what say you?

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Like it could have only been made in the 90s? Yeah probably a Kevin Smith movie. I would say Clerks or sumpin

Hackers is a good choice too. Good one tommy

Feels like it should definitely be a more "independent" movie... but I'm not sure Mallrats is it.

Could be, or it could be what captures the 90s (Clerks would be for me).

Or what influenced the 90s aesthetic, which in that case I think it's The Matrix, or maybe The Crow. Blade?

EDM Industrial, trenchcoats, wrap around shades, black leather, goth, kung fu...swords...

this is a very white male-centric aesthetic (so is Mallrats)

We can think about this all day but probably it's Pulp Fiction, because it's obsessed with the 70s, set the template for a whole bunch of movies that followed, and had a Black co-star but still was liberal in its use of the N-word

Nobody started dressing like Sam Jackson though.

I feel like they capture a bit of that late 90s rap video vibe. Slick and shiny with lots of blacks.

damnit thats 2001. but still... kinda representative.

[LoathedVermin72]

I associate that Y2K aesthetic with like 1998-2003, so definitely wouldn't consider that to be "the most '90s" vibe.

Empire Records and Singles come to mind.
