local band CD bin at a record store in the 90s?

overall this is a p bad year for album art!
― Mississippi Butt Hurt (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 12 April 2012 18:55 (twelve years ago) link
But probably a good year for purposefully bad album art.

the aesthetic is called "sea punk"

― ♆ (gr8080), Thursday, 12 April 2012 19:15 (twelve years ago) link
Basically another branding of nostalgia. It's funny cos i read mentions of Seapunk somewhere but only just now realized when i was a kid in the late 80s/early 90s i went through a phase with my brothers were our clothes were like really neon colors and tropical themed and completely stupid. I didn't get the reference cos I just never thought that style was worth digging up. How wrong i was.
Sounds more or less like the 2012 equiv to the 2008 hipster jackass that wears headbands everywhere.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 12 April 2012 19:23 (twelve years ago) link
i wouldn't call the pictureplane cover seapunk, to me it seems pretty standard '11 net art style whereas seapunk is mostly met with eye rolls even within the net art community

No, i thought that was gross, cos it only changed colors after you sweated all over it.
