If I had a time machine, I would time travel from the late 1990s to the early 2000s (between 1998 and 2003).
That time period fascinates me because it was close to the time befoere I was born, and also the time I spend my very early childhood. I also like the technology and the aesthetics of the time, since that was right at the end of the analog age.
The Internet was already popular and I like the aesthetics of those old Web 1.0 sites and the sound of dialup modems; I like the look of CRT televisions and VHS recordings; '90s UNIX workstations and Linux desktop environments like CDE and early KDE; music genres like hip hop, UK garage, house and jungle were at its height like Daft Punk and Todd Edwards; there were video games likes the N64, OG PlayStation, the Dreamcast, the first Pokémon games, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, those plug-and-play NES clones; cartoons like Dexter's Lab, the Powerpuff Girls, Ren & Stimpy, Cat & Dog, Cow & Chicken, Beavis & Butthead, classic Spongebob and Futurama; anime like classic Pokémon, Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Bubblegum Crisis, Neon Genesis Evangelion; Power Rangers, Jurassic Park, Toy Story, the X Files; Disney movies like Hercules, Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, Pocahontas, The Little Mermaid, The Rescuers Down Under, Lion King; soap operas and telenovelas; and I like Gen X youth culture.
The '90s had this dark feverish dream aesthetic. It's the reason why I like FaceAndLMS videos because it has that aesthetic of watching an old retrofuturistic documentary late at night in the dark on a CRT. I also like to look at old pictures from those times as well since the people kinda look a like but yet the technology and fashion are different.
And it also reminds me of my early childhood which was the only time I was truly happy, seeing my mom and my aunts when they were still very young and going to malls, back when my house had carpet flooring and an iMac G3 and playing on my Game Boy Color while hiding under pillows for fun and going outside to walks to the playground.
