Retrojerking

The trend of using the 1980s as theming and aesthetic to try and invoke a sense of nostalgia in a piece of media. Particularly the use of things like VHS filters and synthwave music.

"This new analog horror video game with a synthwave soundtrack is just pure retrojerking"
"Oh I dont care for Stranger Things, it's just corporate retrojerking"
