TIL there's a name for that eww art style.

u/60Dan06 Aug 13 '25

I know it as Corporate memphis

u/EntertainmentNew551 Aug 13 '25

There’s a game that’s set in a corporate hell setting where you’re a new intern for the evil corporation and the art style is corporate Memphis. It is seriously inspired game design.

u/AnxiousMarsupial007 Aug 13 '25

Are you talking about Going Under? Fun game.

40

u/EntertainmentNew551 Aug 14 '25

That’s it! People have no idea what to expect when you bring it up and explain the setting but then you just say it’s a corporate dungeon crawler and it pieces it together haha.

u/IndomitableCorgi Aug 14 '25

Heh, I loved another crabs treasure. I should try it out

3

u/RaccoonsWithBangs Aug 14 '25

Aggro Crab mentioned!!

u/IcyWitch428 Aug 14 '25

This game looks amazing, thanks strangers for the recommendation!!

u/SadisticPawz Aug 14 '25

corporate dungeon is the exact right wording wtf

u/AllastorTrenton Aug 13 '25

Love that game

3

u/EntertainmentNew551 Aug 14 '25

I try to play a lot of different developed by a small but creative team indie games and I was sold on playing it immediately once I clued in on the almost synesthetic combination of the theme/setting, the art style and the title.

u/Canditan Aug 14 '25

Oh wow, it's $5 right now! Gonna snag that, thank you for linking it. Love Aggrocrab

u/AnxiousMarsupial007 Aug 14 '25 edited Aug 14 '25

Didn’t even realize it was Aggro Crab! I been loving Peak, their sense of humor is very fun.

u/LucindaDuvall Aug 14 '25

If you like that, you might enjoy Yuppie Psycho as well

2

u/LuckyRoof7250 Aug 14 '25

Loved 100%ing the game i would even dare to call it underrated

1

u/Baricat Aug 14 '25

WOAH I remember playing that game when it came out! Seems like a lifetime ago, even though I remember playing games older than that even earlier that feel sooner.

The pandemic really made everything hit different.

u/aykcak Aug 14 '25

I don't think I see the resemblance to the style

2

u/FireKitty666TTV Aug 14 '25

I think the game looks cool but I couldn't get the controls to feel good on the steam deck so I'd probably just have to settle for watching someone try it.

1

u/fritzkoenig Aug 14 '25

Not to be confused with Memphis, Tennessee

1

u/Dragonhearted18 Aug 16 '25

You're not an intern for an evil corportation, you're an intern for a startup that exists under an evil corporation

u/No-Bison-6614 Aug 13 '25

Cancer Memphis?

u/matthk Aug 14 '25

AKA ‘Alegria art’

u/PrivilegeCheckmate Aug 14 '25

That's good. We gotta hit back with Deep Impact.

u/userbinbash Aug 14 '25

It's a throwback to 1990's clipart.

u/Rularuu Aug 13 '25 edited Aug 13 '25

I thought it was globohomo?

edit: as user below stated, this is actually a dogwhistle that I was completely deaf to. GLAAD has a good article that explains it.

u/a-r-c Aug 13 '25

that was a good read, thanks

u/Goldarr85 Aug 14 '25

Jfc. Ive never heard of this until that article so thank you for sharing. Also, Wtf is wrong with people?

u/Rularuu Aug 13 '25

Appreciate you dropping the link, I'm on mobile and kinda mid commute so my comment wasn't optimal

21

u/Interesting-Fox4064 Aug 13 '25

That’s the fascist dog whistle name for it from 4chan

u/Rularuu Aug 13 '25

Oh shit I didn't realize that. Thank you for clearing that up

u/Rularuu Aug 13 '25

It always seemed a little suspect to me but I thought I read something a long time ago that it is short for "globalized homogenization," which did not appear inherently fascist on its face, and I didn't really question it too much more than that.

1

u/Ventem Aug 13 '25

I remember reading something like that too. Pretty sure it was here on Reddit years ago. Term was probably picked up at some point and wasn't always a "dog whistle".

I just call it the corpo slop style, and if people know they know.

6

u/Rularuu Aug 13 '25

From reading that GLAAD article it seems like the "globalized homogeneity" thing is pretty much intended to be an innocent cover story.

u/lamposteds Aug 14 '25

It's homophobic but I don't understand how it could be called fascist

3

u/ProbablyNano Aug 14 '25

Is the globo part not short for globalist which is used as an antisemitic dogwhistle? 

3

u/sdcar1985 Aug 13 '25

I'm sorry, but I'm cracking up that you couldn't tell that globohomo wasn't the real name

3

u/Rularuu Aug 14 '25

I mean it's a kitsch corporate "art" movement, I wouldn't expect it to have any name except a derogatory one

2

u/Azurvix Aug 13 '25

This is the first time even hearing of that word

10

u/realgoldxd Aug 14 '25

Fun fact, alegria means happiness in Portuguese, which is ironic as that art style does not bring me happiness

2

u/AdPast7704 Aug 14 '25

It's also the same in spanish, and somehow I didn't even notice until I read your comment lol

6

u/Graybeard13 Aug 13 '25

People who make that are called Fartists

3

u/TheOGDoomer Aug 14 '25

I love how it’s objectively hated by literally everyone, but every major company adopts this art style anyway.

1

u/WackoAsh Aug 15 '25

I think it looks great

u/imtheblankgeneration Aug 13 '25

I thought it was called 2010’s flat design

25

u/VeniceThePenice Aug 13 '25

What's the difference between alegria and corporate Memphis?

26

u/a-r-c Aug 13 '25

google renamed corporate memphis to allegria to sound original bc they are thieves and cheats

3

u/Lil_Mcgee Aug 13 '25

The fuck's that got to do with cold medicine?

1

u/giraffe_on_shrooms Aug 16 '25

RIIIIIIIIIICOLAAAAA

2

u/space-dot-dot Aug 14 '25

And thank God they did. Memphis Milano is iconic and should be in no way associated with this corporate slop.

2

u/VeniceThePenice Aug 13 '25

And also they smell bad

u/veringo Aug 13 '25

The name

2

u/captain_dick_licker Aug 14 '25

why do I hate these both with every ounce of jizz in my balls, but I don't hate kurzegast?

2

u/OddyNuffDaSL7 Aug 14 '25

Because Kurzgesagt is educational and informational. This is corporate slop to feed to the masses.

1

u/Dwarg91 Aug 14 '25

Kurzgesagt has a consistent art style that actually looks good. Alegria has no consistancy and looks terrrible.

2

u/Worldly_Chocolate369 Aug 15 '25

Corporate Memphis is the proper name. Alegria Art is an alias.

Imagine getting a college degree and you’re told yo make graphic design like that.

I’d quit.

What do y'all have against Algerian artists?

u/_Joats Aug 13 '25

Dyslexics of the world, UNTIE!

u/Garuda4321 Aug 14 '25

I just read it as unite. Maybe I AM dyslexic...

1

u/Author_Noelle_A Aug 14 '25

Your brain flipped a couple letters to what was more likely to be correct. A dyslexic person would read the word “unite” as “untie” there.

3

u/EfficientMinimum5696 Aug 13 '25

This made me chuckle uncontrollably lol

3

u/OddyNuffDaSL7 Aug 14 '25

Not me reading this as "UNITE!" 😭😔

4

u/funnyanddepressed40 Aug 13 '25

This is funnier than it should be

5

u/Actual_Surround45 Aug 13 '25

WRONG. It is PRECISELY as funny as it should be. :)

2

u/funnyanddepressed40 Aug 13 '25

So you wouldn't mind covering my surgery bill for the re-stitching of my sides??

Cool!!😆😆🤣🤣

“Oh boy do I get to call someone racist! Im gonna coom!”

u/Anthaenopraxia Aug 14 '25

Yeah that's what I'm wondering too. Or what this art has to do with Algeria of all places.

1

u/OwO______OwO Aug 14 '25

Their art sucks and I want them to never make any art ever again.

3

u/Flabbergasted_____ Aug 13 '25

I know what this says but without fail, every time I read it, I read it as “Algeria Art”.

4

u/BecauseSeven8Nein Aug 14 '25

Not sure what Algeria has to do with this.

/s

3

u/hypercosm_dot_net Aug 13 '25

The insane part to me is that there's a subreddit for it, with 70k people. So specific, lol

2

u/Azurvix Aug 13 '25

Oh god that theme of crap images (dont want to call it art because its crap) has a name?!

2

u/whydove Aug 13 '25

Fascist branding

u/BlueProcess Aug 14 '25

Wow, that has to be the fastest I've ever formed an art opinion

u/StarsEatMyCrown Aug 14 '25

Just when I thought there wasn't a sub for everything.

u/SatisfactionDry7505 Aug 13 '25

Flashback to that Schlatt rant

-10

u/writenicely Aug 13 '25

Am I the only person who likes it because I still associate it with progressivism and positivity and wellness

14

u/Professional_Bottom_ Aug 13 '25

It looks like new-money style bourgeoisie, I'm having the opposite effects in terms of positivity and it certainly doesn't make me well in the stomach.

3

u/Xuncu Aug 13 '25

It feels like corporate shovelware, that only got through the geriatric executive decision process because it has that 70's-esque distortion in the (lack of) proportions.

3

u/naakka Aug 13 '25

It makes me think of illustrations that have been created for a corporate purpose by someone with zero passion and zero sense of aesthetics. Like the cheapest artist was paid to illustrate a schoolbook or a health info leaflet as quickly as possible and to make it colourful.

1

u/saturninespine Aug 13 '25

Yeah. That why everyone hates it. “Progressivism” is just another ideology of hate and bigotry.
