Because it wasn't new, it was just 80's synth music with more bass.

Plus, the kids that were into it, weren't even alive in the 80's, so it was just a little fad for them.

drive isn't even 80s in any way
kill yourself

Drive was literally praised by all the critics for feeling like an 80s movie. Look at any review.

It didn't die though

That picture is fucking cool. Anyone know what that robot is supposed to be? Because it looks awesome as fuck.

yes, and they were fucking retarded for doing so
i wish refn never made that stupid fucking flick so these underage pajeet and spic memers would vanish and i would never of had to hear the insipid numale soundtrack

>i wish refn never made that stupid fucking flick so these underage pajeet and spic memers
you are indoctrinated pretty bad. sucks for you.

>indoctrinated
with what? good taste? fuck off to Sup Forums

Damn this post is so full of buzzwords that were it possible to contract a deadly infection from reading a post I would have done so upon reading yours.

dumb dishonest reddit meme hack director loving poster the movie was shit for plebs

>he thinks it's dead

Here's a (You)

>super futuristic cyberpunk
>"80s style"
Are you an idiot?

>stranger things and IT are huge hits

this

the vibe is more similar to 70s films anyway

This. Throwback 80s style never went away. If anything it became bigger after Drive.

PLEASE GIVE ME A LIST OF ALL THE THROWBACK 80S MOVIES SO I CAN WATCH THEM.

Cannonball Run

nm speed zone is what I was thinking of.

t. third world shitters
These movies weren't made for you fags so your opinions are invalid.

>21st centuries cities with neons, decrepit public transports and punks are not 80s as fuck
yeah sure

it's based on the reddit logo for sure, idk exactly where it's from though

Outrun (which is what this is actually called u pleb) has been around in its current aesthetic form for like over half a decade now already and it's only been gaining in popularity, i suspect BR2049 will be the peak for now though

It's something that comes and goes every couple of years. It's never totally extinct.

DUDE THE 80'S?? DUDE THE 80'S R FUCKIN EPIC DUDE R/OUTRUN IS EPIC LOOK AT ME IM POSTING PICTURES OF BLUE GRIDS WITH A PURPLE SUNSET ISNT THAT SO 80'S??????

are you serious? Stranger Things? Blade Runner? Not to mention shit like vaporwave STILL not being dead. Normie 2000's kids are far from being done with this shit

>Normie 2000's kids
Most of the people I've seen who like vaporwave are Trump supporters.

I still listen to that synth wave music all the time, and I not even like electronic music normally.

Probably a Cylon. Cylons are fucking awesome.

Same. I also like the aesthetics.

it didn't die at all, what the fuck are you talking about. The 80's are all the rage right now

Are you retarded? It's still very mucha thing, fucking Stranger Things is one of the most popular series at the moment and then there's the Stephen King revival particularly with It. Thor Ragnarok and GotG are also a thing you know.

>dying
>ignoring the explosion after it with The Guest, Kung Fury, Turbo Kid, and Stranger Things
>not to mention all the remakes of 80s franchises and movies

Epic nice LARP kiddos

It didn't die out synthwave is fucking everywhere these days.

When mainstream big movies do it like this, you don't really notice it for some reason

It didn't. You just didn't keep up with where it is thriving.

You're welcome faggot

Because you're boring.

Turbo Kid is actually pretty good

I didn't live during the 80s
but I love unironically vaporwave and synthwave and accompanying aesthetics/atmosphere

youtube.com/watch?v=72bRDqp10Ek
youtube.com/watch?v=JRU7ZTEbjCo

it has more of the pace of a 70's film. similar to taxi driver.

A majority of those things fucking suck.

fucking off yourself reddit

good thing vaporwave is 90s

That may have been what it actually said, I just remember something about it "evoking a previous era."

>so many retards posting in an actual reddit thread

fucking kill yourselves

More like GTA Vice City throwback or millennial interpretation of the 80's synthwave scene via Bing images.

The only modern movie that accurately recaptured that aesthetic was miami vice (2006)

What is Vice City's aesthetic called? I wouldn't mind more like that.

>What is Vice City's aesthetic called?
80s aesthetic.

So, literally what the OP said?

Because "it's just like that thing from the past!" is and will always be a shitty meme.

It hasn't. Did you notice the 'rather' successful IT movie which was set in the 80's.

In a couple of days we will have a gazillion threads about them 80's feels in Stranger Things Season 2...

Brace yourself for a tidal wave TV/Movies set in the 80's in the coming years.

Calling everything a meme is a shitty meme.

classic cylons are cool as heck

the essential look for the legion of killer robots

Meh, Lovely Bones was set in the 80s and that was an enormous flop.

Yeah but New Retro Wave channel on YT is bigger than Lena Dunham and Weinstein floating in the sewer.

80s movies weren't all synth scored with neon everywhere
who's the reddit cuckold that started this forced meme

Shut the fuck up about Reddit.

yeah according to Sup Forums neckbeards which don't matter.
it's still popular you dumbshitters.

or what? you can't downvote me here, buddy :^)

It didn't start with Drive, it didn't end with Drive

Fuck off Refntard

Don't turn around.
