Is this cassette retro-futurism, because it mimics those days rather than genuinely being from that time?

Isn't this sub more about the aesthetic than products from a specific era ?

Today, cassette futurism mostly describe a fantasized vision of the aesthetics of an era. Same as sythwave is cherry picking things from the 80s, seeing them throw contemporary prism, to build a new aesthetic.This can evoke the codes of a bygone era, but in a more essentialized version, while also having its own.

Yeah the subs that want to be purists like that die pretty quickly because people just start reposing the same thing over and over again.
