Let's forget AI. I propose abstract bio-hyper-realism ^^

This shows a misunderstanding of the word aesthetic. Shift it for zeitgeist if you want. I won't defend AI as an art form, especially with the recent issues regarding Miyazaki's work being diverted. But I think art and graphic design absorb elements from the visual environment of their times, be it corporate, ugly, technologic... AI can't be overlooked as it may have prompted an appeal for organic, textured, hyperrralistic patterns, it's just a possible cause, not the finality.

I think it's frutiger metro : Mostly, it combines flat, minimalist graphics with a maximalist design philosophy, typically catering to a pre-teen/teenage demographic. Frutiger Metro shares a lot of similarities with Frutiger Aero and other aesthetics of the time; unlike Frutiger Aero which has a large focus on detailed glossy 3D designs, Frutiger Metro is flat.

In the mid 2000s, this tween / teen aesthetic was all over the place, alluding to contemporary urban dynamism, with Punky collage and HipHop influence. It was even the default aesthetic of school supply.

It may share some similarities with Hipness Purgatory : a renewed appeal for crafty materials and handmade doodles (in opposition to corporate digital aesthetics). The video game SSX one tour (previously very Y2K) perfectly synthesize both aesthetic.

Oh I should have been more precise on that point, I doubt the posted pictures are AI generated or it was only used at some point in the process. They are actual album covers. My point is, the uncanny feeling that characterized early A.I had an impact on graphic design, with a organic, material-like aesthetic emerging. The focus is on this very style, not A.I generated pictures per se.

It's mostly music focused and I recommend you to look up for PunkRap

Thank you EllenQueen I haven't heard of Karasu Zoku before :) and indeed Techwear matches pretty well. I discovered Indie minimalism afterward which somehow fits too.
