Aesthetics: Dark Academia
I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvelous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if only one hides it.

It's actually kind of striking how tightly wedded most major genres of tabletop RPGs are to the decades when they were popularised.
Trad fantasy tabletop RPGs – even those that aren't positioned as revivalist – are so intent on emulating the sword and sorcery literature of the 1970s that the only reason they don't come off as quaintly nostalgic is because nobody reads sword and sorcery anymore.
Cyberpunk tabletop RPGs are, at this point, essentially an exercise in retrofuturism, endlessly polishing a vision of what people in the 1980s thought the year 2015 would look like.
Urban fantasy tabletop RPGs might include smartphones and electric cars in their equipment tables and mention 9/11 in their lore chapters, but culturally and aesthetically, most of them are taking place in a world where the 1990s never ended.
I don't mean this as a criticism – I'm just fascinated with how this tendency is so strong that, for example, a brand new urban fantasy RPG written in the year 2024 is liable to end up being a 1990s period piece at heart even when that was 100% not the author's intention, simply through the inertia of the medium's well-established tropes.
I'm mostly curious what the characteristic tabletop RPG genre of the 2020s is going to end up being thirty or forty years from now, and I hope I live long enough to find out!

Genres: Dystopia
Where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission.

the majority of the cultural norms and ethos that the "X is punk actually" unfortunates post on this website actually apply in practice to juggalos (who can be variously described as leftist, anarcho-communist or syndicalist, self-organizing, self-policing, DIY, and majority working class or dirt poor etc) but i never see anyone on here post about the dark carnival or anything adjacent to it because ??? im not sure exactly, possibly something having to do with recency obscurity or just the basic hostility of the juggalo aesthetic. not even the clownfuckers on here are into ICP. i suspect this comes down to simple classism/racism because the ICP-adjacent artists are primarily rappers or include rap in their production and of course how closely aligned ICP and related artists are to poverty in the southern and central united states, particularly rural areas
