I'd say that it was the 80s, because most types of art peaked in 1984 (in terms of cultural significance).

I agree, and also the 1984 David Lynch Dune movie was the pinnacle of film making.

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.

Was the 3DS (main menu) really frutiger? Feels like a far cry compared to Win7 and the xbox 360

Late 90s decided that everyone had to dress up in silver

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."

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.

Then what's Win11, Arc, that style?

Y2K. Let me just run this chromium look filter on my pillow embossing.

memphis & flat

Flat design definitely looks the cleanest, most simple and pleasing to the eye.

Gaming hasn't really bloomed as much as it had in the 2000s
