preppy-kei
Dodgy "Lawnmower Man"-style early 3D graphics
Anything to do with virtual reality including the huge chunky headsets
Ironic appreciation of the hippy-dippy/PLUR aspects of rave culture
General early 90s new-age mysticism colliding with ecstacy/ambient music/computers/awful CGI
Really crummy mid 90s websites with lots of lame HTML gimmicks, Times New Roman used as the only font and pointless (sometimes animated) clipart that took ages to load on yr 486
80s has been done to death and anything after '96 is too soon, imo. So we're drawing our inspiration from the 89-95 era, here. Don't bring up cool stuff or genres like Jungle or Garage that are too obvious and already curated/canonised enough. Rock is out of the question because it was already retro by then in the first place.
