This was a musical genre first. It wholly appropriates the aesthetics of a subset of 80&amp;#x27;s media and condenses it into a &amp;quot;historical fantasy&amp;quot; world that is easier to digest than the authentic thing.&lt;p&gt;You don&amp;#x27;t enjoy retrowave for its writing or storytelling, generally speaking. Treat Kung Fury like an extended music video and it makes way more sense.</text></comment>

It&amp;#x27;s still got a ways to go. But Hollywood probably ought to be more scared than it is. (Hollywood &lt;i&gt;qua&lt;/i&gt; Hollywood isn&amp;#x27;t necessarily going anywhere, &amp;quot;the best&amp;quot; are always going to congregate somewhere, but the &amp;quot;current regime&amp;quot; is probably going to &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; shaken up in the next few decades.)</text></comment>
