This retro futuristic aesthetic was very popular in the early 10s, it comes from the very late 00s.
Think of it this way, Y2K is how people in the early 00s imagined the year 2010 would be like, glass futurism is how people in the early 10s though the year 2020 would be like.
The key material (and general) motif is: glass (duh)
Specially glass (transparent) smartphones and digital surfaces as well as clear foldable technology.
Another key motif are touch screen surfaces. Back in the early 10s touch screen was still brand new and "futuristic".
And the last key motif are white colored frames, this motif is a holdover of the ipod/wii aesthetic of the mid-late 00s, the difference here is that glass-futurism focuses on clear touch screen design while the "ipod" aesthetic of the late 00s was more focused on glossy white non-touch screen digital devices.
The fashion is very minimalistic, (again, because minimalism was a somewhat new design trend back then)
Do y'all think this is a real aesthetic? I rarely see people talking about it on the internet (probably because it's too recent) but i really like it. In recent years i noticed futurism is becoming less focused on touch screen technology and more focused on augmented reality
Also, do you think "glass futurism" is a good name for it?
Some video and image examples:

The earliest Frutiger Areo was seen on a mainstream level was in 2005 with PSP, once we got to Windows Vista in late 06 it started becoming more of a "thing"

Isn't Frutiger Aero exclusive to software and design? I have never seen talk about F.A in the context of futurism/tech/fashion/architecture

And it did influence the overall futurism of the era. Architecture was also influenced by Frutiger Aero to a degree.

Ahh, i see Btw Frutiger Aero was essentially the late 2000s version of Y2K, really I really hope we'll have another futuristic, i think the 2010s were the only decade without an (original) futuristic era

We haven't had one since like 2013-2014 We had the flat shift which I hated, where all logos had to look flat, as well as flat looking websites, FA was more dramatic than the flat 2013/2014 shift tho

We haven't had one since like 2013-2014 You did have slow shifts in minimalistic aesthetics. Such as the shift from ultra-thin fonts in the mid 2010s to ultra-thick fonts in the late 2010s. The rise of "Blob Web" aesthetics in the late 2010s to present. Introduction of neomourphic elements in the early 2020s. But nothing major like the rise of minimalism in the mid 2010s, or rise of Frutiger Aero in the late 2000s. I actually have no idea what the general tech aesthetic of the early-mid 2000s would be called. I know the Y2K era's aesthetic is, well, Y2K, but all I know is that it's skeuomorphic and 3D, but more "plastic" and, dare I say it, cartoonish looking. The aesthetic of Windows XP (early Mac OS X is actually considered an early example of Frutiger Aero), basically.
