I just watched said video bc I was curious, and I do think some of the things being said are a bit biased. The reason I think this is because they claim it was never really a thing, but they didn’t even grow up around the time it was popular (also either way, that’s kind of the whole point of the aesthetic.) FA is supposed to be about “the future that never existed” and how life was seen through the eyes of a child during the boom of technology, even if it wasn’t really how things were
One thing that I kind of agree with though is that a lot of aesthetics on this wiki are pretty convoluted and even redundant at times, but then again, that’s the reason why they’re labeled as sub-genres rather than just stand-alone aesthetics.
Also, the issue with removing all aesthetics formed after the 2000s is that 85% of all aesthetics hadn’t been coined until the past 15 years, even if the aesthetic itself is centuries old (for example, the visuals for Cottagecore have existed for centuries, but the name itself wasn’t coined until around 2020 or so)
