I have fond memories of creating images with Grunge fonts in some pirated copy of Photoshop and then positioning them with HTML tables and Dreamweaver.

  Those were good times in a lot of ways! Also I may be an outlier, but IMO grunge as a textural expression still benefits lots of contemporary design projects. In fact if you know how to work within broader principles of design, maybe you stop caring as much about what's current, because that's just one of many outcomes that may or may not be appropriate for the message...

  This is how I learned web development. Don't forget photoshopping the glossiest buttons possible. Not sure if that fad was before or after the grunge.

    Gloss was a trend in the mid 2000s, if I remember correctly—around the same time that AJAX started becoming really popular

      Web 2.0. Such a bright outlook in those days :)

      It spilled over into the real world as well. I remember every electronic device being glossy black.
