''"Welcome to '''<small>THE WORLD OF TOMORROW!</small>'''"''
Raygun Gothic is a ubiquitous aesthetic of early- and mid-20th century [[Science Fiction]], roughly from ''[[Metropolis]]'' to ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]].'' Raygun Gothic architecture is modeled after Art Deco, Streamline Moderne, and/or Populuxe (aka [[Googie]]). Everything is slick and streamlined, with geometric shapes and clean parallel lines constructed of shiny metal and glass, lit prominently by neon. Sweeping curves, parabolas, and acute angles are used to suggest movement—movement into [[The Future]].
And of course, [[Applied Phlebotinum|futuristic fancy-pants technology]] [[Department of Redundancy Department|of the future]] is ubiquitous. [[Ray Gun]]s, [[Rocket Boots|jet packs]], [[Flying Car|flying cars]], [[Video Phone]]s, [[Space Clothes]], atomic-powered everything, cigar-shaped [[Retro Rocket]]s and other [[Shiny-Looking Spaceships]], and "electronic brains" capable of calculating complex equations in ''mere minutes'', all decorated with [[Cow Tools|little blinking lights that don't really serve any purpose (but they sure look futuristic!)]].
Line 16:
Not to be confused with ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'', which is just Gothic with rayguns. And Googie is not to be confused with [[Google]].
