This Website Randomly Generates A '90s Festival Bill And Plays Live Footage

The internet can be a truly wonderful place. Away from the echo chambers and toxicity of constant social media use, there are innovative minds at work, creating brief distractions for music lovers across the world.

One such time-sucking project is the 90s Festival Generator, which does exactly what it says on the tin. Using technical wizardry and probable magic, the website randomly generates a two-day festival bill of bands who played a UK festival in the 1990s (in a style not too dissimilar to classic Reading & Leeds posters). But that's not all: if you click a band's name, it plays you some archive live footage too.

The ordering of bands isn't done at random, though. Bands are ordered by their present day popularity on Spotify, "so blame Spotify users if you think someone shouldn't be top of the bill" reads the site by way of disclaimer.

Below are just some of the line-ups generated for us (over hours of watching '90s festival footage). You've got to admit, they all look pretty wild.
