I think it’s lamer than ai art, they’re passing around copies of commissions that pathetic people got from this weirdo rachidlotf.com/store/

Very shitty collages of scraped google image results is my guess. No way AI produced that much different, legible text. Also can't decide what decade they're nostalgic for. That third image is a mess of 80s, 90s, and 2000s

It's even more cynical than that; I looked this guy up because I was also wondering about the AI aesthetic but with strangely legible text and he's made all these templates with blank spots where you can just tell him what nostalgia bait you want there and order a copy

I guess I can't be too mad given the context, at least this is still a human being who actually developed some talent and is putting these together with actual intentionality. as corny and hollow as it is, at least it's not AI slop

So my first sentence stands. His art is such a disaster of lighting, perspective, hierarchy, and depth.

oh yeah it's not like, good. You're right about the 50 car pileup of shit from different eras too. The other thing nostalgia trash always gets wrong is ignoring the tail pop culture has. The 1980s didn't look like The Eighties, in 1984 you would've still had a bunch of shit from the 70s around

The people who originally commissioned the images can't be that pathetic, because they at least commissioned an actual art weirdo instead of getting chatgpt to do it for them. The people passing around other people's nostalgia porn are definitely pathetic, though.
