Tech’s retro revival is hitting different.
80s aesthetics—think chunky CRT interfaces, neon gradients, and that Pip-Boy tool vibe—are creeping back into apps, web3 projects, and culture. Nostalgia for simpler, more functional tech amid ad fatigue and algorithmic overload.
Web3 dApps especially love the cyberpunk/terminal look: fast, ownership-focused, less “polished distraction,” more tool. Once the ad model fully fades, expect more of this—tech that actually serves you.
