Thank you for visiting ERG Big Event cyberspace.
The Big Event 2025 aesthetic is inspired by the Y2K dial up decades of the 1990s and 2000s. Current ERG students requested we not merely focus on the past but remember the present and future. Not only is 1990-2010 the center of ERG's history, it is also a major source of aesthetic inspiration for Gen Z, the current ERG student generation; hence, we reference The Matrix, pixelated gifs, and Y2K music. Don't forget to enjoy our ERG Big Event 2025 Playlists on YouTube Music & Spotify. Also, if you haven't already, click on our retro homepage's random gifs above for secret links. (One of the fun things I liked to do when constructing websites in the early 2000s.)
