1996 Video Music Awards — Golden Groove
Coming soonArchive note
Promotional poster for a fictional 1996 MTV-style awards ceremony produced by Golden Groove Productions and Disco Fever Studios, distributed through Retro Sonic Records. The design conflates late-90s MTV branding with analog media nostalgia — VHS grain, cassette tape, vintage television set, and platform footwear — suggesting an alternate history where retro aesthetics dominated mainstream music television. The Chinese text ("復古之夜" / Retro Night, "精彩不容錯過" / Don't Miss the Spectacle) implies regional programming or a lost international broadcast. Collects the detritus of three overlapping eras simultaneously. Appeals to archivists of counterfactual media and those tracking impossible MTV chronologies.
