I'm not a lot older than her and have a similar fondness for that æsthetic. While it's true I didn't fully experience it, a lot of late 90's sites were still online, more or less untouched, in the late 2000's, so they were there to be appreciated even though they were a relic by then. At that time, IE stagnation was still a thing, and MIDI playback was still in browsers, so the 2008 experience of a 1998 site was probably fairly authentic.
