RND/ To consider “Next Gen Flat Shaded Polygons” as a wish from the Near Future Retro 80s:

In which one secretly longs for the good old time traveling days (still to come) of bad lo-fi polygon graphics.

RND/ In which (while asleep) you consider imagining happening upon an old unrewound VHS tape containing the pop video “Only In My Dreams” by Debbie Gibson
3994 x 2994 .jpg, edited in Gimp, screenshots via LOLtube
In which you note both that amazing purple-blue color often seen in oldskool 80s videos, and the bizarre ‘Remember: Brain Inside, World Outside’ model being shown Debbie in the video itself; interesting how this model entirely fails to take into account the fact that it already forms part of the whole (/80s video pop montage) dream. Perhaps the Retro 80’s ‘dream’ on display is a vision, projected outward from Debbie’s sleeping pop idol brain as an entire (fragmentary) hyper-mediated reality..

RND/ to consider an aesthetic mode comprised of warm, fake faded pop culture memories of light in an all american bedroom during what experimental internet theorist-for-hire Robert What terms the ‘near future retro 80s’
// how to play big science
RND/ to consider deep green luxury delusion of / experienced via Paul Mitchell Lemon and Sage Thickening Shampoo (1 Litre)
In which Amateur Postmodern Internet Theorist Robert What once bathed in dim romantic wonderment at deep synthetically organic bourgeois luxury remotely / symbolically implied by bottles deep green color (amazingly dark at bottom / wonderfully lighter at top) – entertaining notion that Paul Mitchell as brand somehow represents cool / slick 80s lifestyle potential
Indeed/ after using said product on his thick skull/ Robert imagined stepping out of white ceramic bathtub/ wrapping up in soft bathing robe/ eventually stepping casually out of house – out of old hyper boring everyday existence to ever deeper / infinitely more luxurious lemon and sage scented lifestyle adventures
Example statement via theorist Robert What/ In which ey personally endorse staring at deep green color of Paul Mitchell Lemon and Sage Thickening Shampoo (1Litre) as lemon / sage sented bathtime method of romantically imagining oneself as experiencing true luxurious ‘near future retro 80s’ lifestyle potential
FFS Rob stay clean / nice smelling sure – but also stay woke
