A community for sharing and discussing art, aesthetics, and music relating to '80s, '90s, and '00s retro microgenres and also art in general now!
Some cool genres and aesthetics include:

If you are unsure if a piece of media is on theme for this community, you can make a post asking if it fits. Discussion posts are encouraged, and particularly interesting topics will get pinned periodically.
No links to a store page or advertising. Links to bandcamps, soundclouds, playlists, etc are fine.

I don't care what you vulgarians say the Sega Genesis Yamaha YM2612 sound chip is beautiful. That crusty distortion effect, the bloopin ass bass, that thingy bell sound. It's music of the angels and it's the pinnacle of human musical achievement.
Shoot them bloops straight into my carotid artery
Also death dynamic shroud's latest album uses a Genesis sound aesthetic and it rules
In the right hands it's great, like Contra: Hard Corps, Gunstar Heroes or Streets of Rage 1-3 with the GOAT Yuzo Koshiro.
