'90s Armani Looks Even Better Now

In the early '90s, Giorgio Armani knocked the stuffing out of the '80s power suit—and created an eternally cool uniform for right now.

Someone sent me a clip from the original Judge Dredd earlier and it's interesting how you can now instantly tell a film is from the 90s. (Or is that just me knowing it was from the 90s?)

In the 90s that style was invisible but it's becoming more and more visible with each passing year.

I probably couldn't describe it - it's the way it's filmed, the costumes, the dialogue/comedy style, etc.

The soundtrack, too... All very 90s, that film would never be made like this now. (Leaving aside the obvious comparison, Dredd)

Yes, excellent observation. Sega were trying to tap into this 90s semi-future mythology but blew it by not being able to play DVDs

I still think this is the most futuristic game of all time

Why is so much electronic music in video games better than in actual electronic music releases...?

 

[shiels]

maybe because they’re built to brief for a particular world or theme

 

[gremino]

Yeah, aiming strictly for certain vibe may explain why some VG tracks have so strong vibe, instead the blandness of average electronic music track.
