"CARI defines a consumer aesthetic as a visual movement unified by overarching attitudes and themes that survived long enough or became popular enough to be appropriated by capital (a bar that is being lowered constantly as our cycles of cultural propagation accelerate). Aesthetics are grouped here roughly by the time of their peak ubiquity, but many of them have examples to be found well outside that range as each movement spread from avant-garde settings to vernacular use."
