What is the media’s obsession with cooling towers? Anything nuclear, cooling tower. Chemical company? Cooling tower.

I do too FWIW, but big brutalist concrete constructions definitely give dystopian vibes imo.

Anything can be made to look dystopian with correct filters, angles and (for video format) ominous music

Look dystopian, not are dystopian. They’re big grey concrete towers, now I personally dig the look, but it’s hard to get away from.

Because they look like large outlets of coloured air.

Coloured air coming out of an something is the default way of depicting air pollution.
Even if it is just water vapour, it has a big enough shock factor.
