Cassette Futurism

Cassette Futurism is a genre of retrofuturism based on the 70's and 80's. The media itself does not have to be set in this time period, but rather explore the speculated alternate future of it. As the name suggests, cassettes are the main way of storing and transferring data. 
==Visuals==
CRT monitors are often used, occasionally evolved into larger, more complicated machines, still with curved screens and chunky beige cases. These machines also often have large panels with lots of blinking lights and buttons and any graphics will be poor. Use of geometric shapes is common, and greebling is used mostly on places like lab walls or spaceships. 
Scenes may be monochromatic due to the overuse of grey/beige colours, sometimes with the glow of an led light, usually in red, green, or blue. If there are multiple colours, they are often analogous.

==Music==
thumb|361x361px|This is the mentioned music video that includes Cassette Futuristic values and motifs in appearance and sound. Most of the focused technology defining this aesthetic can be found in multiple forms in the background of this music video.
There is a fantastic song that exemplifies this aesthetic well by I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME called "Leave Me Alone". Within the music video of this song, it is set in a scientific setting where in the background old computers can be found, morphed into new technology implying them to be futuristic inventions. The video is also formatted to be squished and is of lower resolution, maybe to fit the style of a cassette tape.
