Rewinded cassettes, the "grey" Gameboy, and stacks of pogs: we’re in the 90s, trading disco colors for a torn t-shirt, more in tune with grunge.
The major ideologies of the 70s laid the foundations for a new social era, but the world continues to struggle, and the new aspirations fail to shake off a sense of illusion or resignation.
A serious lightness settles in, reverberating in the aesthetics of DIY (do it yourself): from Nirvana’s "garage" to Sonic Youth, it’s all in the Walkmans, and American independent cinema is flourishing, made with limited resources.
The rise of the internet encourages these creations on the margins of existing circuits and big studios...
Damien Chazelle (2014)
