I want to live in a neon and pastel drenched synth saturated 80's landscape...

All of those things still exist, they're just not ubiquitous like they used to be. How are the ones that are still around no good? Or do you live in the sticks and you either have to drive an hour each way or just buy everything on the internet?

>where do you live?

OP here and I live in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. We use to have two of the biggest steel producing facilities in North America, Dofasco and Stelco, and today they're a shell of their former selves.

I remember being a kid in the 80's, before NAFTA and Free Trade, and it was super comfy. Lived in a predominately white neighborhood, went to a grade school and high school that was the same. You had to actually go outside to socialize or get what you want. It was that sense of discovery that's missing, that around the corner there was always something new emerging.

Summers were always the best. Stayed out all night with friends and cuties.

It could just be me having a mid-life crisis but I don't know how anyone who has seen what the world has become over the last 30 years could say that it's been for the better.

I can't even enjoy simple entertainment because Feminists and their SJW numale lapdogs have ruined EVERYTHING by shoving their agenda politics into anything they can. Music, movies, TV and civilization in general has been brought low by women, niggers, faggots and their white guilt enablers.

Is there any way you can elaborate on that? Because 1)I'd say a great deal of us obsessed with these aesthetics are 90s kids (or younger) who grew up with only a CRT window to the 80s and whatever tales our elders had for us.
And 2)you're being very vague about this feeling and I can recall a vast number of 80s pictures that have a very negative view of american industrialism and Wall Street capitalism, as well as certain elements of consumerism and material elitism.
Most of this synthwave/80s aesthetic shit is fixated on 80s futurism which insisted that humankind was on the cusp of a wave (yes even back then) and that in either 20 years society will have collapsed or in 40 we will have burst through to some SciFi world.
So please, since I'm too young, explain to me how this hope wasn't some sort of mass delusion delivered by cars that suddenly looked like spaceships and home computers.

Agreed.

I live in a city and all of those things are gone. I go to Toronto occasionally and it's a fucking wasteland compared to the way it was 30 years ago.

>Everything is clean and PC now. Christ NYC feels like Disney now

OP here and I went to NYC in 2013 and I was soo disappointed. It was nice to see but it felt gentrified to the extreme. I would give anything to have been born 30 years earlier and got to live in NYC during the 70s'a and 80's. Yeah I know it was grubby, dirty and dangerous but it had character that is totally lacking now. youtu.be/uiggGCv2FFo

What are you talking about, things were never blue and pink and oversaturated, thats a product of memes and fantasy
do you realize you wish to live in a meme?
Not much different from who wishes to live in magic or d&d or miami

>implying the 90s were significantly different in any of the respects you mentioned
I was born in 1989 and you're essentially describing NW Ohio, right in the heart of the rust belt. All those factory closings, downsizings, cell phones, the internet, none of that became common here until around 2001, and if you were poor and/or had paranoid parents, then you didn't get any of it til you got to HS years later.
Moreover, you sound like a dumbass racist. You probably liked hair metal and hated Prince on principal, huh?

>Ever seen Paris, Texas ? In terms of 80s aesthetics that's actually my favorite. Not such a huge Miami Vice man myself. Prefer Scarface for the 80s Miami vibe.

Paris, Texas and Scarface are visually wonderful and great movies too. youtu.be/xbDia53nn0Y

City of what size? Fuck man my hometown has 45,000 and they still have all those things, even a little indie record shop. If the residents of your city are that asleep that they don't fight for the things they want and bemoan how their corporate overlords sucked their communities dry, well I have little sympathy.

not to mention the many MANY designs that are actually more 90s than 80s but mist of the idiots my age can't tell the difference

OP here and I just wanted to vent before the drugs kick in and I drift off forever. Goodbye. youtu.be/m72Z1Kn4FKk

It stopped being cool in '06.
He probably wants to be able to visit relatives who still live in those old neighborhoods without being shot.
My Gma's old neighborhood is half projects and section 8 now.

I think that's how everyone feels with age?
You just feel things getting worse even though they're just changing, one way or another.
The cycle continues to repeat itself.
Even I don't like change and I kinda know it's gonna happen to me down the line someday but it's true.
You just chill now, boomer.

Don't do it vro
