To me, it implied a bit of the "future is east-asian" styling of Blade Runner. Vertical signage from a digital chinatown. But it also made it seem both familiar and alien to see green phosphor characters fill the screen top to bottom, but with an extra bit of ghosting and smearing as the different columns seemed to flow at different rates. It also reminds of older electronic sign boards of airports and stock markets, with large fields of characters flipping in loosely synchronized ways.
