xxp well, it’s ’89, when this aesthetic was in full “flower” (sorry) – and it has that “kids who grew up in the ’70s using hippie-style graphics” vibe. I guess there is a little Haring in there, too

(much as I hate to give a certain resident floridian the satisfaction of using the term "pappy bush interzone," I do sort of think of '88-'91/'92 as embodying this particular look)

I mentioned the Meat Puppets upthread but thinking about it I feel there's a whole bunch of 3rd tier records that came out in the mid 80s on SST and Homestead that have this look - Antietam 'Music From Elba', Das Damen 'Jupiter Eye', releases by Alter Natives, Phantom Tollbooth, Gone, Happy Flowers etc - all part of the whole DIY look that went a little more overground when grunge broke. But you could also trace it back to 'Music From Big Pink', Dylan's 'Self Portrait' and 'Planet Waves'
