#32Aside from the Cowboy Bebop nostalgia hit, this site is a great example of how clear, creative, and fun sites were in the late 1990s. While I struggle to identify the many reasons why I think sites looked better back then, I think being simple and content focused are two of them.
Winamp skins!

#34As soon as I saw the page, I started wondering how Emily designed this effect of the menu merging with the image back then. Turns out it's just cropped images carefully placed together - check the source code yourself. Only then was I able to start noticing the imperfections of this implementation, but it really puts in perspective how our web design has changed over the years.

#35CB delivered a truly potent and high-quality vibe-in-the-round. A fully featured artifact. Best modern equivalent: Chainsaw Man.
Chainsaw Man is wasted potential. Feels very wrong directly comparing these two.

Huh I hadn’t thought of comparing the two, but I think you’re onto something.
I’d always equated chainsaw man with FLCL, due to the similar themes of chaos, beauty and youth nihilism

To be fair, for 1999, this is an all around fantastic site.

We also used to use image maps for this kind of thing, at least once that tag became available. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/ma...
