Sites nowadays feel bland and cheap, with no fun aesthetic or idea. It's just always "LETS MAKE THIS SITE LOOK LIKE A CORPORATE FUNHOUSE WHILE ALSO TRYING TO MAKE IT THE NEXT BIG SOCIAL MEDIA!!!111!!111!"
I hate this argument even more than I hate it when someone says Green Day sold out. Because
1. There are many vibrant and colourful sites today; not just on neocities
2. So many sites back in the day were corporate slop being entirely black or grey with a basic patterns. Its function over form for modern sites which isn’t ideal but can do perfectly
3. Social media is good! Would you wanna go back to a time where the internet was mostly shitty blogs made using Geocities templates? If you say yes then regrets you will.
That being said, I really love apple’s smooth style they went for from about 2013-2020. Really came off nicely
