The technique comes first, followed by the subject, scene, details and aspect ratio. Paste it straight into an image model and swap in your own subject.

Early CCD digital camera look, direct on-camera flash, strong highlight bloom with purple fringing, visible noise in the shadows, white balance slightly green, vignetted corners, an orange date stamp in the lower right. A karaoke booth late at night: three friends squeeze together making peace signs at the camera, beer and microphones scattered across the table. 4:3, casual framing like a snapshot, no modern HD look.

Adding noise without changing the highlights looks like a filter.
A color cast so strong the faces turn green.

The key is highlight bloom and purple fringing, not just lowering the sharpness.
