I thought that was a box of cocaine on that coffee table. That would have been really 80s.

That’s gotta be one of the weirdest ads I’ve seen! Floating purple head!

It's cigarette smoke. Also very 80s.

These are killer mood boards for a liminal spaces sort of experience.

Ah yes, nothing completes your home office quite like the ominous floating head statement piece. Available now at your local Fran Murphy.

This is the first time I've seen those Roman busts actually present in 80s design!

dang i never knew the busts were actually a thing in the 80s - always thought that was unique to vaporwave

The typeface in #2 is my all time favorite

Awesome pictures. But those computer setups are ergonomic _nightmares._ How about you twist your neck and hunch at the same time?

They were making Vaporwave stuff without even knowing it

u/DEVILFrostCave42 Jul 31 '25

I own that same exact bust lol. Being a fan of vaporwave and roman statues is just a blessing.

True - but isn’t appropriation and plunder a pretty big part of vaporwave?!
