Post a perfect album from the 90’s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains.
Album cover for „The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move... It's the Infectious Grooves“ (1991) by The Infectious Grooves. Cartoonish green characters representing the band in urban clothing, graffiti-style text of album title and band name, city skyline in background.

Still from The Holy Mountain (1973), dir. Alejandro Jodorowsky. A figure dressed in white, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a gold medallion, sits on a chair. Their face is partly obscured by the hat, and they have long, light-colored hair. Two goats with black and white fur stand on their hind legs on either side, appearing almost human-like. The background is a stark yellow wall with black and white columns framing the composition.

Still one of my favorites
Screenshot of two tweets. The first, by Katie Hopkins (@KTHopkins), reads: “This is how it feels to be a white conservative woman.” The image shows Katie Hopkins with a target symbol edited on her forehead. The second tweet, by cherry juul pod (@DISRESPECT), responds: “I actually love this metaphor because it’s a fake target and you’ve put it there yourself.”

A very young Al Pacino (in Dog Day Afternoon, 1975) as bank robber Sonny Wortzik wearing a formal suit and nervously holding an old-fashioned rifle inside a bank vault area. Al Pacino again, as Tony Montana (in Scarface, 1983) blasting an automatic rifle during a shoot-out, wearing a dark suit and a white, blood-stained shirt.

Brewster's Millions
Screengrab from Brewster's Millions (1985): Two men with shocked expressions in a lively bar scene. The man on the left (Richard Pryor) in a baseball jersey and cap, mouth open in surprise. The man on the right (John Candy) in a Hawaiian shirt, also with mouth open wide. Dimly lit background with other bar patrons and a hanging lamp overhead.

*applies to both the central character and the director of the film
Andy Griffith as “Lonesome” Rhodes in A Face in the Crowd (1957, dir. Elia Kazan). Close-up of a man with a wide, intense open-mouthed expression, head tilted slightly back. Crowd blurred in the background, suggesting an audience. High contrast lighting emphasizes his features and creates a dramatic, almost manic intensity.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last tv show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?
Poe (played by Chris Conner) from the science fiction series Altered Carbon: Man in vintage-style attire with a mustache, holding a shotgun in one hand and a glass of whiskey in the other as if toasting the viewer. Dimly lit background with wooden cabinet and decorative key hooks. Moody lighting, intense expression, and 19th-century aesthetic.

In this case, turned into a literal cartoon villain in a very thinly veiled protrayal as a cavalry martinet.
Cover of Les Tuniques Bleues No. 35, titled Captain Nepel, published in 1993, featuring a cartoonish depiction of a stern Union cavalry officer with an eyepatch, walking arrogantly through fort gates. Two soldiers stand to the right: one is red-faced with anger and being restrained by the other. In the background, a Native American scout, an African American army cook, and a figure presumably of Chinese descent in stereotypical attire walk out the gate, glancing back at Nepel with distrust (the depictions of these three POC are themselves clichéd and caricatured). The title character’s name, “Nepel,” is an anagram of “Le Pen,” referencing the far-right French politician and reflecting the villainous portrayal of the officer. The comic was written by scenarist Raoul Cauvin and drawn by artist Willy Lambil.

Poster for The Parallax View (1974) directed by Alan J. Pakula and starring Warren Beatty. The design features a stark, minimalist look, dominated by an abstract visual. At the top, there’s a fragmented, maze-like structure that appears to be breaking apart, with pieces of it floating or falling away. Below this, the silhouette of a man is shown falling head-first, creating a sense of disorientation or danger. The tagline at the top reads, “Things Are Never What They Seem When Seen Through The Parallax View.”.
