Doesn't really count but hey.

>>798 No I'd say it counts.

I'm so fucking sick of vaporwave and 80's shit. It was cooler when normies where making fun of it.

>>2360 See, I don't think the 80s were even really like this, although it probably has more to do with modern image fidelity than anything else. I mean, yes, a hypercolor shirt glowed a little, but it wasn't literally neon purple lighting up the night. Actually, that might've been the 90s, come to think of it.

>>2385 >I don't think the 80s were even really like this, although it probably has more to do with modern image fidelity than anything else. I mean, yes, a hypercolor shirt glowed a little The color palette of vaporvave really isn't that far off form some of the stuff you'd see back in the 80's and early 90's. Vaporwave stuff really turn's it up to 11 but it didn't manufacturer the look whole cloth. >but it wasn't literally neon purple lighting up the night. Technically that's more synthwave than vaporwave. If you really want to be accurate it would be sodium vapor and mercury vapor bulbs lighting up the night. Still pop culture at the time did have things with that neon on black glow. Tron being the most notable example. And the use of neon in malls and other places and in advertisements was really fashionable at the time too. Vaporwave and synthwave is more about perception rather than objective historical reality. If there's anything that vaporwave gets completely incorrect about the 80's it's the complete lack of wood-grained electronic hardware on display.

>>2394 I guess it's all about what you were paying attention to back then. If all a person remembers is Tron and Terminator, then you get Far Cry Blood Dragon. If you remember MASK and ST:TNG, you get grid lines on everything.

This borderline counts.

80s style

Made a few color edits.

>>10089 OH! OH! NICE! #2 and #4 are particularly nice.

>>2394 >The color palette of vaporvave really isn't that far off form some of the stuff you'd see back in the 80's and early 90's It's three years late, but every time I see this, it makes my brain itch. The "vaporwave" color palette is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_Graphics_Adapter The tl;dr is, back before the Internet, back during the Reagan Administration, IBM was selling a small number of home computers to hobbyists and a few more to businesses. And in 1981 they brought out an add-on graphics card that could handle multiple colors at once, instead of being strictly monochrome, as almost all prior hardware had been. It used two bits to store the color information, with four distinct possible values. It could do monochrome "high res" 640x200 resolution, or four colors at 320x200. They could be altered and sixteen total colors were available but by default CGA output was in black, white, cyan, and an especially ugly shade of lavender. See pics. Fugly, isn't it? The demo-scene people are now able to get more than that out of CGA by making use of undocumented hardware features, artifact colors, accidental hardware dithering on low-res glass-tube monitors, and so forth, but this is what a gaming computer's graphics looked like then. CGA was only bleeding-edge hardware until 1984, when IBM introduced EGA, which could do sixteen colors simultaneously and did not make you want to gouge your own eyes out quite so much. CGA was apparently so traumatic that apparently the normies associate this specific four-color palette with "old computers" and "old nerd stuff." CGA was already ancient history by the time of the September that Never Ended--when the normies bum-rushed the Internet in 1993. "Vaporwave" art, as far as I can tell, mashes up this really, really, really ugly color palette with early 2000s 3D CGI, in an attempt to imitate something that never existed in the first place. People who weren't alive in 1981, or 1993, whose only concept of those time periods comes from watching Tron and Weird Science and Buffy the Vampire Slayer in reruns on Mom's iPad, have decided this existed and was RiLlY k3wL. It makes my brain itch.

Close enough to count.
