Wacky Pomo (1990s)
ca. Early 1990s - Early 2000s
That 'wacky kidz' marketing aesthetic prominent from the late 1980s to the early 2000s, an amalgam of exaggerated motifs pulled from Googie Kitsch, Memphis-Milano, 1940s-60s comics & cartoons, Willy Wonka-esque Victorian whimsical eccentricism (including 'Mad Scientist tropes), cartoonified industrial vernacular, and light gross-out kids' humor. Sometimes other contemporaneous aesthetics like Decoplex or Corporate Gen-X Cyber are incorporated, albeit with a cartoon-ified touch. 'Hypnosis spirals' are a common motif, interesting considering the marketing demographic & controversy around children's marketing during that era.
