This time, we’re bringing you the best of all time from this subreddit. Back in 2019, when we first featured this community, we tackled the question “What is good taste?”. Now, five years later, we’ve compiled the very best of the subreddit to show you that bad taste can result in some pretty awesome craftsmanship, too. Bored Panda reached out to lifestyle blogger and graphic designer Nikki Lo. She loves all things aesthetic, so it’s only natural we sought her opinion on what’s considered tasteful, whether aesthetics should be important to all people, and what ‘good taste’ means to her. Read her insights below! More info: Nikki Lo | Hip And Home “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.).” 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 are tasteless, 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.” We decided to consult a professional in this field: lifestyle blogger and graphic designer Nikki Lo. She knows all about style, fashion, decor, and the aesthetic lifestyle, and she kindly agreed to weigh in on the topic. “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. “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 She also adds after a beat: “Although, personally, I think orange-toned wood is a little bit outdated.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
