1900s Aero

A variant that fuses Frutiger Aero’s glassy, nature‑connected optimism with the aesthetic of the 1900s—Victorian industrialism, the rise of the department store, and the first gleaming visions of technological progress. 1900s Aero features polished brass, ornate ironwork, and large glass panels that were once marvels of engineering. Nature is represented through elaborate botanical illustrations and the idealized parks of the City Beautiful movement. The aesthetic evokes a world’s fair where electricity, glass, and steel promised to bring nature into the modern city.
Example: “The conservatory had a steel‑frame glass dome, ornate ironwork, and lush ferns—1900s Aero, the future as a greenhouse.”

No Nut 1900s

Self explanatory. A time period between January 1st, 1900 to December 31, 1999 where you don’t nut for that entire time. No one has ever done No Nut 1900s surviving, but if you go back in time and do it, you might become indestructible.
Dude, you know no one has ever survived the No Nut 1900s?

1990s by yeahokaythen June 27, 2006
Probably the last decade worth mentioning in recent times.

1)Huge political changes(early 90s), bloody conflicts in Africa, Eastern Europe and ex-USSR republics. The fall of the worldwide socialist system.
2)The odd mix of new and old throught the world.
3)The birth of the public Internet, early multiplayer games(late 90s) with their yet unspoilt atmoshpere. In love with the 90s graphics in 2020.
4)Music bursted out with dozens of new genres in rock; the actual rebirth of hip-hop(the golden age) and electronic.
5)Many rock stars from 70s and 80s (and, of course, 90s) were much younger and energetic, though some of them fell in deep crisis.
5)Probably the highest levels of the world's criminalization.
6)The last peak for analog audio/video tech. Next digital decades are to kill the soul of the electronics.
7)90s were marked with a breakout for the cinematograph. Numerous masterpieces, as well as simply good family films.
Man, I should have been born in 1980s rather than 2000s to see the 1990s.
