You mean Gen X Soft Club. Yep, that's what it is called.
It was a counter-reaction against the dirty, gritty grunge aesthetics of the mid-90s, in favor of something much cleaner, quieter, minimalistic.

Grunge became a joke in 96, even The Simpsons made front of it, I remember that shift to Gen Z soft club ( even if that name is NOT fitting) lol happened pretty gradually

From what I see here late 90s/early 2000s minimalism was all about rounded edges, while mid/late 2010s minimalism was obv all about straight rectangles (look at Windows 8)

The mid 2010s by contrast are probably the boxiest era aesthetically since the 80s.

Cellphones underwent that aesthetic change too. Just contrast the Motorola MicroTac from 1989 to the Nokia 3310 from 2000.

I even refused to collect it years later.
