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.

A three-quarter photo of the car, but it's beige now
A top-down photo of the car, showing it only has three seats with the steering wheel in front of the middle seat
A photo of the back of the car, where is has Karin written between the taillights
A photo of the interior, where the all the console buttons are clustered on the frame around the steering wheel and the steering wheel is shaped like a pie with and missing piece on the bottom
The another photo of the interior but from a front facing angle where you can see the instrument cluster looks like a crt television screen
A concept car from 1980, design by Trevor Fiore

Sometimes you've got to just put questionable aesthetics above function until the only possible use for it is to awkwardly demonstrate an ethos of individualism based solely on exorbitant privilege.
