Some people think that Frutiger Metro is an inaccurate theme (me included). Adrian Frutiger's fonts and Metro UI have little to do with the vector based art that we refer to by Frutiger Metro nowadays.
There's alternate names such as Vectordelia, Vector Maximalism, Vectorculture, Vector Pop.
What do you think is a good name for it? Or do you like the current term Frutiger Metro?

Yeah i think any other name is better than frutiger metro.
Frutiger Aero and metro were only connected afterwards when we needed to give them names.

Honestly Vectordelia is more 2000s vector art. It has more lighter secondary colors, whereas Frutiger Metro has more basic shapes, saturated colors, and less dramatic gradients. Android Lollipop and Windows 8(.1) are Frutiger Metro where all the "Frutiger Metro" art you see is Vectordelia. And Frutiger Metro is more white/black with an accent if it's a website or a program's ui.

Vectordelia and Vector Pop are my favorite alternate names. I even described my CITY wallpapers on my site as "Frutiger Metro/Pop-styled".
