         | While similar in spirit, CARI (the website linked in the post)
         | is about aesthetics that can be found in consumer products.
         | Aesthetics Wiki is broader, looser, and involved anything that
         | people want to assign a name to. There are many things on
         | Aesthetics Wiki that do not correspond to anything found in the
         | consumer market.

       | Feels like these classifications are AI generated and possibly
       | some of the art too. Can an art expert weigh in?

         | love this sort of thing. So no, neither of those things is

         | This is a great sample of "truth [being] stranger than
         | fiction". Can verify many of the examples from memory. Most
         | memorable: the Encarta Encyclopedia CD-ROM illustration/splash
         | screen.

         | examples to be real. When it comes to names, I think they've
         | explained the origin in some cases. There's a log of the
         | changes they've made over time.

       | Whenever I open a specific aesthetic, it is shown below a grey
       | semi-transparent overlay, and a white box with "Title (untitled)
       | Description (no description)" in the center. The overlay can't be
       | closed as far as I can see. Strange behavior.
