What did happen in 2014 for the soul to completely evaporate from design?

I'm pretty sure 95 and 98 are Memphis since people romanticize it with vaporwave. But if not, then essentially Y2K>Frutiger>Memphis>Flat

We're entering a pretty cool era of flat design mixed with Y2K and Aero sensibilities, especially with things like Liquid Glass, and blur in general being more used, it's the best of both worlds and I'm happy to see it.

What the fuck happened
The older designs were colorful and fun and now everything feels corporate and depressing

what pisses me off about flat design is how slow apps are despite the flat design implying they're efficient

Everyone had access to a smart phone, Apple did some downsizing and fired everyone involved with graphic design and Microsoft was desperate to get into smart phones and tablets too. It was both a cost cutting measure and a move in the phonefag space. Once the dust settled the damage was irreversible. Flat design is a true match made in hell.

LG is utter crap. Good luck with such design on direct sun or any non-office environment.

If you want to know how good UI really looks like, seek for control panels/software to real stuff like power plants or tunnels not to FB machines.
