I feel like back in the 90s/2000s Oakley, Alienware, Bionicle, etc shared this absolutely PEAK tribal/industrial aesthetic that I have never seen drawn attention to or referenced in any way since.

Is there a name for this trend? It feels too edgy to be Y2K, and too whimsical to be Industrial Gothic. If this is some kind of nameless fusion, I personally dub it "Ancient Aliens".
