Corporate Memphis. It's an art style a lot of people hate, and I can understand why.

soulless corps trying to seem friendly, that's why

I've recognized this style as a generic corpo art, but never had a name to put to it. Thanks for that.

Sanitized, pandering, and insincere, Wikipedia describes it perfectly.

Yeah like in 50 years I can absolutely imagine people loving it as a style of a time. I recognize I like pop art far more than I would if I was in its target demographic. But also I don’t hate it, it’s just so everywhere and so soulless. It’s the style of “money please” in a time of great socioeconomic inequality. It’s art deco but demanding friendship and comfort rather than respect and awe. But more than anything it’s art for business people, and I just don’t care for business people.
