Oh definitley frutiger aero.
Not a fan of the early windows style, but otherwise "Memphis" looks coolest to me. Reminds me of early nickelodeon. The crowd in the background of What Would You Do was 100% this style.
Late 90s decided that everyone had to dress up in silver
Then what's Win11, Arc, that style?
I love the excess of the Y2K Era. Everything was so much more beautiful, unique, and strange. Everything after seemed like an attempt to "dial it back."
Y2K. Let me just run this chromium look filter on my pillow embossing.

The music. The early 90s saw the rise of independent record labels which then gave rise to bands who wouldn't have stood a chance otherwise, aka Indie Music. After the 60s, the 90s is by far the best era for modern music ever.
Strange, just for the last few days, I've been thinking just what a big cultural turning point 2005 seemed to be. From then on, everything started to circle the drain, and I put the blame on globalization and the advent of large-scale social media. Which might have left an imprint on product design and fashion.
And, as I wrote earlier in a different thread, the shift from 1994 to 1995 was the biggest one I've witnessed, and it was very visible in public spaces. Audible as well: It went from Metallica and ZZ Top as supermarket background music (imagine this!) to "Easy Listening" or whatever.
Gaming hasn't really bloomed as much as it had in the 2000s
Flat design definitely looks the cleanest, most simple and pleasing to the eye.
