Now the baseline. Most UI design defaults to flat principles with:
Where We Are Now: All styles available simultaneously
We're in a post-ideological moment. No single style dominates. Success comes from:
Styles tend to return on ~30-year cycles:
| Original Era | Revival Era |
|---|---|
| 1960s psychedelic | 1990s rave |
| 1970s disco | 2000s web gradients |
| 1980s Memphis | 2010s hipster design |
| 1990s grunge | 2020s brutalism |
| Y2K aesthetic | 2025-2030s (predicted) |
Prediction: Expect a 1990s deconstructivist/grunge revival in the late 2020s.
