Vaporwave is that
I’m thinking that vaporwave is a niche glitch aesthetics spinoff from the dial up experience.
Unplugged.
A return to innocence, a return to …Enya!
And etno techno. Uuh.
90s enjoyers have been just doin their thing all along
I don’t know everything that would end up in it, but DayGlo shit would definitely be one of them.
Hell, the image of a stereotypical zoomer already looks like they are harkening back to the 90’s aesthetic.
I don’t rightfully know, but my heart says “The hotwheels logo”
Doc Martens and flannel. Can you smell the grunge?
What da fuck is Eddie Vetter saying anyway?
Ask the Swedish Chef
Get out of my nostalgia closet!
Depends on a couple things. 90’s then or what we think of the 90’s now?
Also, first half or second half. Because basically, the internet. The internet really wasn’t a thing in peoples homes for the first half of the 90’s. That became a thing starting around 95, and became pretty much ubiquitous by the year 2000.
The early 90’s were basically the 80s. The later half was like, grunge, pop-punk, early internet.
Not how it was or how we remember it. The nineties idealised and reimagined according to what it should be like to be considered cool and interesting today, presumably by people that are too young to have lived through the doc martens and jeans and cigarette smoke that it really was.
Honestly, cigarettes were on the decline by then. More of a 1980s thing.

Yeah.

And that’s absolute numbers falling, not percentage of the population – the population was growing while absolute numbers were falling.
EDIT: In the US. But, well, I’m assuming that this is in the context of the US, as I expect that 1990s art motifs in, say, North Korea, are gonna be wildly different; it’s a culturally-dependent question.
Hmm. I shall ideate on this to the mallwave album 19999 by the artist Windows96
Small yellow cars with black racing stripes, ear shattering sound system and massive wing spoilers…wicked!
It’s kind of earlier, but a little bit would be casette futurism.
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CassetteFuturism
A technological aesthetic reminiscent of mid-1970s to late 1990s tech (regardless of the real-time setting of the media) as codified by early microcomputers like the Altair 8800 and the IBM Personal Computer, late Cold War era technology, the iconic imagery of the mid to late space race, or the post-Cold War “end of history” period in The '90s, which was characterized by a fascination with virtual reality technologies (such as helmets) and 2D computer animation.
Whether it be the bold colors and geometric shapes, the tendency towards stark plainness, or the exotic-looking computers and proto-cell phones, it is clear that this is neither the Raygun Gothic of days past nor the Everything Is an iPod in the Future aesthetic that would follow, but a bridging point that contains elements of both styles.
Amazingly, nobody appears to have done a Wikipedia page for cassette futurism yet, or I’d link to that.
That’s mostly synthwave aesthetic. Synthwave covers that same sort of stylistic convention as cassette futurism.
The Scotland away shirt from 1992 can confirm:
Don’t forget florescent triangles
My dad’s truck had something like that on the side, back in the 90s
I remember many a Ford Explorer with that on the side as well lol
And transparent home computer cases from companies trying to Imitate the iMac look, with colors named after fruits. I had a transparent green external hard drive…
Did you get this from the wall in the Taco Bell bathroom?
Paper plate and cup and also my old jacket and also the walls at the mall lol
They’re tiny, they’re toony. They’re all a little looney!
Oh yeah, I remember. But what would the kids do with this style if they were to adopt it?
Dockers pale brown/green, wool, plaid.
It would be this.
Nu-metal buttrock played by white guys dressed like cholos.
Numetal is the tail end of the 90s, you’re ignoring like 80 percent of the decade there.
It’s only denim.
