Give a suburban 10-12 yr old kid access to a computer, nearly unlimited access to internet (getting kicked off when parents use landline), and infinite time, and you get that “crazy design aesthetic”. I remember using the view source tool on various pages that people created and tweaking it as my own. The blinking and marquee tags were littered everywhere with a green and black matrix theme. And a marijuana leaf somewhere because I was feeling edgy af. Just hacking away via brute force until I got it just right.
