I've been on the Internet for 30 god damn years and I've never seen these glorious memes. Please keep them coming.

If you haven’t seen shit like this, then you definitely haven’t been on the Internet for 30 “goddamn years”. 30 years ago, this is all it used to be: a mix between “holy shit, I managed to spend a month downloading Adobe Photoshop 2.5“, and “holy shit, I just learned this new thing called HTML“— except it wasn’t this funny. Everything sucked, visually, because it was the 90s.

But, at least the music was awesome.

Bullshit. DayGlo shit was pure 90's aesthetic and it was, and still is, awesome.

DayGlo was an 80s aesthetic, not a 90s aesthetic. But thanks for helping me make my point.

Is there another name for the neon styles from the early 90's or something? Like the shit Will Smith wore on Fresh Prince, or what you'd see on In Living Color.
