Had this conversation with a kid a while ago:
Kid:“Did they have color back then?”
Me: “When?”
Kid:”Back in the 90s”
The 90s did, but a long time ago the world was b&w
We nothing but color, mostly the worst ones.
Next time, look up “Memphis Group” and show kids the over-stimulating chaos that dominated at the time (especially on Nickelodeon.)
'During the first half of the 90s every music video was in black and white at 15 fps, the second half everything was oversaturated and shot through a fisheye lense.'
