I think this aesthetic is fascinating. It both resembles very little of Outrun at a glance, but uses elements that are thematically and intrinsically linked with Outrun as a game. Visual symmetry, high-end cars, a blend of coastal and urban Americanised landscapes all encapsulated within an artistic style that exudes the FEEL of Outrun as an experience: exciting, immersive and relaxing.
lol I needed this tutorial, thanks! I was around and played Outrun a couple times but didn’t know the connection. I see Outrun art all over the place and was wondering the specifics. Having grown up in the 80s neon always feels like the right move to me.
Genuinely surprised by the lack of views and likes. This is an incredibly well put together video. I hope it gains traction. Really appreciated the research done for the topic.
Excellent video! I came for the 80's aesthetic breakdown and stayed for the historical negation, definitely didn't see that coming. Drive and Hotline Miami were seismic events that were, of course, then copied ad infinitum until we're in Taylor Swift's current soundscape (which I actually like but we'll save that for another therapy session...) Keep up the great work!
Great video. I loved the research and effort put in. It answered what I was wondering very thoughly. I was not expecting the ending but it was a valid message.
I’m obsessed with 80’s retro futurism. I’m wearing a Judas Priest Turbo shirt as we speak and am about to go out wearing Gargoyles Sunglasses, the model worn by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the original Terminator
The only thing you got absolutely factually wrong was... Outrun and Synthwave cannot die. They are eternal.... Otherwise great work, this was an excellent video.
Why the fuck aren't people liking this? Good job Nick. I remember playing the shit out of Outrun in the arcade. Sitting in the car playing this thing was awesome. Though the game wasn't great (preferred Spy Hunter), it was still a compelling experience. Getting to new areas was a buzz
Dang, I thought I was watching a huge channel with the quality of this one
Agreed!! Great job!
Wow Nick got back on premiere to finally bless us with another banger
“finally” LMAO yeah
@@NickThamanI urge you not to look at my upload frequency 😳
I love Synthwave so damn much man
the video was delicious, the detailed sources in the description were the cherry on top

I’m glad you liked it! You’re recent video on Tetris effect was particularly inspiring while I was making this. Congrats on 1k subs too!
Freaking ducking great video!! Really impressive! :)

When you said is this a ploy so we forget what the 80’s were like you blew my mf mind tbh
This took a turn, but I really liked it. Both aspects of it =)

Outrun is better than vapor wave
