A visual aesthetic popular in the mid-late 2000s to early 2010s, and a derivative of [[Frutiger Aero]], mixing flat minimalist design styles with overall maximalist imagery.

Common visual elements include gradients, "bloom" or "flourish" shapes, glossy textures, [[bokeh]], [[abstract background]]s, [[splatter]] effects, [[no lineart|lineless]] vector drawings, shapes such as [[star (symbol)|]]s and circles, and [[silhouette]]s. Bright color palettes consisting mainly of lime green, electric blue, hot pink and neon orange are a staple.

Common thematic elements and motifs include nature imagery similar to Frutiger Aero, [[animal]]s like [[bird]]s and [[butterfly|butterflies]], [[speaker]]s and [[audio visualizer]]s, [[flower|floral]] imagery, and music motifs such as [[piano keys]] and [[musical note]]s.

It derives its name from the "Metro" theme of [[Windows 8]].
