Thats fucking beautiful lmao
Yeah cassette futurism is an aesthetic subgenre of retrofuturism that imagines a SciFi future where the capabilities of technology are greater but its still has the construction and aesthetic of tech from the era of cassettes
So like the way theyre still using CRTs and magnetic tape media in Blade Runner but they can zoom and enhance, there are androids that mimic humans, and they have flying cars
Its SciFi but the technology that powers the future is frozen in time, like with steam punk, atom punk, and disel punk
There's a more active cassette futurism comm, I didn't realize this was a different one and is empty: cassettefuturism@lemmy.world
And its predecessor from before lemm.ee shut down cassettefuturism@lemm.ee
They were created in the image of a reddit sub by the same name. Any would give some examples of what cassette futurism looks like- that being said I'm delighted I saw this lol. You could also share this on one of the Loops comms if you haven't already and would like to :)
