I'd say the modern age is actually pretty aesthetic.

It has minimalist high tech yet classic styles are appreciated, in a strange mix.

Why did everything in the 1920s use this fucking font?

>>372311
17th century France, 13th-15th centuries Italy, 7th-5th centuries BC Greece, 2nd century BC -1st century AD Rome. The rest is noise.

80s definitely has a retro appeal to it.

>>372311
The 80s is comfy as fuck. Had just the right balance of futuristic optimism and actual technology. Plus the big hair thing was awesome.

>>373204
it had the best movies too. That might be a nostalgia thing though.

>That might be a nostalgia thing though
it is
after a marathon watching Fox Classics i realized there was a lot of 50s nostalgia in the 80s, at least in movies and music
but yeah, "where's muh domestic robots and hoverboards" right?

>>373243
I sorta miss that earnest feeling in action movies. I just watched Rambo part 2 and 3, and having them blow up gommies and not have any moral dilemma was refreshing.

First Blood is still the GOAT though/

>>372419
Vaporwave has nothing to do with 80s actually, it's more based on the idiotic 90s web 1.0 esthetics and combined with utterly nonsensical memes.

New retro / synthwave is where the true 80s fetishism is and it's more rooted in the budget action films than actual 80s lifestyles.

If you want to listen to 80's music, just listen to 80's music.

Synthwave is definitely better than vaporwave/futurefunk/a e s t h e t i c memery.

Jeasus, I want one of them as a mother to me.

>>373254
yeah, Rambo is the shit
and now that you mention it, Lethal Weapon and many other movies wouldn't have the same impact if the main charas aren't Viet war veterans

>>373267
new retro synthwave is anachronic though. the drum beats they use are from 2000, compare your video to this original:

I love synthwave and horror synth because even though I was born in '86 and never really experienced the 80s on my own, I still grew up on watching all those meme action and horror films so listening to this kind of music is an immense nostalgia trip. Not even trying to be a hipster or anything, it just happens to deliver some warm fuzzy feels.

There's even new retro films catering to precisely this sort of audience, like It Follows or The Guest.

They're not supposed to be precise reconstruction of 80s music tho, they're just inspired by them.

well, they call their style "synthwave", they should either choose a new name or respect the original? they are their own thing after all

btw i googled that in the 80s there was a transition between modernist and postmodernist architecture. i had to google it to make sure because i remember my hometown being modernist as fuck. many houses and buildings had that "golden rectangle" thing going on all the time

>>373390
>they call their style "synthwave
That's the same of logic as saying all hiphop that doesn't sound like Run DMC isn't real hiphop.

Totally agree with this. Quit jacking off to synthwave and start listening to Italo Disco and/or EBM

I hate to admit it, but Haussmann's work leaves Paris unmatched in terms of aesthetic.

>futuristic
anon, the 80's a retro by definition

but seriously, i kinda liked those horrible russian mega constructions, constuctivism i think
