As impractical as it was, I miss a lot of the 1980s "futuristic" aesthetic.

When people talk about retrofuturism, they tend to be talking about 1950s or earlier, stuff like Googie or earlier.

But I liked the 1980s "look of the future". Red LEDs all over. Bank Gothic. Synthwave. Synthpop. Vacuum-fluorescent displays. Glowy, light-on-black stuff..

You would also love the term Cassette Futurism. Very star wars analog futuristic vibe
