What is retrofuturism in art?
Retrofuturism (adjective retrofuturistic or retrofuture) is a movement in the creative arts showing the influence of depictions of the future produced in an earlier era.

It could have been through various media like television, images, films, science fiction and non-fiction literature, Retrofuturism design, and architecture in the form of flying cars or monumental skyscrapers, to name a few retrofuturistic examples.

Is there a time period for retrofuturistic trends?
Both retrofuturistic trends in themselves refer to no specific time. When a time period is supplied for a story, it might be a counterfactual present with unique technology; a fantastic version of the future; or an alternate past in which the imagined (fictitious or projected) inventions of the past were indeed real.
