There’s a fashion maxim that you should look at designer magazines from 15 years ago. 15 years is about half a fashion cycle so you see the goods in their least flattering light.
Today that would roughly correspond to looking at Windows Mobile CE interfaces or OSX Panther/Safari 1.0. Anything older and it starts coming back into fashion.
The rise of windows 95 ＡＥＳＴＨＥＴＩＣ a couple of years ago and now this seems to confirm a trend. Certainly so, if you thrown in some art projects like Windows ‘93, recent fashion and music trends around vaporwave and reinterest in PC-9800 emulation.
Love it.

Everyone is copying the typefaces and color schemes from the magazines which came in the 70's. >The rise of windows 95 ＡＥＳＴＨＥＴＩＣ Most of the kids with the ＡＥＳＴＨＥＴＩＣ meme didn't even use Windows 98 or be even aware of computers. I remember w9x not as a fashion trend, but as a shitty os with a nightmare to manage in order to not crashing while intalling a driver. Installing games took ages, and viruses were a real thing. Also, everything was shareware. Libre software and Linux/BSD were not known outside academics except at very late 90's. If they knew and be alive into that, they woudn't be so fake nostalgical.
