I love this. The 3D planar background + synthpop tune just make it. If I had to give this a name, I'd call it "retro marketing". I hope more companies do this kind of stuff.

I love it and it's called "synthwave": neon / wireframe landscape / "metallic" letters with gradients in them and sometimes fake used VHS tape playback fx and of course synth music with lots of arpeggios, italo-disco style.

Makes me all nostalgic even though that genre wasn't identical back in the mid to late 80s/early 90s.

Vids are often featuring old sportcars from that era.

Here I was almost expecting the song to be a live-rendered actual .mod/.xm file (it's mp3), which also would have allow it to be continuously loopable.

... probably biased because I was introducing a younger friend previously oblivious to the modscene† a couple of hours ago through 4-mat's phantasmagoria.ntii (which has loop hints) and jester's elysium and stardust memories, the latter of which the Dolby Headphones rendering is quite enjoyable††.
