Retrofuturism (adjective retrofuturistic, retrofuturist, or retrofuture) is a creative and aesthetic style that combines futuristic themes with vintage or nostalgic elements from the past. It envisions how people in the past imagined the future, blending old-fashioned design, technology, and culture with futuristic ideas. This style often features sleek, shiny surfaces, bold colors, and imaginative interpretations of future technology, all inspired by visions from the early to mid-20th century, such as the 1920s, 1950s, or 1980s.

Retro-futurism became especially prevalent in the early 2020s in terms of culture, transport, architecture, and entertainment.
