A community for sharing and discussing art, aesthetics, and music relating to '80s, '90s, and '00s retro microgenres and also art in general now!
Some cool genres and aesthetics include:
- outrun
- vaporwave
- mallsoft
- future funk
- city pop
- synthwave
- laborwave
If you are unsure if a piece of media is on theme for this community, you can make a post asking if it fits. Discussion posts are encouraged, and particularly interesting topics will get pinned periodically.
No links to a store page or advertising. Links to bandcamps, soundclouds, playlists, etc are fine.

damn never seen this Cricut thing before. pretty dope
They're really cool, but one of those things that have been sold to people as like "Everybody should have this, start your own business doing customizable stickers and things. Buy all the accessories! You'll use it all the time!" Like yeah, they'd go really well in a neighborhood tool library or a makerspace, but there a ton of them sitting in homes just collecting dust.
My friends and family:
part of the reason they're gathering dust is because they're not quite as capable as they seem at first glance, they're notoriously finicky and buggy, and the Cricut company is utterly shameless when it comes to milking their customers.
(mine also mostly gathers dust, but it was a gift, not an "investment")
Indeed, it's also quite a bit of work pulling all those pieces out. I'm not sure I'd have the patience for something like that.
