What should I add to my '90s website?

So I'm currently toying around with NeoCities, and decided to trial it by building your classic mid '90s Geocities/Tripod/Angelfire pastiche website.

Some of the most important elements are already in place.

Tile background? Large font? Heading in bright pink with a shadow? Unusual colour choices? Random cat gifs? Under construction gif? Check! Check! Check!

In the true spirit of the '90s DIY web, some more pages (including the links page) are coming soon.

(I'm thinking of adding a page dedicated to either Britney or a nu-metal band.)

You can see the page so far here: https://that90ssite.neocities.org/

There are a few things that I want to add to make it complete, and I'm looking for suggestions.

The first, is to embed a midi file that plays automatically. Any suggestions on the best way of doing this?

Second, it's just not going to be complete without a guestbook.

Third, any webring suggestions?

Fourth, what's the best way of adding a java chat room in 2024?

Finally, anything else that really needs to be a part of a great '90s website?

UPDATE: Thanks for all the feedback! I've added more annoying GIFs, a guestbook, a links page, and a cyber cat hangout.

UPDATE 2: And added even more gifs, an amazing Amiga demo, and a ton of links.

Difficult for a job ad to have a red flag in every sentence, but not impossible apparently.

I made this meme for a post in another social network, and I will throw it here.

It was this garbage social network that awesome a decade ago. It tripped over itself and the tyrant running the place made decisions including shooting himself in the foot. Very nice guy, if you’re his banker. Anywho I recognize it from the alien in the middle.

Jk idk what that is either.

They will all die out eventually but not fediverse

What about instances like queer.af which the literal Taliban took down? I mean I know echos of their content remain, but do their initial posts?

Even my own instance which is amazing in every way possible but has a habit of being unusable for a few days every couple months seems susceptible to quick digital evaporation.
