Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
I can't find a good singular example, but the 90s seemed to be fond of a sort of ironic tackiness in album covers. Evoking things like self-aware marketing-styled imagery, cut-and-paste style collages, etc. in an almost sarcastic way to show how indie/non-corporate they were.

I'm probably repeating myself, but early 90s album covers in the Alternative vein, feel like they were someone's high school or early college art projects that were intentionally faking a semi-sarcastic campy imagery by channeling low-fi artiste pretension.

By the end of the 90s, though, they were they were no longer intentionally faking it.
