I get what you're saying that '90s-style content is largely still there if you look for it, but this...

...which is harder now because there’s so much more garbage...

...has nevertheless destroyed the "Internet as it existed back then," which was specifically an Internet where finding such content was easy.

You can find a lot of old school websites hosted on neocities, though a lot of them are more of an art project than an actual website.
