Well you probably should have up voted me but it's my fault for being unclear about my opinion while trying to be funny. I don't think that this aesthetic is stupid or anything, it's only that what's represented in this article is the same kind of content you would see when tumblr had almost just been created. People were very attracted to these aesthetics, some focusing more on the uncanny aspects while others presented a more quaint and nostalgic picture. It gave rise to a whole plethora of visual and even musical sub-genres. People developed sometime very fine and subtle aesthetics. Reading this article makes me feel the same way an average HN'er would feel reading a 2015 article praising the merits of that new paradigm shift called Object Oriented Programming. You would expect at least one or two sarcastic comments. Even *ing Rihanna 'borrowed' the style 3 years ago [1]. And we're talking about the most mainstream US singer since Michael Jackson. Still I know techies aren't exactly the most art-voracious demographic so maybe I'll try to dig up some google stats to prove my point.
