1996 Video Music Awards — Retro Sonic
Available · one owner onlyArchive note
Promotional poster for a fictional 1996 MTV-style video music awards ceremony produced by Golden Groove Productions and Disco Fever Studios. The design synthesizes late-1990s graphic aesthetics with deliberate retro references: cassette tapes, wood-paneled television, platform shoes, and warm earth-tone textiles. The Chinese language text reads '1996 Music Television Awards' and 'Retro Sonic Records —精彩不容错过' (Don't miss the excitement), suggesting an alternate-history broadcast event that bridged East Asian pop culture and Western MTV nostalgia. Collectors of lost television ephemera and '90s design will recognize the blend of genuine period typography with the archive's characteristic uncanny plausibility.
