Futurism, often categorized into various movements such as retrofuturism and Y2K aesthetics, has long piqued public interest. The early 2000s leaned heavily on a vision crafted from the hopes and dreams of previous decades. Think of the neon lights and urban landscapes depicted in iconic films like Blade Runner. The 80s established a darker tone in futurism, hinting at dystopian futures, while the 90s heralded a more optimistic take. By the late 90s and into the new millennium, it was clear that expectations were running rampant with echoes of spaceships, advanced technologies, and promises of a digital age.
