These environments will often include concrete, brutalist architecture, skyscrapers, large buildings and subway stations. The visual features of soft apocalypse are very reliant on nature surrounded urban environments. While it can still give a melacholy vibe, there is an underlying feeling of hope that permeates this aesthetic. Using the feeling of collapse of today's society, the aesthetic focuses on the positivity of the world being a cleaner and almost happier place after the apocalypse. Soft Apocolypse draws of the desire to abandon this way of living, whether it was voluntary or not, in favour of letting the urban environment decay, leaving forests in its place. The current political, economic, and ecological climate can inspire feelings of dread, meaninglessness and hatred for this world as it is right now.
