VHS Dreams

[swamp_lynx]

In a parallel universe of 1995, the world is different from ours. In the 80's, Roland abandons plans for TR-808 and instead produces "TR-707 Saturn", the next generation drum machine which has a huge impact on music. An unknown Kurt Cobain commits suicide in 1988. Japan successfully counters it's economical turmoil in the late 80's and by 95' it is the world's greatest economical power, while Japanese are widely spoken in the developed capitalist world. Most of the 80's pop culture is still ongoing by 95', along with the accelerated Internet explosion into the mainstream. New music styles such as Synthpop, Outrun, Vaporwave and Synthwave are born. This is an alternate 1995. It is the future that never was... The future that will never be... A future that exists only in dreams caught on VHS!
