Tangentially related but what's the name of the style that this website uses? I see it a lot recently. It's kind of retro-Y2K, it's got icons with big thick lines, lots of movement (spinning elements, tickers), a wide title font, background blurring on fixed elements and lots of gradients.

Hello! Thank you, glad you liked it! I'm from the AI Team but I already sent your question to our web dev team and they will answer to you pretty soon.
I know what you mean, seen it a lot lately. It’s sort of a blend between modern white space-heavy hero-page style layout and Web 1.0 geocities chaos.

Dropbox Design is a good example:

The first website I remember using this style is Ableton (https://www.ableton.com/). They built it many years ago.
That's true! I remember that!
Haha yeah, that's getting trendy. But to be honest, this style reminds me of the 90's like you said and it matches perfectly the street art and retro style you'll find in Brick Lane, where we have our London office: http://www.sundayupmarket.co.uk/

One of our co-founders and Artist Director is actually a street artist, so many inspiration from there :-)

The dropbox design page looks like Neubrutalism to me, but the OP link almost seems like something else. Hard to say.
I think this one is just vaporwave inspired?
Far from vaporware, we're more like a steam machine full power mode ;-)
