Retrofuturism?

RETROfuturism:
"A total vision of the future as seen through the eyes of the past, often a utopian society characterized by high technology (relative to the base time), unusual or exaggerated artistic, architectural and fashion styles, and an abundance of consumer goods; its spirit of optimism and embracing of the status-quo is a contrast with cyberpunk, although in many cases the utopianism is presented in an intentionally ironic or camp light." -Wikipedia

This phrase was coined by Lloyd Dunn in 1983. (WHO is Lloyd Dunn?? I have no clue - but points to you for making up such a word!)

Must Listen:

1) Don't Let Me Fall - Lenka (This is the song in the lastest Telus commercial.)
