My favourite website that still has the 90s aesthetic and more-or-less survives is hyperreal.org, website about rave culture

http://hyperreal.org

most of the links even still work. Listen to all these DJ sets! (in a horrible Real Audio codec)

http://djsets.hyperreal.org

See how to be a DJ in 1993!

See some random pictures from 1997!

I am not at all a rave person, yet somehow seeing this website seems so... comfy

Brb: rewatching Modulations

90s web design wasn't just geocities. In fact most web designs were more usable because they were designed only for desktop and almost always a single screen size. And there was no lack of pretty ones, beauty that was less uniform than it is today.

One of my favorite '90s humor sites, RinkWorks Book-A-Minute, is still online. They kept updating until 2012.

My god, Rink works. I remember them having one of the first "Tech Support Humor" sites way back in the day(1997?), and just casual glancing saw updates from around 2020 the pandemic so I guess they're still going.

How did archive.org capture a .cgi page that randomizes random shakespeare jokes?

"Humor" is right.
