"Many of the more progressive art movements of the 1990s actually began in the 1980s. Some of these include transgressive art, street art, and activist art, and using art as a cultural critique. Art often was inspired by the negative views and attitudes that young artists in the 1990s had about the 1980s and the values that were espoused during that decade.
There were a few key characteristics seen throughout famous 90s art style designs. Generally, however, these were some of the key qualities of the 90s aesthetic:
- Vibrant colors: bright yellow, pink, purple, fluorescent green, cerulean blue, neon lasers. All these colors were applied to patterns for a bold and eye-catching effect in 90s graphics.
- Abstract shapes: bold, abstract, geometric shapes were standard in the 90s aesthetic. Patterns like polka dots were applied everywhere from clothing to famous 90s art. "
