Retraux: Difference between revisions

* Whether or not this was a conscious effort on their part, The Hives had that sort of image (and sound) that you might date to the Sixties heyday of garage bands, circa ''Tyrannosaurus Hives''.

* The Mike Flowers Pops' cover of [[Oasis]]' "Wonderwall".

* [[Two Words|One contraction]]: Lo-fi

* For his first few albums, [[Lenny Kravitz]] prided himself on using pre-1970s recording equipment exclusively.

** The Apples (In Stereo) have almost ''never'' used non-vintage recording equipment - about 99% of their recorded output has been mastered on eight-track reel-to-reel.

** Same thing with [[The White Stripes]], who sent promo copies of one of their album out on vinyl and said "If you can't play this you don't deserve to listen to it" (or something to that effect)

* ''Blue Country Heart'', a collection of '30s country and blues covers by former Jefferson Airplane guitarist Jorma Kaukonen, features songs recorded in a single take on period instruments.

* [[Monster Magnet]]'s early material (the two EPs, ''Spine of God'' and ''Superjudge'') is this kind of throwback to 1970s acid rock.

* [[Them Crooked Vultures]] wouldn't be out of place on classic rock radio. Upon hearing it, it's easy to think their debut album came out in 1975 instead of 2009. It helps that the bassist for the band is [[Led Zeppelin|John Paul Jones.]] One review remarked that the song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGp97OVybUM "Scumbag Blues"] almost sounded like it belonged on ''Led Zeppelin II.''

* Some works in the Futurepop subgenre of [[Industrial]] invoke this, such as [[VNV Nation]]'s latest album.

* Adele's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYEDA3JcQqw Rollin' in the Deep] is a straight throwback to the disco era, complete with the black diva voice.

* Most bands from the [[Elephant 6|Elephant Six Collective]], recreating psych rock or chamber pop from the 60s/70s.

** In ''[[Sega Superstars|Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing]]'', Opa-Opa's "voice" samples consists of sound effects ripped directly from ''Super Fantasy Zone''. This is in contrast to fellow retro racers Alex Kidd (who's [[Suddenly Voiced]]) and the Bonanza Bros. (who have their "he-he", the only speech they ever had in the original game, resampled in multiple variants)

* ''Pole's Big Adventure'' uses this trope to its fullest as it is a [[Parody]] of the 8-bit [[Platformer]]

** Most notable of them is ''[http://www.ganggarrison.com/ Gang Garrison 2]'', a fully functional 8-bit platformer version of ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' with online play.

* ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'''s art style (including some fake ads on the official website and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzYFWXyfiBw introductory tutorials shown on grainy projector film]) has a 1950s-60s aesthetic. The jazzy spy music helps too.

'''Kaiba''': "[[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|My affluence makes a nonsense of the regulations!]]" }}

** Not to mention this is [[Lampshaded]] by Kaiba moments later when he says he doesn't remember growing a moustache.

* The History of the F' Word is in black and white among other things. [https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/94420]

 

* ''[[Narbonic]]'' did one of these, [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/narbonic/series.php?view=archive&chapter=9791&mpe=1&step=1 The Astonishing Excursions of Helen Narbon & Co.], interspersed with the main comic.

** ''Narbonic'' also had the ''Dave in Slumberland'' strips once a year, which were drawn in the style of ''[[Little Nemo]]'', and provided immense foreshadowing.

** Flashbacks in ''Dr. McNinja'' use the shading style of the time when they take place (e.g. when the story was told about how Gordito got his guns, the comic dropped shading.)

* ''[[Wondermark]]'' is made to look like it was made in the early 1900s, and was: the author takes old-style printings and adds dialog.

** Mid-'90s retro. Raise your hand if this ''doesn't'' make you feel old.

* ''[[The New Adventures of Captain S]]'', a series made by [http://www.pbc-productions.com/ PBC Productions] about a gamer who can phisically enter Sega games, is supposed to look like it was made in the early 1990s. It takes inspiration from ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'', ''[[Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad]]'' and ''[[Saved by the Bell]]''. The credits use the same font that was used in ''[[Full House]]'' and the [http://www.pbc-productions.com/images/dvd.jpg DVD cover] is made to resemble the DVD cover of [http://www.movieprop.com/tvandmovie/reviews/breakfastclub.jpg Breakfast Club].

* [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/504353 This] [[Transformers]] [[Affectionate Parody]] gives an account of Transformers appearing in [[The Gay Nineties]].

* "[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/ask-thatguy/20495-ask-that-guy-violates-ma-ti Ask That Guy VIOLATES Ma-Ti] is done in the style of a silent film, complete with the text screens after the dialogue and black-and-white footage. {{spoiler|The illusion is broken at the end after Ma-Ti takes down [[Ask That Guy With The Glasses|Ask That Guy]] and reprimands the viewer for being sick enough to want to watch the titular act depicted.}}
