While it’s interesting to see renderings in past styles graphic design, ultimately it’s going to ring false. Even if it’s executed well it’s just a costume or pastiche, with no real connection to the style.

What made these historical design movements actually memorable was usually a set of newly-possible techniques joined with young people with a set of shared community values.

So if you want to make something that will read as authentically “2026” to future generations, you should make brainrot. :-)
