- kgwxd 5y agohttps://neocities.org https://neocities.org is a fun one.
- fleaaaa 5y agoI agree with sentiment, it"s slightly sophiscated and good haha!
- marginalia_nu 5y agohttps://dreamcult.xyz/ https://dreamcult.xyz/ I like this one
- mherdeg 5y agousepath.com (YC S19) kinda has this feel too, I think I get it.
- jessriedel 5y agoPunk is explicitly unprofessional. > "The punk ethos is primarily made up of beliefs such as non-conformity, anti-authoritarianism, anti-corporatism, a do-it-yourself ethic, anti-consumerist, anti-corporate greed, direct action and not "selling out"." That punk is treated as a serious artistic subject does not conflict with that. There's lots of other unprofessional subjects and motifs in art spaces, e.g., nudity.
- bikeshaving 5y agoI hate to ask, but are you fun at parties?
- seanw444 5y agoThey have a point though.
- fleaaaa 5y agoThey maybe anti of many things but still have aesthetics..
- sydney6 5y ago> "The punk ethos is primarily made up of beliefs such as non-conformity, anti-authoritarianism, anti-corporatism, a do-it-yourself ethic, anti-consumerist, anti-corporate greed, direct action and not "selling out"." Substitute "Punk" for e.g. "Group" and read that sentence again.
- eikenberry 5y agoAnd?? With the substitution reads like someone describing a punk/anarchy group.
- not1ofU 5y agoI think he means something like this: (monty Python) https://youtu.be/KHbzSif78qQ?t=35 https://youtu.be/KHbzSif78qQ?t=35
- makach 5y agoprofessional unprofessional. we can surely agree to disagree. the web site is well made. nothing unprofessional about it.
- jessriedel 5y agoUnprofessional is not a synonym for bad. It does not mean poorly made.
- tshaddox 5y ago"Unprofessional" only makes sense in the context of some particular profession. Many English dictionary definitions even explicitly mention something like "the expectations of a particular profession." I'm pretty sure there still are professional standards for doing graphic design work for a punk art organization. And you wouldn’t say that a plumber is coveralls is dressing unprofessionally. The word “unprofessional” doesn’t just mean “anything that’s different than a stock photo of a banker.”
- jessriedel 5y agoIn this case, the context is software development, and we are discussing advertising/marketing/landing material on the sales website. The OP website dramatically departs from the expectations of this profession. The OP is not selling art.
- makach 5y agoDid I state it was bad? or did I imply it was poorly made? I think it is a very well thought out, and well implemented website. Professionality and quality used in same context is mutually exclusive.
- jessriedel 5y agoYou've misunderstood me. I'm saying your previous comment implied that someone else must think the website is poorly made when they call it unprofessional.
- anm89 5y ago> Punk is explicitly unprofessional. punk is dead, It's just another cheap product for the consumer's head. Bubblegum rock on plastic transistors, Schoolboy sedition backed by big time promoters. Cbs promoted the clash, But it ain't for revolution, it's just for cash. Punk became a fashion just like hippy used to be And it ain't got a thing to do with you or me. - Crass Anything is professional these days as long as you can sell things with it.
- asow92 5y agoReminds me of a quote from Bill Murray's character in The French Dispatch: "Just Try To Make It Sound Like You Wrote It That Way On Purpose."
- csnover 5y agoQuite a few examples of this aesthetic can be found on Brutalist Websites[0]. (Be forewarned, the Brutalist Websites site itself is brutal in a different way: it tries to load hundreds of high-res screenshots all at once.)

- allenu 5y agoThis aesthetic brings back memories. I remember it was a look about 10 years ago with blogs like Hipster Runoff using it.

- amelius 5y agoAppealing to a small minority that is not your target group. Hence unprofessional.
- Archelaos 5y agoBrutalist? What does it have to do with concrete?
