### Welcome to Cassette Futurism Lemmy and Mbin Community. A place to share and
discuss Cassette Futurism: media where the technology closely matches the
computers and technology of the 70s and 80s. Whether it’s bright colors and
geometric shapes, the tendency towards stark plainness, or the the lack of
powerful computers and cell phones, Cassette Futurism includes: Cassettes, ROM
chips, CRT displays, computers reminiscent of microcomputers like the Commodore
64, freestanding hi-fi systems, small LCD displays, and other analog
technologies. See this blog [https://martin-fieber.de/blog/cassette-futurism/]

I thought the idea of cassette futurism is to show fictitious retrofuturistic tech. Specifically how 70s and 80s tech would look like in the (far-) future. and not how the actual tech looked in that time period, no matter how futuristic it looked back then.
What i expected to see was Alien and Blade Runner aesthetics and not GameBoy and Commodore. As it is now, it is simply “pictures of old tech”.

Well both are considered Cassette Futurism. It can be just plain old tech.
Even some wiki I found about Cassette Futurism shows NES and Gameboy.
