Line 9:
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!)]].
This is the bright, optimistic vision of [[The Future]] that, until sometime in the mid-60's, the Western world believed was just around the corner. Our [[I Want My Jetpack|failure to make these dreams a reality]] means that works featuring Raygun Gothic are highly prone to [[Zeerust]]. [[Retrofuture|Retro-Futurism]] is a [[George Lucas Throwback]] to this vision. Stick "Atomic Power" logos on everything, and you've got '''Atom Punk'''.
The [[Mad Scientist Laboratory]] and [[Shiny-Looking Spaceships|Spaceship]] are among the most commonly used locations in a Raygun Gothic setting. The most commonly used monsters tend to be [[Nuclear Nasty|nuclear mutants]] and [[Alien Tropes|aliens in general]].
