The tv show The Jetsons is an example of retrofuturism from the 1950s era: flying cars, pill food, and robot servants are what people from that time thought would be commonplace in the year 2000.

Retrofuture
A genre of music that can best be described as "What they thought the future would sound like in the 80's". Appearing in films such as Blade Runner or Hobo with a Shotgun, the mood of a retrofuture song can range from cheerful and wondrous to bleak and dystopian, but the common factor is always synthesizer. Sometimes, a retrofuture song is composed entirely from synthesizers.
