  • Apparently we have seen many movies and science fiction series with this style but it seems that maybe we did not realize the name of it. Tell me what you think of her below in the comments, I hope you liked the video.

    Casette futurism made me realize how cooler Analog is than Digital tech.

    Growing up in the 80s, I felt this was the future we were promised. The future we got along with what appears likely still to come aren't leaving me very hopeful.

    Casette futurism is one of the main aesthetic influences that helped creating the Cyberpunk aesthetic

    Found you while looking for cassette futurism, the aesthetic is really underrated.

    That was an excellent video, thank you. Really agree that it's a really specific aesthetic that doesn't get enough recognition.

    I have an odd fondness for cassette tapes and floppy disks and otherwise blocky forms of data storage in retro futurisms over usb drives.

      Having been forced to use floppy disks up through high school, I don’t share that view lol.

    I love this aesthetic. it's like an early 80s futurism i guess what they would think the late 90s and 2000s would look like. It looked like the future we were headed into at the time...but like everything it wasn't the future that we got. It's got that alien tech aesthetic...as well as Star Wars influences

    A past idea of a future society that didn't come. I love it as most artwork of the genre was optimistic about society. Makes Even more nostalgic as society has not improved.

    Hello everyone, both those who have subscribed to my channel and those who just go to watch the videos. You may wonder why I've been missing for almost 3 years. Well, during the last years I have gone through many things, I did not have it easy during 2019 and part of 2020, my 2021 was a year of much meditation and self-discovery, and this 2022 I have been very busy, I got a job and I am studying a career.
    if you are a sub you may remember that there were a few videos on the channel before. These I decided to put in private for personal reasons. I also left social networks because they distracted me a lot from my studies, at the same time that I could no longer tolerate the toxcity and extreme politicization of sites like Twitter, FB, and reddit.
    Thank God, today I am better and I continue advancing in my personal life. Maybe one day I'll come back, I feel like doing a gameplay, I don't know when I'll be able to, but I hope that soon.
    Take care I love you all very much, thank you for your support you are valuable people. :)

    A very interesting video, but I had to turn on subtitles to make just a little sense of what you said. I understand your primary language is Spanish, and this isn't meant as a critique, only that you might attract a larger audience if you focus a bit more on your speak. Part of it is perfectly clear, but it's as if every other word is muddled, even to the point that the speech-to-text subtitles become, shall we say, interesting. :-)

      I agree. I just have been calling it retro-futurism as it simp!y is a past prediction of a future. But to label specific aesthetics, "cassette" is good enough tho feels off. the word "punk" has been vastly overused and doesn't apply IMO.
