the original thread.
That said, it gives me an excuse to post a sculptor I like: Ellen Jewett
Not a fan, but I get the point you are making here.

I find liminal spaces pretty neat, liminal themed gmod maps are interesting and a good way to experience it imo! But I would never want to base my life aesthetic on it, and I suppose by definition, you cannot live in a liminal space, it's meant to be void of what makes a space inhabitable by a person.

I think if I ever change my household aesthetic from Goodwill Dumpster, I might go for whatever was going on in Rob Zombie's The Munsters 2022 movie. Good stuff there.

Seems to be a Photoshop collage taking inspiration from Soviet propaganda and retrofuturism.

Liberty and Art Déco do not get enough love in this world, they're such vibrant, whimsical styles, they fill me with so much joy

Hell, yeah.
So, Liberty is the Italian equivalent of Art Nouveau. If you walk around many Italian cities you may see these gems:
Casa Galimberti by Giovanni Battista Bossi (1903-05), Milan - Look at those ceramic tiles and those wrought-iron balconies and tell me you don't love them, too
Speaking of balconies, look at these. Again, we're in Milan, this is Casa Ferrario, by architect Ernesto Pirovano.
Let's go back to Bossi for another jaw-dropping building - Casa Guazzoni once again in Milan:
This beautiful fresco can be found at the Terme del Corallo in Livorno, Tuscany:
Are you in the market for a majestic cupboard? What about a chair? Carlo Bugatti has got you covered:

When it comes to Art Déco architecture I'm a simple woman - I love the classics we're all familiar with. The Chrysler building, the Empire State Building and the Secession Building in Vienna, just to name a few.
Going back to Art Nouveau. I swear I could stare at any Alphonse Mucha piece in eternity. Just a couple of my favourites:
I'll stop here otherwise I'll sperg for ever, but thank you for asking. It's nice to look at pretty things you love, it makes you remember that life isn't all doom and gloom.

This is probably kind of Bed, Bath, and Beyond of me but I don't care and Liberty talk reminded me of it - I'm a big fan of these turn of the century kind of liqueur ads.
This one's more like the 30's but the colors are wonderful.
This is a little after art nouveau I think, when it starts turning art deco. Nouveau is just a touch busy for my taste and late art deco is a little too minimalist, but there was a brief period where they merged and man imo it's rad as hell. JC Leyendecker is kind of in that milieu.

The home interior aesthetic of the 1970's was also underrated. The browns, soft yellows, oranges, and greens give rooms a nice warm and cozy feeling, in stark contrast to the whites, blacks, and greys that have dominated homes for the past 30 years. I especially like the color Harvest Gold that was popular on large appliances and cabinets back then.
Hypothetically, when does something go from being horribly "dated" to being a "timeless classic"?
