FYI: Alegria “Art”, or the larger “Corporate Memphis” style is flat-color, anatomically-distorted slop associated with corporations and used by Facebook, Google and others.

Yes, I could make a community but I’m not here often enough to moderate one.

      iirc most of the hate is just because 90% of the use for the artstyle is just soulless corporate advertising/website filler

        It’s soulless and blandly inoffensive. Perfect for corporate slop. Certainly don’t see many corporations embracing Soviet Realism.

    i do like the artstyle. mainly cause it reminds me of tge weird oldschool adobe reader logo theme. also i would rather see a thick black girl jogging in a loginpage, than a generic half torso trying to represent everyone.

    This art style screams “I have a passion for graphic design” idk why. Sorry to the artist. I hope they were paid handsomely

    So, you want somebody else to create and moderate a community for you…based on something that you hate. Do I have that right?

      Yes.

      It wouldn’t be the first community defined by antagonism to something, there is [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] and even [email protected] despite a non-significant number of AI proponents around. The corresponding subreddit r/fuckalegriaart has 57K members. So it’s not just me, and hating something is a valid basis for a community. I technically could create it but there are better hands it could be in. So I guess I just should, based on the reactions I see I don’t expect much traffic anyway.

        It doesn’t sound like a community that would be very demanding in terms of moderation.

      It really is just corporations being able to suck the life out of anything isn’t it?

      That was beautifully animated and this art style does seem to work really well with animation.

      it has the wiggly non-anatomical figures and flat coloring, but the artistic vision behind it renders it not nearly so soulless and upsetting

      (though imho it’s p mid considering Caravan Palace’s other music and videos)

      Not gonna lie, I do like the music video. It’s probably because the wider context and overall actions of the character add personality that the corporate art style she’s drawn in have removed, and the odd proportions play well with the frequent perspective distortions in scene transitions etc.

    Ugh. That shit would be fine if it didn’t have association with startups making a shitty online service that dies in 3 months

    It will probably get replaced by generative AI slop soon so middle managers don’t need to pay anyone

      Replaced? Rather, I think the quantity of it will allow generative AI to be better trained to create more of it

    I certainly have come to associate it with Black Mirror-style tech dystopia and corporate greenwashing.

    Company I work for announced some new branding recently. Saying they wanted to be different. Its literally the same as everything else but in green. Oh, how adventurous they must have been feeling.
