Refers to a piece of media that, for no particular reason other than aesthetics, is set in the past anywhere between the 1960s to the 90s, spanning the time when digital information was stored on magnetic tapes. This term particularly applies when the story in question could have just as easily been a contemporary piece set in modern times and yet often invokes analogue technologies in some half-hearted attempt to gain some nostalgia points, or features advanced science fiction/supernatural elements where they would otherwise not belong.
