there doesn't seem to be all that much NOSTALGIA for this whole aesthetic, even though it was big for a while and had a lot of money behind it. by this, i'm talking about the whole cultural complex of smooth jazz/soft rock, media/TV shows, and marketing campaigns focused at the sub-elite urban/suburban striver-class during that era. i'd say the aesthetic began to coalesce toward the end of the 1980's, and was on its way out by late-1995/early-1996, as pop music became more electronic and the internet bubble expanded.

it's kind of difficult to find examples to use as "platonic forms" of this stuff, since it was kind of diffuse and tended to lack an aesthetic core. it was more like a mood - slightly anesthetized, inoffensive, clean, meant to slide easily into the background so that you could focus on your work. this print ad captures some of the spirit:

https://i.imgur.com/xBkE4BK.jpg

notice how there really IS no background here - there appears to be a hill or something to the right, across some indistinct waters, but those features have been smoothed out so that they become a texture rather than a landscape. the calm coloration and vague nature theme recalls the commercial form of the "new age" aesthetic popular at the time.

the music was similar, which is perhaps why most of it has vanished from the cultural imagination. it included songs like "house of stone and light," musicians like kenny g and enigma, and lots of landscape imagery of beaches or places other than your office:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upJxt64uRWg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_VcZsax4Z0

this music tended to DALLY with other styles (like R&B or rock) without actually BEING them. eg, the use of R&B or jazz-style horns but within the general idiom of the style:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VS2Hp9Ck9mQ

or "bluesy" guitar lines:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_QGJE94iOM

TV media included shows like murphy brown, mad about you, and a variety of long-forgotten adult-oriented drama series like "homefront" or "midnight caller."

i feel like this whole cultural epoch was more important than we assume - this stuff was a sort of distilled, syncretized expression of a culture for people whose deracination meant that they had lost their own.

american psycho did not cover this cultural epoch nor its media. american psycho was about mid-80's NYC yuppies and their sociopathic vapidity. this thread is about a more diffuse set of interlocking aesthetics which were, broadly, designed to serve as background media for the broader north american white-collar consumer classes.

Excellent post, and I get what you're getting at, but it's hard to encapsulate, as you suggested.

I think this was also reflected in early 90s movies, rife with bland nonthreatening performers like Kevin Kline, Andie McDowell, Alec Baldwin (before the bloated scumbag phase), Matthew Modine, et al

wholly shit.

stopped reading and threw my touchpad out of a 27th story window (its ok) when the second one started quoting the first one about Frasier not being "unique" compared to fucking FRIENDS.

here's the real answer: frasier's fans are neither 1) the birdbrains who make nostalgia pinterestcupcaketampons for friends or 2) the (((people))) who retcon cultural history to serve whatever their current shtick happens to be; they are straight(ish), male, goy intellectuals.

sure, plenty of jews watched frasier. but it doesnt resonate in the jewish soul the way seinfeld does. (seinfeld's the "the inexorable triumph of banal, amoral soullessness in a modern society of rootless cosmopolitans" IS jewish soul, such as it is)

but it has little appeal for those who would use it as a prop for the narrative. ie, nobody besides askav is posting hot takes about frasier or the importance of its unexpected renaissance in 2018/continuing moral relevance/profound aesthetic achievement that until now has gone unnoticed/etc.

clearly it would be absurd to say its dated in the way that murphy brown or mad about you are dated (because they always sucked).

edit: see further explanation of frasier's goy audience; its the dog that doesnt bark more than anything

"but it has little appeal for those who would use it as a prop for the narrative."

True, but that has nothing to do with jewish people. The people who write those articles are young hipster losers who make $26k. These types are actually parodied on Frasier (zoey deschanel played one of them I think; she's a pretentious know-it-all hipster who shits on everything and is the station manager's niece visiting seattle). The show is timeless for professional intellectual types who came from middle or working class families. I know plenty of jews like that.

It's possible for Jews to watch and enjoy Frasier, just as Jews watch and enjoy, say, basketball. An object of anthropological significance or fascination. And while Frasier may bear superficially greater resemblance to the lived Jewish experience than does Bronx hooping, in the final analysis I think it can be demonstrated that Frasier welcomes Jewishness about as well as Julio welcomes Paul Simon down by the schoolyard.

This whole thread is about the hold over late 80s vibe that was this Cosby-induced delusion that affluence and post-racialism was the future, all while the inner cities were awash in crack and murder rates were spiking to an insane degree. Places not far from the Village in the early 90s were literally open air shooting galleries, but in Friends everyone was white and sipping espresso.

This was an era of sade and twin peaks and people's furniture was black and white and heavily lacquered. People owned fishtanks and waterbeds.

There was also a very short club music scene with deep voiced black female singers, and that was all gone by 1995.

I liked this surreal era. No idea how it just evaporated

But this is also American psycho era so we've not forgotten it

the whole thing had a laid-back nebulously french or at least european vibe, like everyone was fashionable, sophisticated, listening to soulful but tastefully nonchalant music. it was a time of great cultural confidence. despite rodney king, it felt in adult pop culture there was a detente in race relations. then various forms of disaffection broke out of their subcultures into the mainstream, principally through music

Then Rodney king, for sure, and rap/hiphop just got harder.

There was a huge black influence, not just in music and TV but also in fashion. White people wore cross colours https://goo.gl/images/sN6XCB

And watched the NBA. Popular music was boys II men and en vogue. This was slightly past Whitney Houston popularity but blacks were still white washed but influential

Obviously the novel American Psycho critiques this period/culture through extreme hyperbole, but I think it captures that zeitgeist really well. Yuppies making a ton of money in finance, partying hard, caring a great deal about their appearance and clothing, and the rise of ultra-trendy restaurants and food where the entire meal seems like an amuse-bouche.

new wave and the 80's yuppie aesthetic was a bit before this epoch. that scene probably peaked around 1985. around then, there was a band called "Nu Shooz," which began as an actual 12-piece band in the late-70's, but adopted synths and sampling technology to create an extremely streamlined and slick version of "dance music" in the mid-80's:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ1tBVtYOBc

this song was an early progenitor of this whole early-90's aesthetic - it managed to "sand down" the irregularities and peculiar tones of a genre like 80's freestyle/R&B into a more generic product. critics at the time wondered if the song had been generated by computers.

if we follow this trend, we end up with albums like "Dollars and Sex" (1991) by the English band The Escape Club. they had a late-80's hit with "Wild Wild West," but their follow-up album was pure smoothed-down aging yuppie bait:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9mEYZxkDsM

notice how the album's "rock" song is not really a rock song at all, but more like a generic regurgitation of all these aesthetic themes on "rock" mode:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV7RJXLwTvA

a lot of bands released singles in this mode during this era. here's "love at first sight" by styx:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6oUbKRok6o

notice how it sounds like a digested and reformatted version of their "real" music. and yet, i don't think the genre was "fake" in the sense of something fraudulent; i think it had its own interior logic - to be vaguely comforting, vaguely 'sophisticated,' suitable for polite company, and, somehow, not TOO memorable - keep things out of the foreground of memory; act more like a blanket. and there was a lot of emotional "demand" for this stuff at that time.

So NYC yuppies had JJC-wet-dream finance jobs, listened to good New Wave, and ate at trendy restaurants; then, 5 years later, this culture trickled down to the rest of the country (but in provincial form) and yuppies in Cincinnati tried to emulate that culture but instead listened to horrible Kenny G shit and wore their baggy cardigans to Fudruckers for what they called "power meetings"?

More like people in the suburbs generally started to more emulate what was going on in the cities. It was trickle down and it took way, way longer to trickle down in the pre-Internet era.

But definitely people in the burbs became more interested in modern art, dance music, and dining trends during this time period. Just like how in the mid-2000's suburbs started to Brooklyn-ify with gastropubs and shit everywhere.

modern art and dance music was indeed such a yuppie thing. of course those things were probably born somewhere far from yuppieland, but they embraced it en mass as a way of life, commodified it. we still live in a time of modern art and dance music, in some different version of it maybe.

i'd say that one of the important way-markers in the development of this style was the song "Lily Was Here," by Candy Dulfer and Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnTxmgWXt64

it was released in late-1989, and became a pop radio hit in the US in 1990. it was actually written as background music for a film, but by that time, the psychoemotional style described in this thread was ready to gobble it up on its own.

As mentioned already, this is the vaporwave aesthetic. Not that that's mainstream but it exists.

it's a shame the internal power struggles between nissan japanese leadership and infiniti leadership stateside, nissan trying to keep infiniti down and prevent innovation

infiniti at one point could've been the lexus or better, but prissy japanese execs were too afraid

The movie Singles did a good job with the aesthetic of this. Also had the grunge/indie versus yuppie dynamic. My first experiences with MTVs the Real World were at this time. If you check out clips of the NY, LA, SF seasons you get a real feel for the vibe, style, and lingo of the time. Then, after fully indulging in all that nostalgia, take a Glock-19 out of your boyfriends purse and shoot your fucking brain out.

what should i do next? i'm thinking of revisiting either the 1950's revival of the 70's and 80's, or the 1980's baby boomer obsession with motown and 1960's soul music.
