I like it! But how would you describe this one? This collection is meant more for tight/inspired themes. But I also included https://bootstra386.com/ which is on the edge too so I'm not against including this

Geocities is infamous.

ohhh that's what the geo is in reference to. Awesome, thanks!

Still a bit of a gray area because there's not set "geocities" or "myspace" style, but I'll include stuff like this for now

That Bootstra386 reminds me of the Mosaic web browser. Not sure if that was the "feeling" behind it, but it feels like the early internet days.

Wow, this takes me back! I remember visiting pages like this in the early 90's while rendering fractals in Fractint. I remember following a bunch of Geocities pages that looked at Pink Floyd's The Division Bell album, and there being a hidden meaning. Turned out to be created by the record company, but as a high schooler on the early internet, I was fascinated with it.
