alt Hacker NewsWhat do you mean designs like this? This is 2016-cyberpunk-neon-era inspired by video game interfaces, these are not uncommon at all. Google something like "discord cyberpunk theme" or "cyberpunk rice site:reddit.com/r/unixporn" and you'll find endless examples. This isn't suprising at all obviously.

Uncommon in commercial products - they all use the same flat, bland design language.
I'd say the only thing it's a newish aesthetic for is web UI that isn't implemented in Flash, but even then there's been periodic resurgences. Command and Conquer, Starcraft 2, I'm sure there are tons of examples I'm unaware of.
The only recent novel addition—I'd speculate—is the specific influence of Cyberpunk the game with its shiny surfaces and pink highlights, but even then it's hardly new.
