Typefaces/Font Styles by Decade

for typefaces were weren't quite there yet, as for music videos it was def in it tho

Yeah, in the 80s there was more use of traditional or standard fonts with a thicker, boxier, bolder or larger feel, or airbrushed, handwritten, customized lettering/collage. kind of carried through to the early 90s. Not everything was digital, a lot of phototypesetting and handdrawn letters were used, which gave it a different character.

In the early 90s it was kind of the same you had more stretched and extended fonts which are unacceptable today, and also scribbly handwritten fonts, experimental, funky and warped fonts including early cheesy digital experimental fonts which are partially influenced by grunge and late 80s experimental graphic design by emigre and Neville brody but were kind of already there in 87-1988ish just more visible.


By 1992-1993 you start to see the first use of modern futuristic digital fonts in 97-01. But mid 90s was similar to early 90s, with more grunge influence in various things but you also start seeing more basic computer fonts used that are too basic and common by today’s standards and more typical “experimental” fonts pass but also more futuristic digital font slowly increasing in 1994-1996. 

Late 90s a big drop of grunge and funky core 90s fonts, despite some of it sticking around, and increase of simple and digital fonts. The use of Helvetica typeface and similar style that would popular in the 2000s pops up around this time.

Very very late 90s (or Y2K imo) Everything is super digital, bubbly or modular. Barely anything traditionally 90s. This lasts until 2001-2002 as a very popular design trend but somewhat continues into the 2000s along with other trends.

2002 is when that bling aesthetic comes into play. 
Late 2003 is when the old English font becomes more common.


 

God, that font was everything in 2003. Case in point:

Don't forget in the 2000s there was a bunch of 70s revival fonts.

What you're describing sounds an awful lot like this: www.are.na/consumer-aesthetics-research-institute/corporate-gen-x-cyber

When it comes to tech, mid 2000s through early 2010s was all about Humanist fonts like Frutiger and Segoe, whilst the mid 2010s onward has been about Geometric fonts like Product Sans.
Also, one noteworthy trend I've noticed, during the mid-2010s, there was a trend towards very thin fonts, whilst the late 2010s switched to very thick fonts. The iOS logo is a prime example:
