Raygun Gothic refers to any creative work from 1900 through about 1959, predicting the future before it became possible. Think rockets and rayguns, flying cars and futuristic cities - especially if the vision never quite panned out in reality. We find this aesthetic in product design, book covers, films, radio & TV. “A tomorrow that never was”. The same style as in the Fallout games, The Jetsons and so on but focused on the time period through the 50s.

I started this because I was bored and I think I have Stockholm Syndrome for Lemmy.

    I think I might also have Stockholm Syndrome for Lemmy, but I’ve always loved this art style and aesthetic. I spent so many hours as a kid wandering the sci-fi section of the library just to gawk at the retro cover art. So, yeah, thanks for keeping me here. Subscribed.
