Tweeting in Style: A Journey into Aesthetic Excellence

Put aside all the fuss about Twitter, or X as it's now called, and indulge in these accounts that deliver a daily dose of aesthetics and visual delights for those who crave it.

The appreciation of aesthetics has forever been prevalent in the late 19th century, championing "art for art's sake."

It emphasised beauty, craftsmanship, and the pursuit of aesthetic experiences in various forms, from visual arts to literature.

Rejecting strict moral or societal messages, it celebrated the sheer pleasure derived from artistic expression and refined design.

We're far from the 19th century, but does the modern era still value aesthetics? You bet.

New Millenium Nights / @LateNight2000s

"Back to a time when everything was beautiful and nothing hurt."

Owning a PlayStation 2 carries a distinct sentiment—it's a ticket to the past, a time when life was simpler, and worries seemed to fade away. For some, the console represents more than just gaming; it's a nostalgic portal to our youth, where responsibilities were fewer, and the joy of exploration and play took center stage.

@LastNight2000s succinctly hit the nail on the head to be a kid with a PlayStation 2.
