Strange, just for the last few days, I've been thinking just what a big cultural turning point 2005 seemed to be. From then on, everything started to circle the drain, and I put the blame on globalization and the advent of large-scale social media. Which might have left an imprint on product design and fashion.
And, as I wrote earlier in a different thread, the shift from 1994 to 1995 was the biggest one I've witnessed, and it was very visible in public spaces. Audible as well: It went from Metallica and ZZ Top as supermarket background music (imagine this!) to "Easy Listening" or whatever.
I like flat hardware (the ps5 shouldnt be there tho). You can stack stuff over flat hardware, they're not akward to place, can be easily stored, easier to design, easier to machine, etc...
Now flat software is fucking mediocre and should be abolished,
