Right?! I mean, ffs, we could’ve at least received the LED-backed Neo-Brutalism, but we’re still at glass and steel (and cardboard for residentials, of course - I sure do wonder how planned obsolescence will fit into this aspect as well, we all know it inevitably will…).
The closest thing we got is literally the Cybertruck, and I would not want aliens knowing that my species had that idea at one point in our development. It’s like someone who doesn’t understand cyberpunk at a fundamental level took too much ketamine and tried their hand at doing a cyberpunk.
I’ll not even hope for Brutalist robots, as Apple have infected us with a bastardisation of the Dieter Rams smoothness, they’ll probably look like action figures.
At least the music’s going in interesting directions. It truly has a life of its own, growing like a glorious aural dandelion through the concrete slabs of corporate skullduggery. This Post-Modern sharp turn toward synthesis is doing wonders with reinterpreting tried and tested elements! Well, if one chooses to explore a bit, that is, as the mainstream is mostly Boardroom Pop as always.
P.S.: probably a bit unfair toward other EV manufacturers as some have started taking some risks design-wise. But if vertically oversized grilles become a mainstay, I feel confident in declaring that trend a crime against the philosophical concept of Aesthetics.
It’s bullshit that we got the dystopia without the cyberpunk asthetic.
