[indent]Retro-futurism is an avant-garde artistic movement centralized around viewing the future through the eyes of the past, via art, literature, architecture, fashion, or film. It seeks to represent the anticipation of what might be to come, capturing those precious moments of wonder and excitement before a great reveal. The, "can you imagine?" And, "what if?" And, "how cool would that be?" All encapsulated into something which feels familiar and yet entirely new. It explores the relationship between yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

It's bowling alley carpeting and the smell of a pool on the first day of summer vacation, or an almost forgotten song playing on the radio. Imagine staring out the window of 3rd period English waiting for the bell to ring. Think, "Only you can prevent forest fires." Remember.

This movement serves as a visual link between “what is” and “what may be.” Striving for the future while also stubbornly reaching back into the past for inspiration and guidance. The Miami sunset is a classic feature of this aesthetic, as are neon and magenta grid patterns. The essence of night life.

Oftentimes this movement acts as the future or present reflecting upon the past, only to poke and prod at it’s perceived faults. Inspired by the rise of the personal computer and the age of technology, triangles, “glitch” effects, technological symbols and/or logos often appear in this aesthetic as do classical statues. Tends to feature an overall “haze” effect, with transitional lighting or full sun [b]Film:[/b] Virtuosity (1995), Drive (2011) [b]Music:[/b] Chillwave [nextcol][img]https://i.imgur.com/nNOjoW3.gif[/img][/columns] [columns][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/oNsliEZ.png[/img][/center] [center][b][size="4"][color=#00F000]CYBERPUNK[/color][/size][/b][/center][nextcol][color=transparent]_[/color]Essentially, an amalgamation of the other two aesthetics, but with a gritty plot twist. The future is grim, technology is overtaking the usefulness of humanity, and oftentimes works from this movement tend to express some form of political unrest. The iconic image of a cyborg smoking a cigarette or the robot taxi driver fall into this aesthetic, which asks the viewer to dig deep to discover their own answers to problematic questions. Think of this aspect of the aesthetic as a “slice of life” variation, ranging from dark to light and all levels in between.
