Off topic to the AI, let's talk about websites for a moment. Lately everyone has been using the same "glitch design". Bright yellow on pink, some out of place eye. Stripe uses this but not as much as other sites. I don't know what it's called, I just call it corporate contemporary and I think it's inspired by TikTok.
3 years ago, there was that 3D look. No idea where it came from, but the first time I saw it was from Revolut.
About 10 years ago, we had emojis sprinkled everywhere. Replacing icons, prefixing email titles, being used at bullet points.
Before that, we had vector flat art, which was reflecting responsive design. Sometime after this was the trend of putting videos in the sign up page of an app.
When I was a teenager, websites were all "microsoft blue".
90s design, no longer web, were colorful and had handwriting font. While 80s had a lot of stripes and 3D text.
There's definitely something trendy and edgy about these websites but not too edgy. They're always seasonal. I mean we still see flat design but we almost never anything like Windows Vista and their Aero design. Windows 98 had a certain charm.
- mlsu 2y agoAh, this is a great topic on its own. The other layer of website same-ification is the technology choices people make. By and large, React Apps with Tailwind look, behave, feel, "samey" no matter how many tweaks one makes to the stylesheet. Just like how you can immediately hear the sound of FM radio regardless of which station, you can immediately smell "modern tech stack." Its blandness oozes out between the cracks. Old-school early 00s web applications were basically all bespoke and felt VASTLY different from one another for that reason.
