Analog Punk

Works that employ an aesthetic reminiscent of the early 1980s through the 1990s (possibly even extending into the early 2000s as far as technology is concerned), often taking place in the future or an alternate timeline. Especially typical is the use of post-1960s tech such as audio cassettes, CRT displays, floppy disks or CD-ROMs rather than USB flash drives, cell phones, and flat-screen monitors, along with other such late analog and early digital devices. The presence of the Internet is optional; if it does exist, it's small and far from the all-encompassing digital domain we know and love.

Anime and Manga

 * Despite taking place in the 2070s on Mars, Cowboy Bebop has a strong 1970s aesthetic, right down to computers that run on vinyl records.
 * Since having a cellphone on hand wasn't common in 1995 when the film was made, it explains why such tech was absent in Ghost in the Shell.
 * The original Bubblegum Crisis is set in 2032, but generally has music, fashions, hairstyles, and technologies that all look like copies from or extrapolations of the 1980s, such as "retro thrash" songs that sound like Jim Steinman wrote them, all-in-one computer-monitor-keyboard units like the original TRS-80 personal computers and personal fax-video phones.

Fan Works

 * Spice Force Logic: Mind Games takes place in an alternate 2000 where Mars has been colonized and houses buildings such as a hospital where Earth medicine wouldn't be likely, let alone allowed, where Melanie and Emma ends up being stationed. Back on Earth, it was still common to use items like cassettes to records data, along with CRT monitors being the norm.
