Edit; I’m not asking what the 90s were like because I was there. I’m thinking what the pastiche of the 90s would be like should it have a revival like the 80s one that is nothing like the real 1980s by young people that presumably only have vague ideas from magazines and music and movies to go by. Like for example if it takes off from grunge but not like it was then but like it is idealised by kids today, what would it be like? What else was a 90s thing? Boy bands and indie pop mixed together on MTV? Hardcore techno and jungle/dnb with it’s own analogue distribution channels by mail, flyers, mixtapes? Last generation of B-movies with practical effects shot on film before that part of the industry degraded into C-tier on digital with terrible CGI in the 00s? Mainstream pop culture, whatever that was? Television and radio, magazines and records before the internet took off? How would any or all of that be reimagined by people that didn’t live it back then? I had no interest then nor do I have today for fashion magazines so if somebody knows I’d love to hear your twist on the topic.
It’d be Niravana done in the style of Phil Collins while the video shows a vhs recording of people partying on a beach in board shorts and bikinis flanked by skaters in JNCO jeans with POGs glued to their skateboards with a club in the background that’s called “The Edge”, which is brightly adorned with a combination of “that cup design” and the pastel RGBY in geometric shapes while inside its actually got a simultaneous jungle and future aesthetic.
I can actually visualize it just by reading this. Wow.
Well, like you, I was there. Yet I know I only scratched the surface too.
