A place to share and discuss Cassette Futurism: media where the technology closely matches the computers and technology of the 70s and 80s.
Whether it's bright colors and geometric shapes, the tendency towards stark plainness, or the the lack of powerful computers and cell phones, Cassette Futurism includes: Cassettes, ROM chips, CRT displays, computers reminiscent of microcomputers like the Commodore 64, freestanding hi-fi systems, small LCD displays, and other analog technologies.

This is straight-up nostalgia for me. Everything from the buttons, the font, fine details of the case design... I swear I owned this exact CD player in my childhood. Or at the very least, this was designed using some retro '80s tech as heavy inspiration.
EDIT: I just looked up the model number and this was actually a thing in my childhood. Almost as old as I am, releasing in April 1986. It was probably my first CD player; a hand-me-down from my dad who was a tech enthusiast.
That's so fuckin cool!!
