But Why

Since this is an article celebrating the best of all-time posts on theAwful Taste But Great Executionsubreddit, let’s go back to the story of its inception. In aprevious articleon Bored Panda, one of the moderators for the community told us that a person created it after their submission got rejected from theS****y Car Modssubreddit.“In the beginning, /r/ATBGE focused heavily on automotive-related posts, but we knew doing this would potentially limit our user base,” the moderator told Bored Panda back then. “To make /r/ATBGE more appealing to the masses, we opened up the subreddit to include things beyond autos (tattoos, fashion, décor, etc.).”

Once they decided to include all kinds of aesthetic fails, the community grew magnificently. “As we grew, moderators were added and subreddit rules were further refined,” the moderator told Bored Panda in 2020. “Now, we are here, and things are still looking good. We continue to add new subscribers each day, which is a good thing (considering we all do this for free).“The moderator team has its own way of describing the kind of content that’s featured on the subreddit: things that “display quality craftsmanship in the least elegant way possible.” Even if the objects featured in the pics aretasteless, over-the-top, or just plain weird, the representative for the subreddit told Bored Panda that “you won’t know whether to love it or hate it.”

So, who decides what is tacky and what’s done in good taste? Is there an arbiter who can tell us whether a person’s style or interior design choices aretasteless? Or should we just go with our gut and trust our own opinion because, ultimately, beauty is in the eye of the beholder?We decided to consult a professional in this field: lifestyle blogger and graphic designerNikki Lo. She knows all about style, fashion, decor, and the aesthetic lifestyle, and she kindly agreed to weigh in on the topic.

We asked Nikki whether aesthetically pleasing things are an important part of her daily life. “For me, personally, aesthetics are very important!” she tells Bored Panda. “I’m definitely one of those annoying people [who] loves to have everything look pretty, from my outfit down to little things like my shampoo bottles or the band on my keychain.”

We also asked Nikki whether aesthetics should be important to the average person. “I don’t think the average person has to care about aesthetics at all if they don’t want to,” she says. “As an example, my boyfriend doesn’t put much effort into decorating his living space. As long as it’s clean, safe, and comfortable, he’s good – and I think that’s more than fine. But I know better than most that pretty things can make a person happy and add little bits of joy to your day, and that’s totally okay, too!”

To explain this better, Nikki uses a standard storage basket as an example. “This storage basket has an intricate woven pattern, soft round shape, and warm neutral color. These aesthetics are something that many people, though not everyone, of course, would find visually appealing. That’s the visuals part.” Nikki explains.

“For timing, this basket matches a very earthy, organic modern style that’s popular in interior design right now. For quality, it’s made of sturdy, durable fiber that will last a long time and whose color won’t fade over time. It’s also functional and helps satisfy the organizational purpose for which it was bought.““And for background, this basket is made from eco-friendly materials and was ethically produced. It was handmade and showcases incredible craftsmanship, celebrating the culture of the artist,” Nikki explains.

We were curious to know what aesthetic trends Nikki dislikes, if any. “There are definitely some visual trends that I’m not personally a fan of!” she admits. She lists some of her dislikes in fashion and home decor.“Low-rise pants, anything neon, bodysuits for working out, wood with orange undertones (like gunstock oak), and maximalism, to name a few. However, I wouldn’t consider any of these tasteless or tacky at all; they just don’t appeal to my personal taste.” She also adds after a beat: “Although, personally, I think orange-toned wood is a little bit outdated.”
