The ‘90s stand out as a decade of whimsical design, leaving a memorable imprint on our culture and hearts. It was an era of pop culture and innovation full of neon colors, iconic TV shows, blockbuster movies, and the Internet. Vibrant hues, playful patterns, funky tech gadgets, and unmissable logos were the blueprint of the ‘90s.
A subreddit called “90sDesign,” devoted to sharing the aesthetics of this decade, has gathered a collection of the most vivid styles of the ‘90s. Let's take a nostalgic trip back in time, exploring these designs that continue to charm us with their explosion of creativity to this day.

Well That Was Weird Design
I had the seethrough gameboy. Played it till my fingers bled - was the summer of `96😁
I suspect we are about to see this trend come back, within the next decade, you can already see the start of it. It's coming back merged with Matte textures and frosted plastics, equally vibrant colors but less of them, used as accents with Matte finishes, it lives already in the intersection of newtro and cyberpunk. And is much better looking.
My cousin had that N64 i was so jealous even tho I had my own, mine wasn't transparent green d@mmit!🤣
I've read Gen X is the DIY generation since we were left alone so much and had to learn how to do things on our own, so it makes sense we would want see through gadgets. Let me see how the inside of that thing works now so I know how to fix it later.
The early 1990s continued to evolve from the vibrant trends of the 1980s. The '80s were characterized by bright colors, big hair, and a fresh outlook allowing people to break free from "the normal" and make bold statements.
It represented an era of empowerment, as women’s inclusion in the labor force skyrocketed and shattered glass ceilings across professions. In 1986, Oprah Winfrey produced and owned her own talk show, becoming an inspiration for other women. Popular culture in the 1980s was defined by the appearance of mall arcades, the emergence of MTV as the first music video channel, and iconic TV shows.
These Were So Cool
My high school had a photo lab that also did these holo photography. We only got to do it once in awhile but was awesome to make our own creations.
I'm sad you got down voted. That is so cool and I am jealous lol

It's crazy how back then we were so suspicious of "predators " or something but now we're just automatically logging in via Gmail or something and wherever we go online is still shadier than ever but with predatory ads.
I had a canari that made that sound. more than 10 years after I heard that sound the last time. Propably a time travelling bird.🤔

So many radio recordings. Remember when you could record without holding tape recorder up to the radio or audio out cables?!?!?!
C90 were the best, you could get two albums on one tape. I had the Charlatans ‘Some Friendly’ and Ned’s Atomic Dustbin ‘God Fodder’ on one tape. Pretty well wore it out.
I still have so many tapes that I recorded from the radio when I was a kid!
The remaining decade was influenced by new technologies, which offered various mediums for expression. Instead of becoming one unified aesthetic the '90s had many different directions. Grunge and minimalism appeared as rebellious in their own ways, one by challenging the consumerism of pop and the other by rejecting its excess and loudness.
Magenta, neon green, electric blue, and other saturated hues dominated the color palettes of the time. The style of techno-futurism reflected the excitement for the new digital age and was characterized by sleek, metallic finishes, neon colors, and digital graphics. Additionally, color gradients and funky patterns were important design elements that added a special touch to fashion, design, and art.
Clear Phone From The '90s
Pretty sure EVERYBODY who was alive between 1988 and 1995 had this phone at some point.
Load More Replies...I loved mine. It had neon colors, pink, green, blue and yellow. It was awesome until I spilled a wine cooler on/in it. Then the ringer made a weird sound instead of ringing properly.
Gotta Love Malls That Still Like This. One Of My Favorite Movie Theaters Too
It looks so fun, like the diner in saved by the bell, a lot of the fun, novelty and joy has gone from design, replaced by sleek and over sanitised design.
I miss malls so much. Ours is so grim, half the stores empty. When I watched Stranger Things with my daughter she asked if malls were actually that busy and popular.
I live near the mall where they filmed Stranger Things. It's actually been mostly empty and creepy for a long time, and there was a body of a murder victim found in the abandoned Subway a few months before the filming started.

The Carpet At This Arcade

Skating rink , arcade or theater this carpet was in all of them back then 🖤
In just a decade, people saw tremendous technological progress, from “Nokia” to the first search engine “Google”. New creations made people anxious including the infamous "Millennium Bug”. Millions feared an internet crash on New Year’s Eve of 2000, believing systems couldn't correctly interpret the transition to the year '00' and potentially causing civilization to crumble. At midnight almost nothing happened bringing relief to everyone.
Paul Saffo, a professor at Stanford University, says that the Y2K crisis didn’t happen because programmers started preparing for it a decade in advance while people weren’t aware of it. Incidents like U.S. spy satellites that stopped working for days prove that if no steps were taken to address them, the potential damage might have been much worse.

I was there! Remember people throwing clumps of dirt in the air until Eddie Vedder got angry?!
Ignoring fears for technology, people continued to fight for their rights. In the early ’90s, the third wave of feminism empowered women to live life however they wanted, and have more freedom to express their sexuality through speech, clothes, and actions. At the same time, black people in the US received important positions as mayors, members of Congress, and leaders in medicine, sports, and academia. However, such achievements were often costly; protests for black rights frequently led to violence, arrests, theft, and arson.

Although This Is Star Trek, There Is Clearly An Early 90's Influence
From Wikipedia: "Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG) is an American science fiction television series created by Gene Roddenberry. It originally aired from September 28, 1987, to May 23, 1994, in syndication, spanning 178 episodes over seven seasons. "

'90s nostalgia is experiencing a long-lasting comeback compared to any other decade. Psychologist Erica Hepper suggests that feelings of nostalgia peak twice in life: in young adulthood and again in old age. For young adults, it helps to deal with transitions, as they’re just moving away from home or starting their new careers. Millennials, like other generations, look back on memories of holidays, pets, and life in school, seeking nostalgia and comfort. Nowadays, the surge of ‘90s nostalgia is fully embraced online in a way previous generations couldn’t.

Borders Book Store In Highland, Indiana (1997)
Borders was the BEST. Way better than Barnes and Noble. Worked in the children's section in the 90s.

My job was to change the menu strips and ad inserts. They were dreadful. Managers were always losing the hex key to open it, so I bought my own, an entire hex set. One manager had to get into it on my day off, called me, and yelled that I had to return *THE* hex key immediately. This would be a 60-mile round trip, unpaid. Told her to look all over the office because I wasn't bringing MY hex key to bail out her problem. When I returned to work, manager had hand-written a sign and taped it to the outside. Problem solved, I guess. They never found the stupid store hex keys, and I wasn't about to leave my set there to join the missing.
I miss regular menus that don't keep changing while I try to read them
Jeez, was it really THAT long ago they ditched the good apple pies for that inferior baked nonsense? (Bonus trivia point: the "dino-size" thing was a promo for the first Jurassic Park movie that spawned the "super size" thing after the promo was over.) With all the information at hand, it's a fair bet that this Mickey D's closed sometime in the last six months of 1993.

Recent movie releases such as Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie”, and brought back fashion trends like Birkenstocks, claw clips, and biker shorts indicate the sneaky comeback of the '90s. Modern music releases often include reworks of the ‘90s hits, giving them a fresh look and pushing them to the top charts. Even in home design, elements like limewash, travertine, and floral wallpaper are making a comeback, inspired by the start of the millennium. Modernized ‘90s trends are returning, filling us with the nostalgic and vintage feel many of us love.
Dear Pandas, are there any ‘90s relics you wish you could bring back?
Early 90's Swatch Watches
I got my youngest a Swatch for Xmas last year. Van Gogh's A starry night. To match the van gogh Lego set of same painting. They have some really cool swatches nowadays
I wore these in middle school in the early 80s. You wore 2 or 3 on the same wrist, scratch bands proving they were a real Swatch and not a Claire’s knock off.

I was always jealous of girls with Lisa Frank folders/notebooks. I always had the plain colored ones because they were cheaper.
you can still buy trapper keepers at Walmart. They don't look as cool as the old ones though.

This Depiction Of 2020 On A 27 Year Old School Folder
Well, he’s completely by himself eating junk food, so it was actually a pretty accurate depiction of 2020.
Future style is always just current style with something weird happening on the shoulders.
3D tv, VR headset and goggles is their idea of hanging out, looks like flat screen/curved screen TV along the wall watching sports so multiple screens in the same room, and as 80 Van said, alone and eating junk food. Someone saw a good part of the future!!!!!!
I find it funny how old views of the future were so far off, they have a certain comedy to them, but our views of the future now are just entirely bleak. Now that we aren't totally blindsided by new tech coming out every 3 to 6 months, people with any kind of understanding realize just how complacent we were
Seeing as how 2020 left most of us alone in our little bubbles...this is pretty accurate.

I'd kill for that car. Even today. This car never went through the "it's just plain old" phase.
Actually one of the very few examples of good car design from this decade, along with the dodge viper and some Porsches, the 90s was a dad time for car design.
Had a friend that was well over 6 ft, this was the only sportscar he could fit into.
Was going to say nice rice burner and then realized just how racist that is, we were super racist in the 90's, not much better now.
I am definitely a fan of the more rounded body styles that many cars had in the 90's, compared to the boxy body styles we have today. My first car was a black 98 Mitsubishi Eclipse, best body style they've had imo. Today the Mitsubishi Eclipse is a crossover SUV from a 2 door sportscar. 🤦♀️

A quick search suggests you're in for a very tough time. These seem to have been pretty low-volume production in the first place, possibly quite expensive (there's no pricing info I could find but the repeated references to being manufactured in Monza added with the artistic design suggests this pretty strongly), I can't even find an archive reference to one being sold via major sites like eBay, and the only evidence I could find of anyone actually having possession of one currently is a museum.

Not an electronics store, that's a record store - almost certainly HMV. I don't think it's Our Price or Virgin Megastore as they tended to have a lot of red in their design.
It was a Virgin Megastore. Main competitor of HMV. More photos in the source link to Reddit. Spent many happy hours browsing the Virgin Megastore in my nearest shopping centre as a child.
Probably legit description and just BARELY nineties; that B52's album was UK-Euro-JP release only, 1990 - a "best of" comp that predates what's now their best known stuff like Love Shack, Roam, etc. The only song on it most folks would even recognize is "Rock Lobster - and its on the new release wall, and all the signage is in English. It was re-released in 2016. Also the fact everything's in all three formats definitely sets it super early 90s - by 94 vinyl had basically ceased to exist at retail. That's the only cover I can identify the artist on from this.
The Arby's At Christiana Mall, Circa 2006. This Whole Food Court Was Replaced By A New One And Demolished Around 2009
Not sure it's what BP is trying to achieve but lately they're giving me lots of nice reddit sites to join :-)
Has anyone ever seen the movie Flashback with Keifer Sutherland and Dennis Hooper? The movie is about a CIA agent who is bringing a hippy fugitive to DC. Anyways, Dennis' character and Kiefer become friends at the end of the flick and says this incredible line- "Once we get out of the 1980's, the 1990's are going to make the 1960's look like the 1950's." I changed it to, "Once we got into 2020, the aughts made the 1990's look like the 1950's. "
I forgot how truly garish design was in the 90s. My eyes hurt.
