What kind of styles will our era be remembered for?

[Anonymous No.5160963]

>>5160960
Anime style since it's more influential and better than anything the west has draw in the last 20 years

[Anonymous No.5160985]

lmao what’s the message here? Faggots will try to fuck anyone that supports them? I feel like the artist is profaggot but surely one of the most common problems gays have is their straight male friends being concerned about this exact scenario

Not him but anime style is really influential in every regard. I am not saying everything is artistically made in the anime medium but as a whole it exceeds any other style that westerners came up within the last 30 years.

[Anonymous No.5160999]

>>5160989
Ok not actually a fujo, it's a guy who made some weird, hetalia-esque comics about his personifictions of US states? I get huge larping fakeboi vibes from that and the art style but then then Hetalia was also made by a straight man so who knows.
Most of the results are pronouns in bio people making fun of his comics.
They're ugly as hell regardless.

god this is so dramatic, I’ve seen plenty of modern movies I’ve enjoyed. Just because the quantity of shit tier has been ramped up to match the modern demands of quantity over quality content consoomers it doesn’t mean no good shit has been made. If you don’t like it don’t watch Netflix, fuck don’t even use 4chan because this format of content consumption is exactly what’s contributing to the problem. Constant new content->desensitisation->search for more->repeat. It’s basically an internet problem which is reflected in our culture

This is what he looks like so you can judge for yourself

[Anonymous No.5161967]

>>5160960
Actually none.
Why? Because there is no "era" anymore.
All eras had more or less artistic limitations which got categorized in "styles".
Really new and evolving since 30 years has been digital arts and the styles are more or less infinite: From extremely flat styles to some sort of new photorealism through painting and/or rendering.
Also new media like video games evolved and are taken more seriously than about 15 years ago and since then have been viewed as art.

But regarding video games: Every shitfag makes a 2 minute game with gamemaker with shitty drawings and then uses the "artistic" value as a marketing trick. No story, no gameplay, no aesthetics, must be art.
Perhaps this will define this era, if it ever ends.

[Anonymous No.5162000]

>>5161967
All good points. But if this is to be defined as an era, it will be because it ended. And the single way an era defined by lack of limits will end, will be thru the appearances of limits. Maybe a tyrannical power which will limit and define what art is, or calamities which will end our prosperity and bring artists on the verge of extinctions.

In those cases, our era will be defined by the art which will survive.

Anime is nice and all, but most of it its made on disposable data mediums. Hard drives can go bad in a few years, most of the comics and stuff would be gone in a few years. Most of the stuff which would survive would be statues. And how many statues of anime characters do we have laying around? Those plastic figurines? gone in a few years.

At most there would be a few which survived in good condition in some safes or something. But that will beg the question of how spread actually was.

Shadman is unironically one of the most notable artists of our time, and if the scene wasn’t as oversaturated as it is, he’d be in museums and galleries.

You'd think calling the west "too serious" or only having "dreamworks face" would happen before... how do you even blow an emotion out of proportion?
>and all the stories it tries to tell with it are garbage.
Surely this can't be right, the east is renowned for its filler highschool lesbian "rom"coms and the less said about isekai male self inserts the better.

I disagree. you could argue an end to this "era" with a revolutionary change in technology, much like the end of the "modern" era with the advancements of computers which led to the further entropy of fine-arts and new forms of mediums and "styles", which would in turn affect a change in culture and further emphasize that distinction historicall, and therefore "end of an era"

>>5160960
bit/pixel style (inb4 it's just expressionism)
low-poly style (inb4 it's just cubism/artdeco)
clean-corporate(anime+calarts) style (inb4 it's just pop-art)
meme (inb4 it's just 3rd wave Dada)
I recognize that none of it is new, but the philosophical lens that inform the digital space is entirely different, so there for produce a different art.

[Anonymous No.5162768]

>>5160963
You guys might laugh at this or think it's silly but this generation will go down in history as the "anime revolution". It's the most prevalent artstyle of our time, there's an entire culture surrounding it, and there's so much that can be done with it. Art history books will have pictures of anime girls in it in 50 years.

Of course there are some good movies once in a while but you cannot deny that the uttermost is trash with trash effects and trash art direction. Every fucking movie is a CGI fest, for fuck’s sake there’s barely anything real. That or woke shit. Again, yes there is one or two good movies per year but that’s it. Also fuck no I don’t use netflix.

[Anonymous No.5164246]

>>5160960
I think this era will be remembered more by the radical politics and self-indulgence rather than the art styles.
Remember how Adventure Time was the biggest thing for the first half of the decade but the thing everyone remembers is that it had lesbians? Same with Korra, nobody talks about anything other than the lesbian ending.
Steven Universe may be the cartoon that's most closely associated with this generation, but even then SU is mostly known for it's weird gender politics and the fact that it's creator is non-binary now.

[Anomynous No.5164579]

>>5160960
It depends on what era.

I think 2015 would be the cutoff of the 2000s era and what we are in now.
From about 2000 to 2015 was the era of renewed individual expression thanks to the internet, while mainstream media also got better for a while while trying to keep up. Animation went from fucked, to really good by the end of it (except 2d RIP).

From 2015 to now has been more of a transitional period. Society went from showing some cracks to going up in flames so quickly that most people can still barely figure out what happened.

The progressive ideals that used to make up the counter-culture have become mainstream. From 2015 to now, pop-culture media went from mindless escapism, to being more critical of reality and having some kind of point to make. I think we will see a shift in creator-driven independent media from cynical to just flat out escapism itself.
