We don't have companies called Militech or anything, we have companies named shit like Poob. Palantir is the only suitably evil sounding company

I blame Steve Jobs for the cringe aesthetics, such as the lower case quirky names for everything and the "minimalist" and New Memphis cringe engineering and visuals corporate-art

Sure, there's nostalgia-baiting attempts by corpos to churn out the le neon and the le razorgirl waifus in the treats, but they feel very insincere and stripped of meaning outside of blue curtain spankbank self indulgence.
